    The Subaru seems to be fast too, BF tires should be a big improvement for the team especially on tarmac.

    At least they must have done something drastic to the response system. sound more like an even burn, than the usual bangs. Also the sound of the "blow off" has chanced. In some of the test it sounds like they are using some sort of pressurized reservoir.

    Thats the old car not the 07 and i remember that sound from the Monte test last year but the sound must be realy close to 100db (think thats the limit) maybe it's so deep and not high pitch.

    But the snow test in france was not for sweden but Mont Carlo, don't think theyl use tarmac setup in sweden

    No I'm talking about the sound from the respons system and pressure relief (blow off)

    Ex. off the pressure relief. http://lelievre.vincent.free.fr/video/test_subaru.wmv

    The sound at 1.37 when turning around. Same on 7.10 and 8.21

    Fantastic video! There's no comparison, but it looks really, really fast! Is it BFG's and new parts that are doing it????
    ...may the force be with you...

    In that case Loeb would win every by three minute. You can think is it realistic or not. Maybe they were just joking.

In reality 307 was just narrowly faster.

    I remember that in the summer time Loeb - or some personel from Citroen - confirmer that according to parallel tests between the cars C2 was bit faster on asphalt but on gravel it was not yet as good as Xsara.
