All hail the doublestack wing!

[Rootus]

Got me a new daily driver.

All I can say is WOW.

I love my Cobra. It will probably be some time before I again have a car that fast. Certainly the STI will never be as fast in a straight line. But in the twisties this car is unholy. And I haven't even gotten a chance to really exercise it. But the few times I've whipped it hard around a corner so far, I've just giggled. Never thought I'd own a car that could do such things.

I am planning on keeping the '95 for a while, to add a little spice. Totally different kinds of cars. This new toy may not have the rumble, but it has another fun sound effect -- whoosh! Even stock, you can hear it "breathing" as you drive around. Neat!

Maybe next time it'll be a Corvette, Patrick . Just can't afford it at this time, after I get some other things paid off (couple of years) I may give that a try.

Nice Dave! Gotta love the STI's. Definitely a terror on the open track.

 

[hungrymonkey]

if you run someone over, Will the wing cut them in half?




If I had the money, and needed another 4 door. The sti would definantly be it.

 

[saleenster]

Nice car Dave. I forget, but do they come with factory Brembo brakes at all 4 cornors for US models like they do over here? Either way, the wing has grown on me, as has the Evolution cars.

Yes.

Congrats. Just wait until you really get used to it, they are a blast.
Come to me oh child, and I will show you the way of the mods.

I was expecting an SVO, but nice choice.

I haven't experienced an STI yet but I've driven my friend's regular WRX a lot and I love that thing. Sticks to the road like glue, nice steering feel, and the boxer engine sounds pretty awesome with the right aftermarket exhaust. He's got the JDM STI exhaust on his which seems to be a lot louder than what comes on our US spec STI's... but I'm sure the catless up-pipe contributes to that too.

Cool, first time Ive seen the new front end. Any other differences this year. I heard they also had a small bump in power?

 

[gospeedgo]

[Tylerb59]

I'd hit it.

We do need to talk a bit, I want to put together a plan before I start buying mods.

I still have the Cobra -- I just worded it in the past tense because it's a foregone conclusion that it's going to a new home, and soon. Hopefully before the 8th of November (first payment on the STI).

Nice ride Dave congrats

Thanks Ed!

I don't mind sayng how much, you could probably make a good guess anyway (or just e-mail Royal Moore, they have two more ). The total price for the car was $32,050, which is $15 over invoice. Then there was an extra couple hundred bucks in DMV registration & title fees. It's possible to get them for about $500 less if you work for Intel or Nike, and are willing to wait.

im not real big on the new grill but i love the wrxs i want a wagon so bad but the insurance on it is way to high for some one of my age to be able to afford especialy while still paying for college on 9$ an hour

 

[SVTdriver]

Very nice car. Though I am also not a fan of the new nose. But it is just about the same color as my new toy.

 

[The Factor]

Thanks for the info Dave, just think if I got one too we'd have twins because that would be the color
