so… how much will these be?? if its anything over 1000$ more then the stock one… I say they are a big waste…

I would assume they are going for around 15-20k over stock… in which you get paint, a shift knob, some interior upgrades, and badging… woo sign me up

:rolljerk: … oh… and 65 hp… I am overwhelmed with complacency.

If you blink really fast that paint scheme will makes them look a bit like vipers.

It is still only slightly more power than stock. You could easily buy a new STi and hit that power level for far less money, and not have those stupid racing stripes. You are paying for the easy street name and some basic mods, oh and the pimp dash monitorz!

I think its a nice car, but I’m not a big fan of the wheels or racing strips, and its probably priced much higher than it should be

I’ve checked out three of eight in existence these in person. Sticker is $52k with a limited warranty. They are decently put together and not something a do it yourself enthusiast is going to want, but for a collector or a rare car person it is kinda neat. One was at the Crystal Cove car show two weeks ago and got the attention of the Ferrari, Lambo and Porsche regulars. An owner modded STi wouldn’t likely have the same effect.

Not for me, but a step in the right direction for manufacturer backed limited edition models in the US. Maybe other brands will follow and you can see limited edition EVOs and such.

I can see the convesation between the Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche owners and the Racing Stripes Sti owner, now.

Lambo Owner: “Isn’t this just a stupid STI?”

Ferrari Owner: “My brake job costs more then one of those”

_Snide rich people laughter_

Racing Stripes STI: “Well it’s like an STI, but more expensive, almost twice as much”

Porsche Owner: " So it’s twice as much for what? The paint job and nick nacks in the dash…?"

R/S STI : “Yea, it’s kinda like a collectors edition, but not really”

Ferrari Owner: “cool… kind of”

Lambo Owner: “I have to walk over that way now.”
