Penelope, say hi to everyone.
She’s a late ‘97 Subaru Impreza Turbo. Goes like stink; 275 horses under the hood have her galloping from 0 – 60 in about 5 seconds. Top speed of about 160mph. Stable as your granny’s teapot and nimble as her Siamese cat. She’s really great for zipping in & out of traffic as her engine was mapped to deliver more torque at lower revs.
The custom body kit with two-tone leather upholstery and dragon decal was done by a buddy of mine who runs a customs auto shop. She straps on 16″ speedline alloys (these are to rims what Christian Louboutin is to women’s shoes) on 205 Potenza’s to wrap her up. I removed the stock exhaust she came with and fitted a quiet one. It reined her in somewhat but now she’s fast and virtually silent. Most people admit to seeing only a blue blur as she whips past.
See ya later?
