.........cause then you will want to buy one..........like I did!

They are sooooooooo cool and I likt how they brought the sedan with the high rise back.

Put weird ideas in my head to trade my lil Cobalt SS Turbo in................

YUCK..........


Thank god I had my fun and then got the hell out of there before I gave my cobalt ss away for next to nothing(financially).


Just beware if you do.............

Run fast after you hand the keys back

 

do eet

 

Junk !!! Keep the cheap.

 

yes i know the feeling about the STis
my buddy has one and i went for a ride in it. damn near **** myself when he launched it.
with his 18 psi AWD and launch control this thing took off no other.
im just glad that i have the thought of "i will never own a Subaru" stuck in my head or id have one as well lol

 

Why would you never own a Subaru? Why did the one guy say they were junk?

 

that's why its good to have friends with them i just launch theirs when i want my awd fix lol

 

i want to drive this car so bad, i just havent seen any on any dealer around here. this car does 18psi stock?

 

no the one he drove must have had cobb on it somehow

 

I think the STi's are overpriced. Would've gone for the standard WRX, just as quick (quicker in some mags actually), and nearly as fast on a track. Basically for 10K you are getting brakes, wheels, tires, and admittedly better resale value. Not worth it IMO. Standard WRX is classed much better for sutocross as well if you care about those things.

 

I own a 2002 bugeye wrx. Love it. Id own another one as well. So much more solid then my cobalt its sad..

 

What was the asking price for the STI here in Canada? WRX 265 hp < STI 305 hp does anyone know what the differences are that make the HP differences?

 

kh no!
i LOVE the cars lol, but EVERY one and their mother has one by me and i like to stand out, thats why i drive an orange car lol

but as for the 18 psi, he did some stuff to it, what all he did i couldnt tell u.

we raced from about 60, i was in 2nd he was in 3rd, he walked me......... wasnt happy

 

they have different turbo's but the wrx makes up for that with gearing 5 speed vs 6speed

 

Subaru is great for reliability .They are overpriced from the factory. Overpriced on parts an labor if you don't do your own work. The reliable being said that's until you up the power levels . They start breaking all sorts of drivetrain parts at that point. Don't get me wrong modding your car can cause failures. It just seems to happen alot to subarus. Most AWD cars have this Issue due to launching . But I used to work at a suby dealer and saw the failures alot. For the 40k you pay for loaded sti you could have much better.

 

I doubt the STi actually makes 40 more horsepower than the standard WRX. They run essentially identical 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I suspect the WRX is underrated powerwise. Cars trap at like 106 bone stock.

 

but u cant hazzzz no RPD in STi!!

 

Your a funny guy.

 

I was reading about them on the Canadian dealer web site yesterday lol thats what it says there STI 305 hp WRX 265 hp

 

Yeah, that's what they are rated at. Just saying I think the standard WRXs are underrated, like the SRT4s, rated at 215 in '03 and put down 220+ at the wheels stock.

 

haha, yea i got a ride in a built up sti sedan... ******* love that car, its simply badass inside and out, handles awesome, sounds sexy as F***, goes like stig... gotta hand it to those japs for making real rally cars

and for the record:

sti>evo

 

Sorry , I hear what you are saying ... justify the extra cost. How much of a difference is there in 1/4 mile times?

 

I'm coming from a 02 wrx before my SS.. it was definetly a super fun car, it KILLED backroads and I had a **** load of fun in the winter. Other than that, power wise, ss is boss lol.

 

I rallycross my dads WRX. So much more fun than any cobalt could be in a straight line

 

If i'm spending that much, i'd go for a used 335/135.

 

Buy one and make sure you get the Black Radio option

Then i won't have to see anymore Radio Threads
