Totally love this car. Bought it 7 days ago and have 400 miles on her now. i know theres allot of 08 haters but in person the car is sick. Rides amazing as well. This weekends plan is to tint the windows & tail lights, de-badge, and after 1k stage 1 re-flash good for about a 20% hp boost. More then enough to rip up the back roads lol. Today was the fist day of no rain so shes very dirty.

Let the haters / flaming begin.

wait so why did you switch?

Honestly for 2 reasons. One the old one was too small. I needed the extra room and with the back seats down you can fit like a 50" tv in the back. And also with the STi theres more potential for auto cross and and its built stronger. I blew the tranny in the wrx just with bolt ons and a tune. Very weak tranny. The STi is pretty much bullet proof.

I like the old one better.

Meh if you saw the new one in person you might change your mind. Pictures don't really show the car off well.

if this is your dd, whats your other car?

I sold my 03 cobra to another member on this forum a few months ago (car put down 640wrhp) to buy my house. I'm looking into building a notch over winter.

Harriman state park??? Didn't really like the new ones when they came out but they're growing on me. Don't like any new cars until I see them on the street for a little while.

There is something about them that I like...different. It looks more fun than the new Evo. I was riding by one the other day and was not impressed.

Hahah hey dude! Yeah i know its bad. But the cobra was the worst. Thanks to you though i was able to buy my house and stop driving my nice cars back to my parents house lol. The funny thing is i have nothing in my house but couch's and a TV but i have a new car in the driveway lol. Oh well i figure i have the rest of my life to buy furniture.

When I test drove the new STI and the New EVO X I was very dissappointed.

06 EVO IX and and 07 STI FTW!

Congrats on your purchase though.
