Put a deposit on a new car
Subaru WRX STi. Never drove a car like this before simply amazing. tested the g35 coupe, is300, lancer evo. this car simply destroyed the competition in almost every category (except luxury when it come to the lex and inf) sucks tho i gotta get winter tires and wheels now. not to mention the race tires they give you are rated for 10k miles........ ill give it around 6k before i need new tires(280 a pop, ouch!!)

ugh, id never get it simply because of the interior, same goes for the lancer evo 7

it is suprisingly comfortable which i could not believe. the ergonomics of the interior arent abd at all, a little lacking but it is a race car so that is to be expected.

thanks bro. the deal with the tires is that they are basically drag slicks lol. very beefy and very hard......guess that is why they are so expensive. im sure i could find a comparable replacement for less but from what i heard the bridgestone potenzas(z rated) they stick on there are just made for this car....who knows we will see

Acctually the tires are not hard, they are a very soft compound and wear very quick, they are ultra performance and all these tires will cost you in the 250.00-350.00 per tire...that's the price of performance...XXL

i meant the side wall is hard, but yes you are right its a softer compund. sucks abouyt the price tho. found them on tire rack for around 200

why didnt you go used?
same warranty and rollin off the lot depreciation wouldnt affect you. I bought a new G35 ... sold it, took a hit, never buy new again, if there is a warranty left IMO
I like em, what color?
did you get it fully loaded?
the tires I believe are michelin Pilot sports and yes they are pricey same on the G35.
and remember, as I am sure you know, your gonna have to get rims and tires that mount over the Brembos.

Good daily driver. If you could bare a winter beater for 3 months an 03 Cobra would have been worth considering.

the buy price was great thats why i got a new one. the warranty im sure ill void by the spring time with mods so thats not a concern either lol. there arent many options to get with the car, i got the arm rest ext, the turbo gauge, the auto dimming mirror. i didnt go with the 3 pod guage set cause it looks cheesy, rather get an autometer aftermarket job. the carbon fiber trim i thought was cheesy too, i kind of like the machined aluminum look it has. the only thing i wanted that the dealer said would take a while was the short throw shifter, i can always have it put it for the same price down the road....
the tires are bridgestone potenza ultra high perf summer tires....
good look on the brembo's im not gonna go crazy with new rims just some plain 5-6 spoke wheel will suffice, im gonna go to a local distributor when i get the car to check out what sort of apps i can get....

Other than the fact that they drive a Mustang or Camaro? I'm just messing. There are a few of those cars around there that are really quick, but the majority of dudes (here in Central, WI) that drive them are mullet-sportin' NASCAR hicks. I respect any car that is fast. Mark

see i like the mustang but they always cheese you out.. examples: not painting the side mirrors the same as the body, non functional hood scoops. im sorry but that is the gayest thing i have ever see/heard of. carol shelby must have kicked the wall when he saw that nonsense

the top one is a cobra, the bottom is a mach 1.... that is a functional hood scoop. shaker hood i believe like the chargers of yester year. the mirrors match on the cobra, not the mach 1. i know its very stupid and prob most people dont pa attention to things like that but i think that its the little things that can make a car great instead of being good.
