The chassis of the P2 started from very humble beginnings—Subaru’s 660cc R1 city car—one of those tiny Japanese hatchbacks designed to park easily in Tokyo back streets. Hot-rodding fan Peter Stevens then borrowed a classic West Coast shop technique and sectioned the R1’s top-heavy body cutting four inches from the bottom of the chassis to lower the bodywork and roofline. Chopping the Subaru from the B-pillar back, Stevens then added a classic notchback coupe body with an aerodynamic Kamm-tail. The P2 features sledgehammer performance punch thanks to a retuned 2.0-liter flat-four Subaru Impreza WRX Sti engine, making a storming 344 hp and 424-lb-ft of torque. To make this performance usable in a road car, Prodrive is perfecting a less aggressive version of the anti-lag system that keeps the turbo boost up on its WRC cars, even when the engine isn’t roaring at wide open throttle. More boxer stuff.

I will say this. Dodge, Mitsubishi, and Subaru have really focused on the tuner crowd. The thing with the Subarus that I have noticed is that they are quicker
than they are fast. The Dodge seems opposite.

Subaru, low, low 1320 times, but low trap speeds.
Dodge, not as good 1320 TIMES, but more speed.

My Typhoon intake added 3 mph to my 1/8 mile, and added almost 3 mph to my 1320 speed. Times only dropped 2-3 tenths. (best before intake was 13.15, best after was a 13.00.
