if im not wrong i think teh gd8(?) sti got beat by the evo8 in 1/4, 0-60 and skidpad....Originally posted by MrCrowley
Sorry= I was meaning how awesome the STI is and will be when I get a second car. I mentioned the Cobra based on that article is one of the few commonly read reviews going as a comparo.I told my buddy to get a customized plate that said Mongoose- but he has a little more humility than I. The rednecks must love to seeSoo-buh-roo and scratch their heads as the trunk of one with the big ugly wing does its slingshot routine past .. 3200 lbs, 300 hp, 300 lb-ft, 3 diffs (center driver controlled or "manual TOD" LOL), 6 speed, awd, safest small car(impreza), highest resale and reliability(subaru), 30,000 bucks, 150 top speed, 4.6 0-60, 4 door, .92 skidpad, etc. never seen another stock run out of the hole better. gravel or track. The only other person I have personally met that knows more about scoobies than myself is the Southeast Regional Service Rep for Subaru and he quietly told me after a few questions that the car can "sneeze" and have over 400 HP. He meant extremely simple mods. And when I get it I can really research getting its tranny in a VX. Finally a worthy 6 speed manual with double synchronized 1st and 3rd gear and TRIPLE SYCRONIZED 2ND! It also is one of the only if not THE only manuals with a friggin tranny cooler! I think its built with a one "track" mind- no pun intended. The sad thing is it smokes most "sports" cars and was never originally designed for street! Like the rally Peugeot 3 door hatch rally car from the '70's that did 2.6 0-60----------on friggin gravel-------. This same car ran the course of the 1977 Portugal Grand Prix------------It qualified 6th--------------This same car set the world record Pikes peak climb. Now into todays era along with Petter Solberg winning the WRC action this past year driving for Subaru. So are "real cars" designed for dirt and then somebody says "maybe Ill beat some tarmac guys today?" LOL
Maybe I shouldnt hint to the fact that possibly '06 the world but maybe not the US will see a 350 hp 3.0 liter biturbo Legacy STI- based on this years legacy (car of the year in Japan)
Hey guys if we all work hard enough- we might be able to save 3 of the best manufacturers and the only 3 left unscathed by "domestic intellect". Porsche, Ferrari, and Subaru. I can only afford to support 1 of the above for now. LOL
and for beating every muscle car ever made...come on now...u gotta show some love for the domestics...
