new STI sighting
Hey guys. My buddy and I were cruising up to Rogers in his Tiburon yesterday around 3:30pm on Bayveiw just south of Clarke and I saw a new Subaru WRX Sti in silver. I know the specs and potential of the car are amazing, but I think it was really ugly looking. The white C-West WRX that's always at Speedstar is 10 times nicer looking than that Sti any day.

Ummm.... you were riding in a Tiburon, and you have the nerve to call an STi ugly?? 
To each his own... you're the guy that'll go home with a nasty fat chic from the bar, and then call my model g/f ugly the next day 
j/k

Holy **** that's crazy. Yeah I know a guy up in Richie Hills that just had to replace a tranny on his virtually new WRX becuase the moron let anyone he knew drive the **** out of it. Stupid ******* Gino's man.
I know the STI is purely about speed, but the thing looks like the Pikes Peak hill climbing car out of GT3. Just too tacky for me. I like clean jdm tuner styles.
And as far as the Tiburon, well my buddy's is a base model, which sucks, but my brothers GT V6 is sooooo sick. We went cruising for 3 hours downtown the other night to look at lofts to buy (him not me) and it was the first time I was in it. The thing has so much power, and it handles like a ****. He took some part out of the tranny that makes it shift so much nicer and put a lot more of the power to the ground. Can't remember the part though. Some kinda valve in the tranny I think.

Felt pretty damn fast to me, at least compared to my Z24 hehe. The thing is, because it's a 6 cyl. it runs sooooooooooooo smooth. But yeah it feels really quick and handles amazing. We took some really twisty roads and offramps and stuff and my bro was just pushing it to the limit, and the tires didn't squeel. Good thing those racing buckets are so supportive hehe.
Also, he had some valve or sensor thing removed from the tranny so it puts the power to the wheels much better than before, and the shifts are extremely clean and crisp. I love that car now. Who would of thought I could like a car from the same company that made the Pony.
