No one else has realised this because we, i'm sorry to say are in the real world. The rover metro has always been a serious force to be dealt with in the rally world as with the focus. I own a 200bhp honda and on occasion I have beaten imprezzas and even evos, this is because they were not racing me. I have also been left for dead by a pug 106, as it was well tuned. I assure you if you came across a imprezza or evo with tunning simmilar to yours there would be no contest at all, ever. No sorry. Evo and imprezza 1- MG 0, and liquidated.
