Why would a crosstrek need a rally suspension? It's a WRX.
To do rally...
Edit: I have a 2024 crosstrek and while it's good on dirt roads it's definitely not a rally vehicle.
Rally is far more than just being able to go offroad. A crosstrek is fine at going offroad, but it is far from ideal for anything rally.
Holy shit dude read my comment. 🤦
Yeah, it didn't make sense. "To do rally but it's not a rally vehicle" to which I was confirming that rally is a specific thing and a crosstrek isn't suited for it.
Dude if you put rally suspension on its a rally vehicle. I don't get your point. A wrx isn't a rally vehicle without rally suspension either.
No vehicle is a rally vehicle until you decide to make it one. No truck is a rally truck until you put rally suspension etc on it. You are making it sound like only a wrx is a rally vehicle.
No, there are plenty of other rally vehicles, but a crosstrek isn't one. You also realize that WRX stands for World Rally eXperimental. I also am not sure you know what rally racing is, I feel like you just think it's a fun word for "off-road" but there are also tarmac stages where you don't need ground clearance. The WRX is literally a road version of a rally car, the crosstrek is a CUV with ground clearance, that is literally just the point I was making. Either way rally doesn't mean off-road, it is a specific type of racing that sometimes goes off-road, but is actually on roads the vast majority of the time, just not always paved.
I gotta go do shit but I'll reply later. I feel like we actually both agree here. We're just arguing over definitions or something.
I have no idea what you're arguing over, all I said was that a crosstrek isn't the car that comes to mind when you say "putting rally parts on my subaru" to anyone who actually knows what rally is. It's like saying "I got drag slicks for my Pontiac" and having someone ask "aw nice, is it an aztek?" The WRX is literally named after and intended to be a consumer version of a WRC car, a crosstrek is meant for someone that thinks they might drive into a field to go to a concert once in the whole 6 years of owning it.
