STi's are gay.

I preferred the previous year models looking sti than the newly redesigned model sti, it got me thinking especially the front end? I just don't get it? why the sti has some sort of evo front end looking?

First of all welcome and thank you for responding to a current topic instead of just shitposting your way to 15 posts like some people. That's actually a question that a lot of us had when we saw this generation of STI back when is was just a concept. It's kind of unfortunate that Subaru decided to go that route because the Evo and STI used to be unique cars that used a similar formula to do different things well and the Subaru lost some of its individuality. In Subaru's defense though the STI has always looked a little shitty by comparison (some generations more than others) and I think they've finally made a good-looking STI.

Above all else the STI is about to become the only the game in town since the Evo is being discontinued after 2015 so once that happens it really won't matter.

absolutely- but planning and doing are currently mutually exclusive. i've been lazy since i got it and haven't really done the requisite research on where to go beyond the local dragstrip. but the point of buying this car was specifically in line with the weekend warrior mentality of taking it to the track on a fairly regular basis.

once again thank you for your valuable contribution. always a pleasure.

i'll add that while nightkid's post is a welcome contribution to this nearly dead forum, i for one would much appreciate more attention paid to ensuring his written correspondence is distinguishable from shitty anime translations.

and i agree with this post; i've been hooked on this car since i saw the concept with the thought that subaru finally made a good-looking (modern) wrx/sti. i've never understood how the apple could fall that far from the tree in recent years; the 22b was a great-looking car, and even the 04-05s were for me, anyway. i've loved the concept of a turbo, awd toy with everyday practicality as a bonus, now it's something i enjoy looking at as well.

i considered getting the s4 or cla a45 amg that rich would have, but i've grown out of audis/mercs/bmws (*waits for reloaded to say i couldn't afford them anyway...). besides, the long-term plan is to get an f-type and demote this to the daily driver/track slut.

perfect- i actually thought summit point was farther from me than vir. it's virtually down the street from where i thought it was. awesome.

however, as to "now" - all good though, that's exactly what i need for spring. thanks.

Congratulations, I just believe they look a lot like EVO X

I was being sarcastic ;-) My son would probably fuck his STi if it had a vagina.

OP, fuck the dragraces with your STi. You have all winter to get your car track-ready. Although, from what I read, they come stock track-ready. Which tires did they come with?

Rich, what lap time did your son get on the 'Ring? I've been once this year and am trying to go this weekend, too (it helps living 3 hrs. away). Your son's car is gorgeous. Are you looking into another car any time soon? The Charger Hellcat really has me itching to pull the trigger, as does the GLA AMG.
