look at the pictures of the STi shifter....is it just me or does it look like you have to through it a 1/4 mile? i hope its short. Also...NO MOMO STEERING WHEEL?!?! wha?!!? why?!?!?! The wheel on the stock w is so much nicer!!!! so much!! even car magazines are picking on the cheap looking plastic steering wheel!?!??! what is that? and why?

 

i understand what it is about...performance and such....but the interior is much nicer than the stock wrx...if they wanted to go for strictly racing....it should look more like the Evo...and the steering wheel may be easier to race with...but still....they could ahve made it nicer. and the shifter seems like it has really long throws...which for racing....i think is much worse than short throws....agree?

 

I believe it's a Momo but I could be wrong, but a special STi version and with STi badging instead of Momo.

Also, short throws have nothing to do with height of the shift handle. Often it is confused since aftermarket short-throw shifters make the handle shorter. The STi shifter is supposed to be shorter throw than the WRX but from what I remember when sitting in it, it's not extremely short like some aftermarket ones.

 

we should be complaining...ITS 30k!!!! not to mention the evo is a good alternative...maybe better alternative. one of the main plus' to the STi is that its interior is higher quality than the Evo...i also know about the short throw thing and thats why i was asking about the shifter. but the steering wheel i don't think is Momo. i have been reading alot about the cars...and that was one of the downfalls of the STi even though the evo's main downfall was all its interior being cheap and of course more turbo lag than the STi. read motor trends comparison. the times are way off but the other things are accurate...well as accurate as opinions can get.

 

No no no. You meant to say You're basing your decisions on your interpretation of a photo of the interior of the STi.

Read his first post again.
I don't think he's even seen it in person let alone actually touched it and shifted it.

Am I wrong here? Just do us a favor and wait until you can see an STi and sit in it before you go trying to rip it apart.

Oh, and 30K is nothing to pay for this level of performance

 

 

alright alright, i jsut figured if the WRX had it then the STi should also, since its a step up. i am not deciding if i like the STi or not based on the steering wheel i am just saying, thats something idon't like about it and something i really like about the WRX.

 

Do you really care what brand the steering wheel is? I bet you, even if it's not made by momo, by STi wheel is better and you will find it so after trying it out. If you just want to be able to tell your friends "I have a momo wheel!" then just buy one. Otherwise, I wouldn't freak out about it until you try it.

Further, the shifter is definately a step up.

Oh yeah... and so is the engine, wheels, tires, brakes, drivetrain, suspension, ...

 

<edited: double-post>

 

it just has STI on it.

It's a momo steering wheel made esp for the sti.
