Spent some time with some STi's Today.
I took about an hour at Lancaster County Motors today to get to know the Sti. I took a ton of pics, and I'll post them later when I can get on my Mac and upload the pics. What a piece of machinery that car is. I was VERY impressed with how everything is geared for performance without compromise. The dealer I work for got one yesterday, but sold it already while I'm on vacation, so I had to go to LCM to check them out. hehe.
Will post pics later. Mike |

Did they let you touch it without a bib? I'm heading to Harry's on Saturday in case you need anything/wanna go. Was that Hatch a 4wd that you saw?

AAhhh Droool, any one want to buy an SVX? First $32,400 takes it.
That is one serious machine. Not to sure about the 82 bass boat black with the blue carpeted interior but, what a sweet car. Hard to tell from the pics , but what model non allseason Bridgstones does that car have on it.?

Anyone seen the sti video - it was floating around I-club - A guy already modified his and took it to the track and ate a vette, cobra, lightning, eclipse, and a couple other performance cars. I'll try to find a direct link but I got it somewhere from nasioc.
Agreed - those tires are evil - what are they? video link: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/dragon2003/sti%20race1.wmv right click - save as for best viewing edit - 35mb video - dialup beware

They are Bridgestone Potenza RE070, and are most definitely NOT allseasons. They are incredibly sticky track oriented sport tires, they just happen to have a tread pattern designed purely for function and not for form. I think the treadwear is like 140.
They are also original equipment on the Japanese market Honda NSX-R track edition. |

Mike,
thanks for the pics...I was good until I got to the one with the $32k price tag .... Is the hood scoop functional (i.e. does it have a flapper valve?) - couldn't tell from the pics....what's up with the rear spoiler? looks like we should hook a tow line to it and go water skiing I'm almost afraid to call my insurance agent and find out how much insurance would be on one of these "beasts" -Bill

The hood scoops on all WRXs, not just the STi, are functional. They have no flapper valves, but they do supply outside air to cool the intercooler. Additionally, the STi has a manual water sprayer for the intercooler.

My Humble Opinion:
Really Nice Mechanicals and Ugly Styling much like the new Z-car. Why don't they gut the old body off and put a nicely styled 2-seater on it that looks like a Miata or an old Bertone Alfa? Than they could charge $40K for it.
