i read an article in some mustang magazine where they compared the STI against the 03 Cobra. They had some suprisingly nice things to say about the STI. ---

hotrod never pissed anyone off they’ve always been about what’s fast and makes power…you’re thinking of car craft that picks on anything other than a v-8 on a monthly basis. i for one like unbiased opinions especially when i’m reading about someones 157hp 3xx ci v-8 grocery getter and then talking smack on people who have 1k hp 4cyl… i for one don’t care what you have who made it or how long you’ve had it as long as: 1. you do the work instead of paying someone else \* 2. you dont’ talk shit on my friends rides 3. you have enough respect for your own vehicle. - (only applies to shittalkers if you dont’ talk shit then i don’t care who built it or if you bought it fast) besides editors of hotrod \> all sport compact/import/fhag editors. ---

They never say that imports can’t be and aren’t fast. Look, i respect speed, imports just aren’t my style and i like buying a mag that is about that. Actually i’m actaully sick of car craft too because i’m sick of mustang and chevy nova build ups. I’m a B.O.P. / mopar fan, they aren’t your run of the mill mustang with flowmasters and not everything has to have an SBC. ---

well my point was that hot rod was never a die hard domestic magazine they’ve always showcased brittish roadsters and the like…car craft was always the one who pissed on anything without a v8 ---
