You buff that out while makin love to it (omg) NICE! That must take a lot of work to keep the paint that nice considering where you live.(thumb)

Well...the new STI was designed with help from Subaru's top WRC driver. The skin was designed to be as aerodynamic as they could get it so it could compete with the manufacturers that are winning WRC these days. Although not completely logical to say this but one could probably draw the...

The STI drivetrain is actually very stout. It takes a lot of torque, above 500awhp, and clutch dump abuse to cause problems on the 6 speed STI drivetrain. Even then you are probably more likely to break an axel or diff first. The WRX 5 speed is the one that has seen more problems but those...

Make your own decision, but be careful putting all your trust in the guy that runs radartest.com. Besides, you can buy a Bel from that site and to me, that doesn't represent complete impartiality. But, read on...some interesting information. Radar Detector Sabatoge! Before someone responds...

touche on the MS3/MS6 thing, maybe it was too much (beer) for me. $20k for a MS6 is a screamin deal. Good for you on that deal. Both the standard and limited STI for 2007 were $31,618 (invoice) +$625 (destination) = $32,243. I personally include invoice and destination for the overall cost...

Before this turns into a b**** fest and this thread is full of arguing...calm down. I did not post information that was criticizing you...was just saying you should compare like options on the cars and use like purchase prices. You were the one comparing a STI at MSRP pricing to an out the...

You should really compare out the door prices of both cars. And, did your 20k price include factory NAV? So, anyone who pays 40K for a STI with NAV is a complete fool or has too much money. Not trying to rag on you here, just wanting to point out a fair comparison.(thought) 2008 Subaru WRX...

Edmund's comparo between a new STI and Shelby Mustang. Click 3rd video on the right. 2007 Ford Shelby GT vs. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Video 2 of 46 categorys? Wow!

The difference is the Corvette is a proven leader car around the world, not just the US. And it seems the C6 has cemented that leader role. How much do you hear about the Viper in the last year? The Cobalt...well it desperately needs marketing hype...wasn't the whole Cobalt SS almost killed...

Wow...just noticed on nasioc.com that the first USDM MY08 STIs are now starting to show up. Carr Subaru in Portland, OR has some. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1405048

I can't believe that I have read through this entire thread and not a single person has questioned the 08 turbo Cobalt 'Ring' time of 8:22. I am calling BS on GM on the 8:22 time. GM is wanting us to believe that the Cobalt used for the 8:22 time was a production Cobalt even though I don't...

OP, Post #22 by BayAreaMS3 has pics of an article ran in SUBIESPORT December 2007 issue. That article is a review of the USDM 2008 STI at Laguna Seca. If you can't read the article in the pics, go and buy the mag and read up. They are very impressed with the new car stating it is the fastest...

great...I do not like when that happens...I did search for MS3 WRX Caliber C30 and nothing came up, oh well. Looks like that other thread got closed for arguing (enguard).

I searched and did not find a post with this link but Mods, please delete if this is a repeat. 2008 Subaru WRX v Dodge Caliber SRT4 v Mazdaspeed 3 v Volvo C30 - Comparison Tests

haha, shouldn't bother anymore...guys with one sided experience will only consider one side of the argument. seems as though you're wasting your breath. Some interesting information you have provided though, thanks.
