My new ride...

Not a huge fan of non turbo 350's, cool car though. I am buying an 87 Supra turbo in the next few days.

LoL cause I had work on Mid-Day Friday! I drove 36 hours in a 48 hour period - came home and slept for a few hours, then went to work lol.




Yea Emerica I had originally wanted the car in black but I was buying used so all the blacks were pretty much garaunteed to be broken in with your standard swirly looking black finish... That and silverstone is 9999x easier to keep clean =D

Very nice. Congrats, I've never driven one but I hear they're really fun cars.

Yea it's so fun; especially coming from a 00 automatic cougar... This is actually the first stick shift I've ever seriously touched, and I had to learn to drive it in the middle of noon rush hour (bumper to bumper) traffic in philly - stop and go traffic on hills *cringe*.

Poor clutch :sad: . I never liked the ass end of the Z's for some reason, but it is a nice car besides that. I personally want either a 06, or a 07 Subaru WRX STi. I drove a 06 last year and almost busted a nut in the drivers seat because of how much grip it got around corners.

Any AWD car is going to do that. I personally think brand new Sti's are overpriced. Don't get me wrong, they are nice but not worth 30-35k.

And yeah Mav, good thing it was a new clutch haha. It's ok, I did the same thing with my mustang when I first got it and it's still perfectly fine. Just be glad you didn't learn stick on a car with a cable clutch and ~340ft-lb of torque.

I dunno about it being overpriced. I am wondering if you could buy a regular WRX, And put all the STi upgrades in it. Motor, Turbocharger, brakes, trim, interior, suspension etc etc for under what you would pay at the dealership. Somehow i doubt that could happen.

It's a matter of preference with cars. A car like a WRX STi is a "fun" car in my book. It is more at home on a track, hauling ass around hairpin corners on some country road, or mobbing down gravel/snowy forest service roads rather then being on grocery detail.

I'm done :suic:
