A friend told me something interesting today

[JanSolo]

A guy who works at the company next to mine owns an STI. So a few weeks back, we traded cars for a while - he ended up driving my old red Evo for about 30 - 45mins. The whole time, he was going on how amazing the handling was, how easily it turned, etc - basically that he loved it. Then I spent all of 10 minutes in his STI - and of course, I liked it, but I didn't go as crazy for the STI as he did for the Evo.

Well, he sent me a mail today asking how much I paid for my black Evo because it turns out - he wants to buy an Evo now! He said that the only car under 50k that even gets close to exciting him is our lovely Evos. So, we might have yet another Evo owner joining us here and in future events. And of course, I offered him one last test drive to seal the deal.

A long time ago, I took pics of our cars parked next to eachother. This is what he is hoping to see in his garage.

that's a fun car to have, if it did came out eariler, i would've bought it instead... they run for around 39k msrp... and factory coilover setup with larger wheel/tire package for 3k more. epoxy bonded aluminum chassis, fibre glass shell, less then 2000lb, with a 190hp motor... it's a street legal kart.

and as soon as i bought the evo, Mit. comes out with a rs... :(

There's something about the STi's look that still bugs me up to day. :lol: http://forums.clubrsx.com/images/smilies/driving.gif

[vtluu]

For me it's mainly those two weird panels in the front corners, you know the ones with the pink STi logo on them. Shouldn't there be openings there to guide air to the brakes? They just don't like they're supposed to be there--as if the holes were designed in and someone just plugged them up.

[DB8GSR]

I think those 2 front panels can be replaced it with those big-o fog lights. I believe that was an option at the dealership.

I think what bugs me is that huge hood scoop. It really does resemble some sort of a bird catcher with pointy edge that will kill it immediately then swallow. :twisted: :roll:

[vtluu]

My friend Jason actually witnessed a bird being sucked into a hood scoop (might have been a regular WRX) at an autocross event. The car screeched to a stop and the bird flew out again. :lol:
