Boxer breathing
During the coverage of Rally Mexico, everyone kept going on and on about how the Subarus lose less power high up in the mountains due to their boxer engines. Could someone please explain why that is?

Perhaps there's some truth to that but I don't see why. The Subaru has the same sized restrictor as all the other cars and the same amount of air is going to get inside the Subaru engine as in a Citroen engine. Never make the mistake of trusting what Paul King says
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

Same amount of air, but perhaps they make better use of the available air?

I doubt that the boxer is that much worse then other designs when it comes to high altidtudes. In the end it is just a question of filling four cylinders with air using a pump, and that is a problem all the teams has in common.

So you guys really think it's all just a big myth?
I have heard this from every source between Eurosport and Israeli local coverage.
Doesn't anyone around here have any inside information about this?
