--- Quote ---Is this 2-door version of the STI smaller than the EVO?
And the 4-door STI would be longer than the 2 door?
Takumi sounds like he hates his AE86.
The 4WD doesn't even smoke tires when drifting.
BTW, where the hell does Bunta get all the money from? No way he makes that much as Tofu seller.

I can only go by the USDM EVO, but the Impreza is shorter, and the 2dr and 4dr Imprezas were (don't make a 2 door anymore) the same overall dimensions (only a SLIGHT weight difference). If Bunta has a Type R or RA, the car weighs about 2750lbs dry.

That line's always bugged me too (I was in the process of moving to Japan at the time and didn't work on eps 7-8). I just asked Eclipse to translate the line again and he said it should be more like "someone I can't catch up to in the corners" rather than "out-brake". Put through the Editor Filter™, with my own translation, it'd be:
"It's no good... I can't beat someone I can't catch up to while braking."

It sounds like he's talking about out braking someone, which is exactly what you mentioned in the last paragraph.

Thank you Yoten, that has been bugging me for a long time lol...

Hehe... They're US models though, we never get those sorts of things here, unless someone was really particular and wanted a US model of those cars...
The 2 door EVO I have seen was not 2 door to begin with, it was simply a modified shell for track use and safety purposes on the track
And as for the power distrobution, last time I was down at Subaru, I asked about them, and the guy mentioned that off the shelf they're 50/50, but the ecu alters the power requirements as you drive, so they can actually be any number of ratios, instead of ones that off the shelf are locked to certain ratioes (There's a version of the Monaro here that is four wheel drive, with a 35/65 split all the time, regardless of driving conditions and so on)
Rally drivers use a base of a standard FR 4 wheel drift in most cases, especially for hairpin turns, or anything past 110 degrees (More than a medium turn), thus on a road more than 30 degrees but less than 55 degrees, it is possible to appear to be sliding, but still driving in a simple manner (And at a fair degree faster than an FR, because the power distrobuted to the road means that the rear wheels won't slide much, if at all)
All those degrees from an entry angle are valid at 90km/h, which isn't all that fast, but is still a fair amount of speed on a tight course

Out-braking someone and catching up with someone via braking are two different things... he was talking about the latter. You could loosely interpret the former to mean the latter, but that's just not good enough for editing purposes -- put the latter way, the line is not only more accurately translated, but easier to understand as well.
