these cars a built to rally and last time I checked there is no additional downforce needed for that.
RHAGEL said:I think that the only thing that is rice about the WRX & EVO are the spoilers on the back. I am not 100% sure, but it seems they are for looks and create little downforce; to me thats rice. Even if the spoiler is functional, these cars a built to rally and last time I checked there is no additional downforce needed for that. But I do agree with whoever was saying that rice is all in the individual car. I've seen some tacky ass bimmers and even recently a CTS-V.
I see, I guess that because the car is stripped down it is much lighter it needs all the help it can get. I'm not much of a rally fan so I guess I should try paying attention before I make any comments.Prodigy said:http://sinuhe.jypoly.fi/~piespa/globe/rally/paradise/pics/2004/finland/fin04_img_4118.jpg
it may not be needed, but every rally car pic I pull-up has a spoiler.
but the WRX requires premium fuelchimchim said:Back on topic: My friend, who owns a 3s 5door, says he's only getting 25 mpg. And he drives like a grandma and won't go over the speed limit on the freeway. That's not that much worse than a WRX. Can 3 (5door) owners tell me what you get?

I'm thinking more of the impact on my wallet...chimchim said:True, but environmental impact is similar.
but the hotdog is lighter weight and is more aerodynamic on the way to your mouth so its lack of power is only relative.Prodigy said:get the hamburger.. it's faster and looks cooler IMO

I'm sorry, define "costed" please. If it is this complicated to decide, then it sounds like you need to come up with a better idea of what you want in a car. Because in my opinion if you are going to mod it the choice is clear(wrx=more potential for cheaper), and if you are going to leave it stock for a reliable commuter, then again the choice is clear(Mazda3 cheaper initial investment and better gas mileage). No one can decide for you, and I know I wouldn't want to be "convinced" to buy a car. From the first post it sounds like you already made up your mind anyway.chimchim said:Oh, so funny.
So apparently some people need it spelled out. Most people would put more thought into the hotdog/hamburger IF IT COSTED THEM $20,000 - 25,000.
