Subaru's STI Going Down Hill?

@logik23

You tried it on the track, exactly. Yes it’s faster on the track, but no clutch pedal = no fun on the street, and I will never ever change my mind on that.

By the way, i know it’s a dual clutch automated manual, I know all about these transmission, but to me, it will always be 2 pedals = automatic.

Also, I find they have it backwards, the “faster on the track” transmission is on the model with leather, sunroof, navi and 10 speaker sound system. lol So obviously, it’s a car aimed at street drivers, now everyone knows that these transmissions don’t work well on the street because the computer needs to switch the manual gears for you and it can’t do it smoothly.

I drove both the GSR and MR on and off the track.

The normal mode actually shifts like its an auto so its smooth as butter making it ideal for traffic. Swtich it to S-Sport and thats when you get ultra quick shifts with rev matching. The MR comes with all the options because Mistu is banking that it will be for the commuter whereas the GSR will see more track time and be mod friendly.

The Lancer Ralliart will also come with the twin clutch or the 5spd which should be a huge hit since its got the same engine as the evo just down 50 or so hp but Its priced way less.

Thanks JAMMIN1911 for bringing that up about the evo and how it was photoshoped haha… I USED to be a huge mitsu fan and love the evo 8 and 9 but this whole evo X is gay! its not even powered by the 4g63 anymore… Some all new pos. and apparently not as responsive to mods as the 4g63 is… that pic up there is so redone with the front mount and even the seats lol… The actual evo x seats look like dark vader. lol

as far as the new STi goes… Its a pile and looks like a focus for sure… Reciently Im not seeing Any cars that are rolling off the assembly that I like…

all the cars are separating the driver from truly driving… either like the evo By not even offering a TRUE 6 speed MANUAL… Or making a STi look like a grocery getter…

Dude you havent driven the cars yet you are convinced these new models are separating driver from the car? Trust me they are just as fun as the old cars, if not funner and you definitely feel connected.

Ofcourse they retired the 4G63, the damn thing was a dinosaur! It wasnt even close to passing todays emission standards and the new 4B11 engine is pretty awesome actually and will be mod friendly. Who told you it wasnt?

Yes its true these cars are built for more of a mainstream buyer but thats because the enthusiast market is tapped out. If you had a product that you wanted to make money on wouldnt you want it to grow? You also have to realize times are changing, emissions are stricter, safety is crucial (The new Evo has 8 air bags!!), the way cars are built is ever evolving. Because of this the cars we are used to seeing arent going to be around. If they ever put out a new Silvia you think it will even resemble what an old silvia drives like? Never.

In two years everyone will be dogging how ugly the new designs are and the current designs will be ‘cool’ and ‘hip’. Remember what every subie owner and forum said about the 07 STI, it looks like an Alfa! its ugly!..now its the benchmark for the STI style.
