    I was riding with my buddy Jason in his black 03. We saw a red 2008 STI with what looked like an older driver, it was hard to see. Regardless, that car is sick. It was at the corner of bells ferry and barrett pkwy around 12:10pm. Sorry no pics, it went by to fast and we were on our way to lunch.

    Did the old guy happen to resemble our fearless leader (Alex)?



    His dad did just buy an 08 Red STI;)

    it looked very good in the motor trend article. there's no convincing me otherwise, the new sti is sweet.

    I just read that article the other day. I was suprised about how the STI is around 300 lbs lighter with more power and they still couldn't get it to accelerate. And despite all the videos from Japan showing that the STI beats the snot out of the Evo on the track, they got slower times.
    There must be a big difference in the USDM and JDM STI. Or their drivers suck.

    their jdm 2.0 vs our usdm 2.5l. But in motor trend the sti out accelerated and out braked the evo x. and that's the mag i subscribe to.

    so who was this mystery sti.

    All the reviews I have seen indicate the power and braking numbers are better for the subbie, the AYC on the Mistu is what gives it a BIG edge on the track...

    I want to drive the new STI and the new WRX. I seriously doubt I could own one due to my knee troubles and their stiff clutches. I would still like to take one for a spin. Anyone own a stock WRX or STI and are willing to let me drive it? :D

    I saw him again this morning at 9am. He was going north on sandy plains by the dunkin donuts. The windows are pretty dark and he was once again on his cell phone. That red is hot!!!! I want one!

    And I take it as a personal insult for someone to have that car and not be on this forum!!! (ninja)
