Press Release Body: MRT Performance has announced the upcoming launch of the STi
Grudge Match video to be released via YouTube and other major video sharing portals
on Friday 8th August 2008.

MRT Performance and Whiteline have combined to produce STi Grudge Match which
compares two identical Subaru MY08 Impreza WRX Sti's with changes to power related
parts and suspension related parts on each of the cars.

Filmed by Ignition DVD in Australia at Wakefield Park Raceway, one of NSW\'s premier
motor racing circuits located near Goulburn, between Sydney and Canberra, STi Grudge
Match aims to compare two identical Subaru MY08 Impreza WRX STi's in a controlled
environment.

Each car was setup to the same specification and then specific changes were made to
power related parts on the MRT Performance Subaru STi and to suspension related
parts on the Whiteline Subaru STi.

Once out on the track, both cars were driven by well known Australian GTP production
car champion Wayne Boatright who was renowned for the results that he achieved
driving several different model Impreza STI\'s with the objective of determining what
setup created the best lap time - power or handling.

Brett Middleton from MRT Performance said "we really wanted to get the cars out on
the track to compare and test various ideas with regard to the outputs of the cars
and see who could create the best bang for buck, fun car"

STi Grudge Match created a great opportunity for both MRT Performance and Whiteline
to setup and compare cars with similar budgets spent in dramatically different ways
- one being suspension and the other being power.

STi Grudge Match follows on from the overwhelming success of the initial Grudge
Match video featuring an MY06 Subaru Impreza WRX STi and a Mitsubishi Evo IX, which
currently has over 530,000 views on YouTube alone.

"The first Grudge Match was a huge success and gave people a chance, not only to see
some modded up cars going around the track but to also understand what changes we
made to the setup and help them understand how they can get the same type of
performance from their own car if they wanted" said Brett Middleton from MRT
Performance.
