Theres always about 6 STi's that show up to our autocrosses and some don't use the spoiler, they look odd. My personal favorite is the 2000 RS. Limited slip diff and no turbo lag

the older 2.5RS is a nice looking car but, no turbo no care

What good is a lack of trubo lag going to do for you if you're significantly slower than the turbo charged car. I suppose in AutoX on a tight course that would be an advantage, but otherwise I don't see why it's better.

Best of both worlds?

....yyyyeeeeaaaaahhhh. There's a sh*t-ton you can do to subies; but like the civic world, there's only so much you can do to the outside while keeping the lines clean.

For the record, stock STis have very little turbo lag. After 2,500rpm, it's all freakin' over for whatever car is running the subie though.

I'm still determined to get an STi (note: different than an STI) in the next year or two. Prices can only go down and insurance is no big deal

Can't start out in Rally America with turbo and AWD. You have to go either non-turbo or 2wd

MMM SUBIES! i dont like the old 2 door rs models though. To me a subie should either be a full blown wagon (impreza, outback, legacy wagon, etc.) or a sedan (impreza, legacy, etc.). Do they even make coupe cars anymore? I dont think they do right?

But anyway i agree with you Reapper. The body lines are hella sexy already and dont need anything really to "help" it look better. U cant fix what isn't broken! The only STi's that ever really might need some help are the older like 96-99 models but even those look prety nice Thats what i really want

I like the way you think

And no, there are no coupes anymore, until the Toyobaru or Suuuyota, wtfever they're calling it comes out. IIRC there will be AWD and RWD versions with at least two powertrain choices.

Well, right now, there's two '05-ish foresters, an '01-ish forester, a late 90's forester, a late '90's outback, and a 2010 outback in the shop (the forester has been subaru's best-selling car for a while). I'm seeing a whole lot of 5-doors right now. But yeah, subaru hasn't made a coupe in quite some time.

04-05's in Aspen White have my heart. I wish I'd had more time when I was shopping for my wagon, because I REALLY wanted AW. But, I love my wagon no matter what color it is, will just shoot for AW on my next Subaru.

More pRonz...

Oh, god. I LOVE 4th gen legacy GTs... I just wish the hood scoop was a little more aggressive on them.

Personally, I love Antarctic Blue. I mean, you think of subaru and more often than not the first thing that comes to mind is an Antarctic Blue STi.
