Another car from Initial-D...
Been playing Initial-D like hell.. today's car will be the Subaru Impreza WRX STi ver. VI (GC8).

Drivetrain: 4WD
Transmission: 5-Gear
Best course: Akina/Akagi/Irohazaka (dry/wet)
Worst course: N/A

The GC8 VI has overall above average capabilities. It picks up speed
very fast on both uphill & downhill. In addition, the handling is very
stable. However, although not as bad as the Skyline, the GC8 VI does
have a tendency to (predictably) understeer, especially on high speeds.
The understeering can be easily remedied by braking before attacking
corners/hairpins & using the Out-In-Out technique. Even if the GC8 VI
slows down on the corner entry, its top-notch corner exit speed allows
it to regain speed immediately. Since it is a 4WD, the method of
attacking hairpins without losing alot of speed is by turning early to
get close to the apex of hairpins. Uphill-wise, it accelerates very
fast, although, it does exhibit heavier understeer. Braking is the best
method to remedy this problem. Because of its fast nature, when racing
on wet conditions, the full potential of the GC8 cannot be used 100%.
The best way to control the GC8 on wet surface when tackling a corner
or hairpin is by letting go of the gas on the corner entry and stepping
on the throttle once the car is facing the corner exit.

(Personaly I like this car cause it dosen't have any weak course.)
