table with some information!
If you have more, please do pass it along. So far, I've found no details as to the actual runs or types of cars being used other than this secondhand information being passed around.

'00 Dinan M5

The particular Subaru in that race was a competition WRX, I think. In North America, right now, all we have is the 2.5RS. 165hp. over the stock Impreza's 2.2l 140 (I think). It's a very sharp car, but nowhere near the performance of a WRX, which starts at like 220hp or so.

There are a couple/few versions of the WRX in Europe/Japan/Australia, the ultimate being the 22B, which is over 300hp I think. Stripped mostly bare on the interior, and ridiculously fast. They often compare it to the Nissan Skylines and those sorts of cars.

The new WRX coming to the States I think is the 225hp one, which was the base WRX-version engine upgrade overseas. Unfortunately, the new body is butt ugly!!! (In my opinion.)
