    I'm just wondering where have all the 98-01 Impreza gone to? i don't seem them anymore... also everytime I get the chance to get one they seem to go in hiding and then when im not looking for one they all come out... I guess its just my luck ehy.... I would like to see some RS's please...?

    Idiots driving pick-ups while talking on cellphones keep crashing into them, so they get more rare with every passing day. Mine went to Seattle last year, which seems to be some kind of Mecca for Subarus.

    I love my 98' coupe, you're right I rarely see other RS' driving around, and when I do they're being driven by older women? hmm

    Me too... I got a L instead of an RS because I wanted something with the least amount of options possible...

    There's a few here in fargo and at least 3 of them are on here...

    on RS25 they had a thread that listed all of the 2.5RS produtcion/importation numbers. IIRC there were only about 14,000 2.5RSs ever made/imported into the US. So that is part of the reason. They have the break down over there too, which includes the unicorn (98 RS Acadia green) of which there were only 300 or so ever made.

    If you take into account all of the ones that have been crashed/totalled or ones that have been scrapped (due to body or mechanical failure) the actual amount in circulation is significantly lower.

    Meh. It doesn't take a whole lot to make an L look exactly like an RS.

    There's one in my driveway, and I'm stalking another one in hopes of buying it.

    There seems to be a million of them around duluth these days.

    It will be done soon....school and work pretty much take up all my time now. I was waiting for 4 months on backordered valvesprings, so that kept me from putting the engine together over the summer. I'm not going to put an ETA on this build, it wont be rushed and it will be done right.

    Souy07, it is a porsche grey.....but there are many imperfections in the pain and body.
