lol..as you respond back. Oh the irony kills me. It takes 2 to tango and you just took the rose out of my mouth

Just face it bro..my claims really werent that over-stated or biased, especially when pretty much everyone is agreeing with me, even your best bud

The STi just isnt as stable at speed and does exhibit a fair amount of body roll, just deal with it mang, its not the end of the world

lol...*kiss*

I still got mad love for the STi..ive said it plenty of times its a great car. I simply prefer the evo for what I want out of a car. It gets it done with ease, which is very attractive IMO

Of course I responded back. You are talking ish directly to me. Just because his opinion isn't in line with mine doesn't make it biased. The way you state your opinion, makes it seem biased to me. Get over it. Yeah the Sti isn't stable at speed and I will just get over it.

The one thing that I did find surprising was that almost all of the GST staff came in this thread to prove me wrong about Sean's numbers, when blingus knows full well what number Sean told me and that I have never seen the dyno sheets. Why they would do that is beyond me. That is what get's to me, not your dribble. And I could care less what your opinion is of the STi. I see it's worth everytime I see it win a rally event.

The X may not offer a manual tranny, its a hideous beast, aluminum block, open-deck, etc

Get the IX, you can get one well below MSRP and you wont see any first-run issues that may arise with the X. Not to mention the after market support will be quite limited
I'd just have to go ahead and agree with those statements.

Unless you like to rebuild engines and we can help you with that!

We didnt come in here to prove you wrong, we just wanted to clear up the numbers on that car.

It might have made 400WHP on a dynapak but it never went on a dynapak.

Sorry if you feel like we were trying to prove you wrong, we were merely stating the facts.

I don't know if the paddle shifter will be all bad, but the aluminum open deck block is a big downgrade. I think the IX is going to be the pinnacle of the Evo series. Sad to see it go that route. Maybe Suby can step up to take back some respect with their latest STI iteration.

Well subaru did good with the 07s with the larger turbo, revised gear, etc

However, that hatch-crap thing in the concept photos is hideous as well. Perhaps they are going after the euro market ?

No worries, it's just the "internets". I need to log off for a while and stop taking stuff so seriously.....
