that BMW sucks!! How about this car

im a rwd person i like celicas but they like many others are fwd as well  http://www.automotive.com/2005/12/toyota/celica/specifications/index.html 
im a displacement person. a large engine doesnt need to work nearly as hard. however mileage suffers. suffers in small displacement engines working hard also. hmm imagine taking a larger displacement engine doing the turbo/supercharger thing to it along with the exhaust thing would be evil

I am buying a (non-STI) WRX next month.  Blue with 17's.  Should be pretty fun.  I've wanted one forever.

Yeah WRX's are fun as hell but I hate their tranny's. It's just weak and feels too loose. I'm sure the STI's tranny's are a heck of a lot better, but the non-STI are just weak. But they are easy to make it go faster than a STI. My friends got 252 awhp. That's with about I wanna say a little less than 4 grand in mods. It's wicked fast. Have fun Jake

STis have around 300 HP, plus they look better.

Dammit Jake D, get the STi!

I would take the evo over the sti anyday, then immediately tint those clear taillights!

Forcedfed....I think they had a car in the car and dirver or road and track magazine a while back...lotus elise with 500hp.... I WANT ONE!

$300 a month car payment is okay.  $500 a month car payment, not okay.
I may try and score some of the wheels of an STi though, some take off golds BBS's so I can be big pimpin' too.

Yeah 300 HP to the crank but loses more power to the wheels because of the AWD. So only seen STI's with a 240-245 Dyno MAX stock. Plus my friend got it for $25K OTD. STI's are 32K starting. So for $28,500 total spent my friend is faster than the STI.

4 and a half seconds, zero to 60.  With a factory warranty.

Yeah, the STi sucks (same for the Evo).  When your buddy's WRX takes a dump, who is going to pay to fix it with it's voided warranty? 

He would have to pay for it anyway cause his warranties are over anyway. So what's your point. He wasn't going to kill his car right off the bat he waited til the warranties are done of course.

To bad factory warranties don't last forever.

We may or may not have shot a production Evo X here and I may or may not have driven it, but if I did, I would say something like "This is really going to be something special." God I love my job.

eh would be alot easier to state engine as it is.  i see these designations confuzzles the hell outta me  i laugh sometimes when i see jdm this or jdm that. half the vehicles i had seen were never in the japanese market anyway. plus alot of these cars are referred to as imports. when truthfully many of them are made here 

This thread makes me laugh.
