Overall, the KITservice WRX did well in the 2005 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, placing third in the Pikes Peak Open class with a 13:23-minute sprint up the most grueling and demanding hill in America. It did Falken Tires proud and sent the crowd roaring each and every time it made a pass. It also proved that style, function, and performance can be achieved with hard work and, of course, a measly $113K to spend.
