Two Subaru WRX STi's Square Off On The Track

STi Grudge Match created a great opportunity for both MRT Performance and Whiteline to setup and compare cars with similar budgets spent in dramatically different ways - one being suspension and the other being power.

STi Grudge Match follows on from the overwhelming success of the initial Grudge Match video featuring an MY06 Subaru Impreza WRX STi and a Mitsubishi Evo IX, which currently has over 530,000 views on YouTube alone.

This lens is going to follow the STi Grudge Match.
