Agreed, I plan on getting them done professionally when I get the windows tinted.

Love it. I have to baby it for 950ish more miles though to finish break in, so no boost for me for a while :(
That being said even keeping it <3500rpm its still faster than the 3 easily. Handling feels better too. No downsides at all except the shifter is too tall lol

Maybe someday when I get my hands on an extra badge.

I already stripped the dealer tag off, need to get a hair dryer out there to start working on the rest. Probably just the AWD one for now, then the Subaru and Impreza ones later

i watched a video the other day of a car n driver review of 7 different 4 door 4 cylinder sport cars. had speed3, wrx, gti, ss cobalt, si civic, ralliart lancer and something else. they said the wrx had a harder launch and more pull in low rpm than the sti??? i find that odd. oh and the speed won the overall lol.

This gives a pretty good idea of the color. At least on my screen.

Has to do with the weight and the gearing. WRX is slightly faster 0-60 and 1/4 times. STI is faster track times

Is it just me or do the hatches look very similar to the MZ3 hatches?
