I've played Gran Tursimo 2 for a long time. Have you ever noticed that half of the cars shake like crazy (I can feel it with the analong on) and the other half shakes very little or none? The Impreza is one of the cars that shake voilently. So, no, I don't think the Impreza is built well enough to stand the pressure. I also checked on www.i-club.com about a post saying a lot of Impreza owners were tricked because of their cars weren't being built as well as the dealer said. So, now, the Impreza owners have to go to the dealer for repairs and who knows what else.
WTF?!?

Just play any of the Gran Turismo games: I recommend playing either the 2nd one or 3rd one. Each car has a different engine sound, different muffler sound, different handling, different acceleration, different braking, different shakiness, different loudness-inside and outside, different everything. So far, the S2000's muffler is quieter than the others and doesn't shake as much as other cars. It's about the same as the BMWs

The Cobb package is actually designed and built by APS in Melbourne, Australia. It is well tried and tested and is reliable. Gearboxes can be a weak point if driven abusively.
