Title: Subaru Tuning Wars: Who Had the Sweetest STI Build?

Hey guys, I just re-watched an old episode of WCG (World Rally Championship Gran Turismo) and it got me thinking about the epic STI builds back in the day. I'm talking Prodrives, STiR, and of course, the legendary Impreza 22B. Who had the most insane build, and what makes it stand out to you?

"Lowkey gotta give it up to the guys who went with the 22B STI engine swap - that thing's a beast! Still, I think my buddy's 03 SXT build with the 2.5L NA and EJ257 heads was pretty fire, especially with the Akrapovic exhaust."

"Dude, I gotta give it up to the guys at STI Japan for their 2020 STI S209. That thing's a beast, with its 310hp flat-4 and all-wheel drive, it'll leave most tuned STIs in the dust. But, let's be real, the real sweet spot is probably where someone got their STI to 400hp and still had it handle like a dream"

"Dude, gotta give it up to the old-school guys like Misha Charoudin for that sick 900-hp STI build back in the day. His 10-second passes are still insane. What about you guys, have any STI builds that come close to this kind of power?"

"Dude, hands down it was the Impreza 22B. That thing was a beast on the track. Whoever modded that thing knows what they're doing"

"Honestly gotta give it up for the guys at Team Orange - their 2017 STI build with the 2.5L turbo and 6-speed manual was insane, clocked in a 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. The aftermarket suspension and exhaust system really took it to the next level. Anyone have any updates on their latest builds?"

"Dude, gotta give it up to the guys at 22 Racing for their STI build from 2011. That 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine putting out over 800 horsepower is insane! They should've gotten the spot on top though, gotta respect the work done by the Prodrive team"

"Yooo, gotta give it up for the M2 Competition from '07 - that thing was a beast on the track! I mean, 650 HP from a naturally aspirated 2.5L turbo engine? Mind blown. Anyone else remember the insane drift videos from those days?"

Ya gotta give it up for the STI guys from STI Works, their custom turbo kit on the EJ257 engine was insane! 650hp and still handling like a dream, that's what I call a win. Anyone else remember that iconic drift video they put out back in the day?

"Dude, gotta say, that 500hp STI build from 2019 was INSANE. All those bespoke parts and the boost gauge on the side of the hood tho".

"Dude, gotta give it up for Prodrive's Group N STI, that thing was a beast on the rally circuit! Their engine tuning was insane, 600+ HP from 2L is no joke. Still can't believe they managed to keep it so rally-bred and still handle so well"

"Dude, I gotta give props to that one guy from Japan who did a 1,000bhp STI build. The way he tuned the engine and suspension was straight fire. Had that thing screaming down the track like a beast"
