Damn. True. However, 911 Carrera Turbo S also has MSRP $181,100 ...For 5 times the price of an STi, I hope it would be 5 times as capable

Putting that aside, it is mechanically impressive indeed! "Look Ma' NO HANDS"

I also don't expect in my life time to see a show room floor STI go for 100k let alone 181k

I personally would be interested to see what Subaru engineers can do with a $181k STi...even if it is JDM only.

Lets demand a >$100k car from Subaru and then not buy one.

Man that Porsche seemed to love the abuse!




Edit: Car lounge? what the heck am I doing here??? I don't think I have ever posted in here before.

Pretty impressive, even at that price point. Try that in a GTR and watch what happens (assuming you could get around the nannies).
