Default S204 on 9-2006 Best Motoring, not new

Great episode with lots of info on the S204. Did the 0-400, 0-600, and high banked oval against; 06 Z06, 911 Carrera S, Gallardo. Then had it do 5 laps around Tsukuba with; 06 Z06, Murcielago, and GT-R Z-Tune

Best Lap Times for Tsukuba and Total, S204 started #1:
S204 1:06:80 5:39:54
Z06 1:06:78 5:40:14
Z-Tune 1:06:71 5:40:49
Murcielago 1:06:88 5:40:52

S204 was getting caught on the 4&5 lap.

0-400, 0-600, and overall:
S204 12.887 16.957 1:06:932
06 STi 13:582 17:417 N/A
Z06 11.840 15.809 1:06:856
911 S 12.768 17.070 1:06:319
Gallardo 13.192 17.166 1:05:412

Gallardo had some shifting issues on the 0-400/0-600. Driver seemed have trouble with the vette in the oval's turns.

Only wish I could understand Japanese so I could hear what they had to say about the handling dynamics and other tech tidbits the Subaru guys had to say when they talked about the S204. You have to like the lead the S204 has over the regular STi.

I have not been up to date on BMI so this isn't new and I make no claims that it is. If you have seen the episode or clips on youtube/video google.....good for you. I searched both those sites and couldn't find the new clips I'm referring to.

Titanium exhaust, pillow-link suspension, $3000 Recaro carbon fiber seats, special shifter trim (!!!)...

The other three cars should've raped the S204. The S204 had the slowest time trial time, but for some reason, the other three cars were significantly slower when they turned the cameras on.

The STi was placed in 1st starting position as it was the slowest/weakest car out there. The Z06, Z-tune Skyline, and Lambo were all fighting it out in the back allowing the STi driver to run much smoother lines up front.

That being said the faster cars were catching up on the 4th lap and I thought the Z06 might have been able to get the S204 on the last lap, but it just couldn't quite do it.

Yes, if they had only raced two cars at a time starting from an even grid the S204 would have lost by quite a bit.

I just started watching the 10-2006 BMI and they have the Legacy B4 STi going up against the Jaguar S-Type R and two TOM's tuned cars; G35/Skyline and Toyota Avalon looking sedan. They stuck the Legacy back at the 4th spot and while it does alright in the corners as soon as they hit the straight you can see the more poweful cars pulling away. The STi was able to climb up to second by late braking turn 1 after the straight. It was able pass both the S-type and Toyota using that technique. Legacy finished 2nd, set the fastest lap time of 1:10 and was catching up to the G35/Skyline on the last lap. The Toyota that started 1st and was 1st on the 3rd lap finished last, 5 lap race. S-type finished 4th.
