Alright, i'll clarify. A good driver driving a slower car will do much
better then a crappy driver in a mega-HP car, to a resonable extent.

Again I say, an average driver versus an average driver *in identical cars,
but one has a better suspension*. The one with the better suspension will
win. This is true for ALL forms of automobile racing.

You are correct in saying that the engine in the Impreza 22B is based off a
2.2L engine. You're also correct in saying that if you start with a better
car, you'll end up with a better car. Subaru thought of this as well, that's
why they started with the 2L engine and bored it out to 2.2L. Start with a
better engine, end up with a better engine.
