Got this off IWSTI... Overall it turned out ok, no more Potenza's http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2008-sti-discussion/104661-l-k-what-stopped-my-dealership-today.html
Following Subaru's tradition of producing "meh-looking" little cars with loads of performance...... but I still don't know if I would pay for one...... can't wait to see how it drives Much better than the WRX though, as far as styling goes, but I really need to see it in person before I pass any judgement...... not quite as striking as the Evo X, I must say.....
+1 I bet it looks even more striking in person. And I must say that it wears that dark grey color extremely well. I think it's going to be an incredible car.
It may be that with the US-Spec block and the demands of the Dual AVCS that the oiling system just might not be up to par for trips past 6600 rpm. I want to know what turbo is on it for it to make peak TQ at 4000...altho it could be that the D-AVCS could make it peak there instead of 4400 on the same turbo. OR...it could just be that the red zone starts at 6600 and it actually limits at 7100 like that last one.
I'd drive it...but still fugly. That's "fucky ugly" for those not in the know. If anyone honestly thinks that looks good, you're lying to yourself and everyone else.
245 tires stock is awesome. Did anyone else notice the manufacturer tag from Illinois? Are they making the STi's in th States now?
hmm when i am ready to upgrade the wife into a newer car i might pick one of these up.. well not the sti of course.. hehe.. not a bad looking car though..
Has anyone heard the damn thing?! All the clips I can find online own my face with incredibly loud, raucous, burbly boxer thunder. Just add catless downpipe and for extra crispy 911s!
I agree. It looks bad ass in the video. By the way, anyone know if that center console gauge screen (displaying what looked like TPS, AVC-S and fuel) is stock?!?!?!?!?
its finally starting to grow on me i think... at least the 245's are pretty sweet. bumed about no more potenzas though.
Ouch. OK, so if they are that much, I'll be getting one from the used market about 2 years after that. Unless I make a boatload of money somehow... Hmmm. Anyone want to buy one of my kids?
hahaha....that looks like the same intercooler that comes on the pre06 WRXs oh, and there are two things that I like about this car so far, and that is it. Nav - looks like they did a decent job of integrating it into the car. Tires - 245's FTMFW bitches
No STi painted on?!? You lose like 10 Horsepowas! Thank god you have the fugly spoiler to make up for that...
