Only if you dont know things like Charlie is on a FFD gearbox and the Zen one can manage still on an OEM 6 speed worth a tenth as much for example.
The Imprezza OEM drivetrain (if you pikc the right year/model donor) is strong enough in standard form for serious use, and available for peanuts, so is cheaper to maintain for that reason.
If anything the Zen car is marginally faster
Agreed, it appears that way, although like mentioned it probably could attribute some of that speed to the pro driver, so they are much of a muchness performance wise I suspect.
