Where do you want it to be quicker, what event are you racing in, and what's the competition?
the Impreza sedan wrx sti '10 handles like it's on rails also.
Its AWD. Slow down before a corner and accelerate through it. No breaking in corners as you will just plow off the course. Seems people don't know how to drive AWD cars as this seems to be a common problem.
When I said drives like it's on rails I meant it has great handling and can take turns like it's nothing.
