*The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (air bags) affords the driver and front passenger additional protection in a moderate-to-severe frontal or (when equipped with front seat side-impact air bags) a side-impact collision. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon bag deployment and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should always be properly restrained in the rear seat.

The question is not "if" I'll get one, it's "when" I can get one!

The performance bump is excellent and the US FINALLY gets a killer version! It will surely hand an EVO it's **** and a couple of Detroit's finest will get spanked too.

Please SOA, don't make me give plasma for this rocket!

 

What's an RS?

 

Definatly one sweet ride....looks fast just sitting still

The reason why I think SOA is pulling off a hat trick is due to the fact that they are listening to the consumers. If Honda and Mitsu could have done that, they would be in the same boat as SOA. However it is a little too late! Imagine the potential of a lower compressioned 2.5 L motor!

The SRT-4 will still be faster....

























































Till this hits the street . Hey Val we ever gonna meet up or are you just going to harrass me on IM.

 

TROLL

Seems we're having a few problems with the server. We're going to continue to work on it until everythings up and running as usual.

Thanks,

I popped over to the EVO forum link that Val dropped and they are jumping the mitsu ship bigger than life. Practically every poster over there is ragging on Mistu for not making a better EVO and blah blah. Whatever happened to sticking to one's guns? Most of 'em are saying STi rules. They are tools. I guess I was fortunate enough to get hooked by Subaru. Reading about/dreaming about the WRX was only the beginning. It's like the auto equivilent of crack. I can hardly wait to drive to and from work so I can experience my '02 Rex. Now the STi? Unfreakinbelievable I say. The first person that gets one owes us all a brain dump on what's it's like to pilot one. Whoa.

 

Well said. The STI should make us men into giddy little girls. I've always, and I am sure most of you have too, was thihking what if Subaru had released a 2.5 RS turbo? Well the answer has came. Kudos to SOA for listening to us.

BTW, I was at the LA Auto show, and the new EVO is not the same as the Japanese EVO. The evo we get is pure junk. Even the interior looks like crap. Anyways, let Mitsu continue to dig their own grave.

i got on the STi list @ Irvine Subaru a few weeks ago..i think i was #88. It seems the first 100 people on the list will be getting it close to MSRP (or thats what i was told). I caught a glimpse of the list while i was there..the bastards at Prodrive USA were #1 on the list.
