    So I've told a few people this already...
    At Boxerfest SoA representatives got to check out the S401 and even take it for a test drive. They said they are interested in purchasing it from me and we will stay in touch. They took my contact information and gave me theirs.
    Part of me hopes they buy it, part of me hopes they don't.

    I'm actually impressed you took it there! It's also exciting to see that Subaru might be interested, however, I love this car dearly and also hope you keep it... but this is your car.

    I'm happy a few more people got to enjoy it. I also hope that I can take it for one more drive before you sell it, if it does indeed happen.

    So I reach out to SoA every couple weeks or so and they say they are still interested but then disappear until I bug them again. I'm not sure what to make of the situation....

    Sadly no. The representative I deal with at the local office is very responsive and I appreciate that, but he isn't the person that makes the decisions on things like this. The guy who does is out of Cherry Hill and isn't even very responsive the the local rep. I'm very frustrated here. I would rather them say they aren't interested outright than continue to ignore me. I'm not going to beg them to buy the car. I'm perfectly happy being the only person on the continent with one. The problem is space. I may have to ship it home to San Diego in a couple years if SoA doesn't buy it and that would be sad for everybody because it would just disappear in storage and nobody would ever get a chance to see it.

    I'm tired of waiting on SoA. So I asked IAG if they'd be interested in buying the S401. They passed but said they could help advertise it (they know people in the right circles) as long as they get a cut of the sale. I was told to send them pictures and information on it, but I'm finding that I have shockingly few pictures of the S401. Actually, I have very few pics of all of my cars other than the Imprezaab....

    It kinda shows what's actually important to me.

    I wish I could get a loan out for it.
    Yes officer, I did hit a pedestrian, but instead of dwelling on that why not focus on how many I've missed?

    I would not say the S401 is not important to you. I would say its not practical here since you cannot legally drive it. I think if you were able to register it then this would be a different story.

    You are 100% correct. I don't even care about the legality of it, but it bothers my wife greatly. The other annoyance is the 96 Octane requirement.

    I just hope we don't see it get crushed.

    Huh? Who would buy it just to crush it? Do you mean Customs? They don't care because it's in here legally. They've closed the case on its importation. I spent two and a half years with paperwork and fees before it even came here to make sure of that.

    Okay, yeah I wasn't sure if it had any risk of that. It's good to know there is no chance of that.

    So I was looking up something for a friend on the ee20 and came across a chart that says the final drive on the S401 is 3.90. I thought that seems to tall for how quick the S401 accelerates. Would you happen to know the final drive on this beast/beauty?

    3.9 is correct. It's essentially the same transmission in my Impreza, just shorter 5th and 6th, and no DCCD.
