'95-'97 was still Group-A. Different ruleset for the cars. When the WRC rules changed in '98, it took Subaru 4 years to make the GC competitive, and even then they felt they needed to redesign the car. 0 = 0 as far as Subaru WRC Manufacturer's Championships by the GC vs. GD.
Plus, Manufacturers Championships are won by reliability, not speed. Winning 3 Manufacturers Titles does not indicate a fast car, it indicates cars that don't break down and/or drivers that don't crash into stuff... or just lots of cars on the grid.
Also, this is a silly debate. The GD chassis is a better platform, you're just bitching because it's ugly. If the bugeye didn't have the crappy headlights, you'd be just a bigger fan of the '02 than the '01... it's a better chassis with more power and better suspension! If that stuff isn't important to you, why did you ditch the RS for an EVO? The RS is 10 times better looking than the EVO.
