Daniel's Log, Star date:-315965.51

I have found that this new vassal that I have acquired is quite simply the most amazing motor vehicle I have ever had the pleasure in which to pilot. From the alloy wheels to the fire-breathing leviathan engine, I am constantly confounded by its never-ending perfection. While in its thrall I am immune to all my troubles and a feeling of overwhelming euphoria captivates all my senses that I worry I might ejaculate over the sapphire blue alcantara seats. No matter how I try to deny its magic power of me, I always give into its deep molasses come-hither rumble.

seeing you talk about your new STi makes me want one too, time to sell my rex and 350 and get me one. Your STi sounds like a frrrreak, likes it messy.

To YOU, the one who doesn't know how to drive.


Going from a wrx to an STi is a drastic difference.

You know, thats what I thought too.. Then I bought one (thank you insurance) I put 3,000 miles through it, 2,000 of those miles were tuned miles, thanks to any early xmas gift from my wife, she got me an access port, I never saw it coming... That day I called a dear friend named Mike from GST, after he had his way with it, the car has since been unbelievable! sure, it could use some work on the suspension, maybe more power (I don't need more then that... for me, having 330+ hp (not to the wheels) is fine for me... When I do track days, I dont need 500 hp, its too much... The power provided is perfect for what I use it for, handles so MUCH better then a stock WRX... Its just a better car in almost every way... The transmission alone gives me goose bumps when I rack through the gears.

Its just a well balanced car out of the box... I'd LOVE to drive a highly modified STi, so if anyone has one and is willing to let you're experienced brucie juice drive it, I'll more then welcome to accept the offer.

hell wait to you get a turbo-back and a tune on it

if I had to do it all over again, I know exactly the way I would set up an STI.

Enjoy my friend

I can't speak to the rallycross part of your statement, but the car does not make the driver--the driver makes the car. If you're a good driver in the mountains with one of the vehicles listed in your profile, putting you in an STI would only make you that much faster.

My belief is that the STI is underrated, not overrated, especially when one considers the power to cost ratio.

STi is definitely not over rated. Every single person that I have taken for a ride instantly want one.
