Deepthroat! :devil:

Is deepthroat a new dealer option, instead of the usual anal intrusion?:D

It's a port installed option. It gets stuck in as soon as you get off the boat! :eek:

Perfect timing. I should be ready to add another Suby to the stable by then. :)

What's an STi?

so when is the 'STI' going to come over turbo'd... I figure we'd get an N/A version to test the waters...

I figure we'd get an N/A version to test the waters...

um, we did. it was the GC8 RS. that was a test market for the WRX. the WRX has been well recieved and DSM might bring the EVO, so we might get the STi. there has never been a N/A STi, nor will there be.

10th Warrior - I think m750 was kidding...

i think the guess is totally wrong, i meant it is wrong to guess anything now.....

the marketing and advertising expense of STi will almost all be contributed by the profit from selling WRX right now. Does honda really make money from selling just several thousand of Type-R? NO! they really make money from selling regular type of Integra!
if the WRX is not selling good, nobody will see STi in states....

so glen you gonna start www.STI-USA.com? or somthing simmilar (in referance to new-impreza.com)

edit - already taken but point made

It will be http://www.new-impreza.com/sti when I get around to it. Been busy with work, wrecking cars :(, kids, trips, etc.

Super Turbo impreza

They don't capitalize impreza b/c it's not as important as the Super Turbo system under the hood. We won't get the 'real' J-spec version that has like 350 hp though. We also won't get the vvtic-L syetem which allows the valves to lift really highly for more hp...that's why we have such wide fenders...so the valves could go out farther. I think that we will get the under-hood radiator though, and maybe the red intake manifold. The red manifold is like a honda, that's why its so good...and red. I heard that the 6-speed tranny could handle like 900hp; mad clutch dumping power. Also, the AWD system and the STi aerodynamics are so good too, that if you wanted to drive up a building or on the ceiling of a tunnel, you could. Mad downforce. I do know that we WILL get 20" chromegold rims too...they need to be that big b/c of the 8-pot brembo brakes.

I really hope noobody thought this was real...I just felt like being funny.:)

wait, so that's what the fender flares are for? :D

Hi Glenn, I don't see you here as often as before since the WRX arrived. Still having a lot of fun with the car eh? :)

Will there be an "STi Non-Technical" forum? :D

No. We don't want owners of the "regular" WRX feeling left out.

You know, if it weren't for all of us "regular" WRX owners contacting SOA and all the car magazines and Oprah, there never would have been an STi...

Oh, never mind.

and if it wasn't for all us GC8 RS owners, there wouldn't be a WRX here... So what's your point?

Humor—and how ridiculous most of the posts on topics such as these really are.

word ;)

Elitism...:rolleyes:

Anymore after that? I don't envision myself having enough money for an STi in 2003, but maybe a yr or 2 later - then I can have the STi as the daily driver and mod the RS to hell :lol:

No, 2003 is the ONLY year they'll be bringing them in, sorry, and I'm buying 5 of them. One to set up for auto-x, one to set up for Rally, one for Tarmac, one for my wife and one for me as a daily driver. That means there'll only be 695 left. Hehehe.

Spa2k...

Then why have a news and RUMORS forum? Don't critisize... :)

I almost consider this forum as another 'Off Topic' forum. It's great to theorize what's gonna happen and have someone reply... "nuh-unngh, no it ain't."

Dude, I'm tellin ya... my wife's sisters boyfriend's mother has a friend that knows someone that works at a subaru dealership and he said that the STi WILL be here.

Get the point? It's ALL rumor until SOA releases specs on the US Model. It's hunting season on the STi. ;)

Let's see, what else can I say about the STi... oh yeah.... it'll go THAT way (points down the road) Real fast!

That's the same way I got my information.;)

your a moron.. everyone knows that yellow is color to get for performance.. red only give you like 2hp..

amatuer..

Hey Glenn, as far as your source...does S.T. mean anything? :D
I got similar info last night:
Limited production: Less than than 1000
Release: Early 2003
Priced competitivly with Corvettes, Porsche Boxter's, etc.

That, I disagree with. :D I will go way out on a limb here and say 30K give or take 2K. Call me nuts, call me stupid, but there are very good reasons I say this. :)

Now I am talking MSRP here, please understand that with limited production some dealers may mark that up into Boxster and Vette catagory... :( ;)

All STi, All The Time

;) More like give, not take 5K

$34,995 - M.S.R.P Believe it! :devil:

10K+ over a base WRX??? Wow! I'm not sure...


Ed

Yeah, and $3000+ for 4 rims WITHOUT tires and $32,000 for a Legacy. Who could imagine that?

IF the STi is coming and IF the price is that high, then it's in SOA's best interest to limit production. The reason the WRX sold so well is the price. In the 25k price range the WRX is by far the best car for the money. But in the 35k price range, there are so many other options.

-Matt

p.s. gotta love this forum, it's a post whores paradise. In most any other forum, your bound to have someone point out your whoring if you reply with nonsense.

The stuff I got from SOA this week said 1700 to be built.

Please check out This Thread (http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110172) Looking to prove a point to a friend.... :)

Thanks,

Seeing this shore in what year, and what range? If it is more than 32 large, as stated, there are more options.

Lovejoy

if they price it at $35,000, then they better not waste their time bringing over more than 1500 of them or whatever.

the Evo 7 will be here, and well under $30k, with numbers better than the WRX, and par with the STi. Then there's also two other hot Japanese cars coming, the RX-8 and the Z. I don't know prices for the Z, but I know the RX-8 will be under $30k, and it'll outperform the WRX, and also be on par with the EVO and STi...though it kind of is a different type of sports car, it's still a sports car.

I really fail to grasp why subaru would go from selling a WRX w/ 17in. wheels for $28k to selling an STi for $30k. I have to believe it will be at least $35k.

Good point!
However I'm still hoping for $32K and new headlights.

I am betting $35k. They will have no problem selling 700 or 1700 at that price.

Glenn

How do you know the RX-8 will be under 30K?

If it wasn't for all the 1.8L owners around, none of you would have a fast car, some of us still don't:p :p :p

It'll have to be close to $35k based on the number they plan to bring over. Getting a new powertrain certified for the US costs big bucks, and if those bucks are only spread out over 1000 cars it's going to bring the price up. Plus, I think they could sell 1000-1500 at $35k, so why not?

The number of WRX's sitting on dealer lots these days is disturbing though. The fact is, the WRX only appeals to a limited number of people, and those people already have one now. Hate to be negative, but I wouldn't be surprised if the WRX is gone from the states in 5 years :(. Seems to happen to the AWD turbo cars in this country, unfortunately. The one glimmer of hope is that it has gotten more good press than any 'cheap' performance car in recent memory; even Consumer Reports loves it! Perhaps that will keep the flame burning. . .

about the RX-8...two places.

Maxim reports $25k, which I know not to trust them...but it would be nice.

I've also been frequenting an RX-7 board, and word is that there's going to be a price cap of $30k. maybe with full options it will break that, but base for the RX-8 more than likely will not break 30 (again, this is hearsay from another board)
