is it possible to have more random letters in a car's name?

Dang, it took US reporters nearly a year to talk about this car...

This car was basically produced because Subaru needed a ringer to beat out the Evo 7 RS Sprint... and it barely does... but not really since the Evo has better brakes and handling. Oh well. ;)

C/D doesn't do clutch smoking launches... I think you could do better than 5.4s 0-60 considering the Evo 7 GSR did it in 5.2 and the SpecC is supposed to be faster. I guess it's enough to say, it's fast... look to a British publication if you want abusive bleeding edge acceleration #s. They're not as shy about destroying the test car. :D

True I bought EVO at the beginning of second semester after i got my marks for first semester. It was a little present to myself for passing..hehe. I bought CAR in Heathrow Airport, the one with the Enzo on the cover.

I really enjoy the writing style in these magazines. In CAR they have a section atthe back which rates all the cars in the UK market with little comments on all, those are hilarious! You should see how they insult hte Camry and Accord there!

Yeah, I've gotten CAR on a few occasions. The car ratings part of the magazine is the SAME every month and takes up too much of the magazine. I do however like their photography and writing style.
