2006 Subaru
Impreza WRX
STi Sedan
The 2(X)6 Impreza W RX STi, is a
made for-the-streets version o f an
Im preza rally ear, w hich can often
be seen on the Speed Channel or
ESPN, hauling tail through the airor
perform ing a four-wheel drift in the
forest to the thrill o f hard-core fans.
I he 2006 Subaru Impreza W RX
STi is all about perform ance, with a
dose o f practicality. Few four-door
sedans can match this ca r’s accel­
eration, speed and handling.
Subaru used the hair-raising rally
environm ent as a testing ground
for the STi that is destined for your
driveway. The result is an extremely
capable sedan that ju st begs to be
unleashed to punish the pavem ent

with raw street racing power.
W ith a 3(X)-horse, 2.5-liter en ­
gine and trick features like Brem bo
brakes, an intercooler water sprayer
and a driver-controlled center d if­
ferential, the Impreza W RX STi a t­
tracts the attention o f many car
enthusiasts. W ith so much useable
pow er the STi is scary quick. The
stock engine is 0-60 mph in 5.8
second, 1/4 mile 104 mph in 13.15
seconds. This makes the STi the
fastest street-legal Subaru ever.
The 2006 STi appearance and
perf orm ance enhancem ents include
the tough-looking rear-spoiler and
hood scoop, which has been nar­

Jefferson Holds Their Own in 5A
Reclassified after
drop in enrollment
Jefferson is getting along just
fine at Class 5A.
The Dem ocrats w ere the most
prom inent boys basketball team in
the state to be left out o f Class 6A
when the O regon Schools A ctivi­
ties A ssociation’s reclassification
created a new prep landscape.
Jefferson, a perennial state play­

the school.
Basketball rem ains a staple and
a source o f pride. Seven o f the last
eight seasons before reclassifica­
tion. Jefferson won a state tourna­
ment trophy, including a cham pi­
onship in 2000 with a team w idely
regarded as am ong the best in state
history.
This season. M arshall Haskins,
Jefferson’s coach, scheduled many
o f its fam iliar foes in nonleague
games.
W hile being a pow erhouse in
the state o f Oregon is fine and
dandy - Jefferson was voted pre­
season #1 for this season, by both
the coaches and the m edia - Haskins

Rainier Beach High School has re­
cently fielded team s that have been
considered the best in the state,
even though it is a Class 3A school
in a four-class system.
“ W hen y o u ’re g o o d y o u 're
good,” Haskins said. “ Levels are
irrelevant.”
In years w here Jefferson can
make a strong clai m as the best team
in the state, H askins said he looks
forward to the argum ent.
“ It’s like the BCS," he said. “ I’d
rather be Boise State and be unde­
feated and then argue that we are
the best team .”
Haskins said he is not concerned
that the best players in the Jefferson
neighborhood will seek out thecity's
6A schools for more exposure or a
chance at a grander prize. If the pro­
gram remains successful and the
scheduling rem ains com petitive.
Jefferson basketball shouldn't have
any problem attracting players. And
the Democrats plan to make them ­
selves at home in Class 5A.
