I don't get it... A little blue econbox, bone stock running 12.7's. Sick. Driver (nice guy) had the time slips to prove his claims. Killed me on the street twice. Bone stock STi with 1100 miles on the clock. What's even worse was how he was hanging with a silver 03' Cobra on Westheimer (Houston)...

The STi is a handfull - watch out!!!

 

Your sig said 11.8...I refreshed the page and it now says 12.2? Anyhoo what happened, did you fry your tires or what?

 

Racing on Westheimer!!!! Thats intelligent

 

Eh? It was always 12.2 on the new L, my old L (2001) was a bit faster...

My launches on the street aren't the greatest, but the AWD guys are killer. Even the regular WRX's can scoot off the line.

 

Don't feel bad, those buzzy ricers will NEVER look good. They (STi & Evo) may be fast but they are fugly.

 

My Cobra and I got a real good look at one Saturday night.........of course, I never saw the back end, so someone else will have to let me know what the tail lights look like...

 

My friend has one of those in blue. He said it was expensive though, 31-32k and he had been waiting for it for a long time. Huge spoiler though= rice

 

I don't think the WRX looks that bad. But if I got one, I'd HAVE to take that damn wing off the back (that would be my first mod) I don't care how much money it took, that piece of crap would be gone. I've yet to match up with one of the Sti's, but this last weekend I was between two mildly modded WRX's (not the STi) at a light (call that coicedence! ) They both got a small jump off the line, but by about 70mph I was up at least 2 or 3 carlengths. They were nice guys though, gave me a thumbs up. One of the WRX's was really nice too, black with black wheels...looked slick

 

I will soon be adding one to my stable. Sweet cars.

 

my friend has one of those...man those things are sick...i think its like 18lbs of boost from the factory?

 

those new 04 US sti's are nice. same price as a new lightning too.

From subaru's site:

300-horsepower @ 6,000 rpm, 300 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4,000 rpm
2.5-liter intercooled and turbocharged 4-cylinder boxer engine with Active Valve Control System (AVCS)
Full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD)
Mechanical limited-slip rear differential
Suretrac viscous limited slip front differential
4-wheel fully independent sport-tuned suspension with inverted struts
6-speed manual transmission with short-throw shifter

 

Crazy cars. Damn quick for an econo-box. Only drawback is I think they have tranny problems, but ??? Maybe it's like our rods - a lot of problems, but a lot of people not treating them right???

Every time I see one I point and make a comment. My girlfriend HATES the looks and just says "NO." LOL. Maybe one of these days I'll have one as a "toy."
