I don’t like those wheels at all. looks like a shitty VW wheel. Aside from that I wanna dip my balls in it. [quote=“TORQDSS,post:160,topic:31541"”] looks awesome but they need to make it less stubby [/quote] Its more like the wrc cars that are winning races. Im interested to see if they are more competitive. ---

I dunno I saw a WRX hatch the other day and it did look better in person than in photos but its not a real good looking car. I wonder if the ride quality will still be harsh like in the current STIs. For 35K+ I would expect more car, not just a balls out racer. ---

I would rather get the NA model than the wrx. The wrx is kind of a wase of money IMO now that the sti is readily available here. ---

[quote=“K Cuv,post:169,topic:31541"”] sti ride isnt really that harsh [/quote] STIs suspensions are about as stiff as your going to see in a stock car off the lot. Not really forgiving if you daily drive the car on crappy roads. Thats the trade off of having a car that can perform in stock form on the track. I just think I would be annoyed by it if I had to drive the car daily and want something different. ---

[quote=“TORQDSS,post:170,topic:31541"”] do you think making it shorter will help it be more competitive or make it less? [/quote] Typically a shorter wheel base is better on tight turns. A longer wheel base will make for a better(smoother) ride. ---
