A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Subaru offered the XT, a truly wedge-shaped ride ripe for intergalactic travel–or, when placed in the right hands, the $2003 Challenge. As legend has it, a spectator at the $2002 Challenge gave the doorstop-shaped Subaru to brothers Erik and Travis Sneed. To prep the 1987 Subaru for our competition, they added a used nitrous system and fabbed up their own exhaust system.
Our October 2006 issue features a postscript to this one: Reader Bob Vitrikas found that very Subaru buried in the weeds just west of Cherokee, North Carolina.
