Prove it. Prove to me that they increased the stiffness of the chassis for rallying and not just for safety. Then I will change wikipedia and cite it. If it's just going to be uncited crap anyway it doesn't really matter. I 100% agree with you about the 4 doors btw. Not to mention even if it was stiffer for rallying that doesn't necessarily translate into better street handling. Keep in mind a stock 02 "WRX" has stiffer springs and swaybars than a real Impreza does stock, so naturally it will handle better.
