Gone to the dark side.

FalconGuy016 · Jun 9, 2007

I totaled my car hitting a bear this week (I believe the thread is still on the first page)
so I've been looking for a new car. I was looking into a fully built 2001 Cobra but that didn't pan out.

So I turned to the dark side. Sorry guys.

330 awhp (to the ground!) @ 21.5 psi tuned.

$21,900 with 46,500k miles.

Edit: Mod list

Turbo XS Front mount intercooler (/w BOV)
Turbo XS Turboback exhaust with 4" downpipe
Cobb Accessport tuner

Just that and it makes 330 to the wheels I'm happy.

now you have a bear catcher on your hood

looks nice. i looked into them not too long ago and i must say are appealing

good luck with it

thats my favorite WRX body style. cool car, i hear its a nightmare working on the boxer motor though. STI's are bad man cars.

FalconGuy016 · Jun 9, 2007

Oh, and I present you with the S&W .50 cal emergency bear gun.

That is a very sexy car, and those are some really good numbers.

Damn that didn't take long to replace

Nice car! Now off to the WRX forums! LOL.

But seriously I bet that car is WORLDS faster than your GT! That would be on par with a stock 03-04 cobra from what I have seen.

dark side = GN you got a crackerjack toy .

I was actually debating between a WRX and my Stang, and it wasn't an easy choice. I'd choose an STi over my GT hands down though

Pennywise2 · Jun 10, 2007

Congrats on your STI and enjoy it!
I like my STI worlds more than my old NPI GT.
You shouldn't say you gone to the dark side
since you didn't purchase a GM vehicle lol.

Stang|ess · Jun 10, 2007

STI = alfa romeo front end
STi = prior models.

shame shame mr impreza

Poisoned Pony · Jun 10, 2007

congrats on the purchase

EPIK · Jun 10, 2007

Congrats!!! I personally like the previous STI body style better, but its still a badass car I think it needs some better, wider shoes & a tad bit lower stance. I wonder if it will smoke my Mach 1

Ahh well....at least it looks like a really well done Scooby Doo.

....I still think you'll miss the instant bottom end torque of the V8 though.

I second to that. I carry Para 1911 PXT in my car with extra mag. Its more for those sorry punkass who wanna rub me in my car, and questionable if .45 is gonna do anything to the bear, but 16 rds of Hydrashock outta do something I presume...

As far as WRX goes.... not my cup of tea, but really nice car regardless

yeah but the small turbo's they have will make up for it.

My friend has a 2005 Stock STI. He went to the track for the first time last week and ran 14.3 and a 14.5. They are fast but a stang can beat those numbers. I can respect what the STIs can do but the looks don’t do it for me. I can't stand that wing and the hood scope should be a lower profile.

BlackenedSVT · Jun 10, 2007

21.5lbs of boost! geeze thats a lot to only make 330whp. Not a bad choice though I guess, fun to drive.

Sorry to hear about the stang man

Unless you catch him in the head or lungs that .45 might become part of your anatomy

Well its its no cobra but its still a pretty sweet car. Gotta love those WRX's

The WRX has a lower profile scoop, and the wing is functional. I dig it.

If the STi ran a 14.3 an your friend knew how to drive it, then a GT would be a good half second behind the STi.
