The title is wrong anyway as it was a dead heat 
If you read the link from scoobynet from the person who was there,he said that they swapped cars and still got the same lap times.As it is top gear,it can be taken with a pinch of salt but in the real world i am positive the car with 400bhp would lose to the one with 310 bhp,proper gearing,250 kilos lighter with 6 pots and far superior suspension set up.

I love it, for exactly that reason, It's ugly, fast and handles well! I've had a 'few' problems I won't deny it, But thats to be expected with a 15+ year old performance car, which why I said my first comment
If I ever got a cossie, it would be in the shape of a 3dr though..

No blinkers for me.I just love my fords and go on ford sites to take about them and help people out who have had problems with them.I drove my friends impreza and i didnt really rate it.It wasnt really anything special.

lookin at the video I'd be very surprised if there was a 150hp difference between the two, unless its edited/staged extreemly to make it not look like it. If the ecos had much more power, it doesn't show it at the start.

The impreza weighs 250 kilos lighter and has better brakes and suspension,along with the fact it has far better gear ratios.
I have a type r impreza like the one in the video with a bit more power and they are awesome cars,better than an escort in most areas.
They are 300bhp out of the box,close ratio box which tops out at around 130mph and have a standard 0-60 of 4.4 secs.
