Funny encounter with an STI!!!

I think what makes the STI sedan cool is form following function . . . quad exhaust on a 4 cylinder car

look at the muscular sexyness below.....



i dont know how to spell sexyness.
I encountered that dilemma, so had to get both!
With more torque and AWD of the STi, I use it almost daily and the Z doesn't get out of my garage more than once a week. But when I do drive the Z, it's great to enjoy the qualities of a true sports car.
The STi has a sub-par interior, sucky steering, wimpy clutch feel, and miscellaneous design flaws.

I'd say the two cars you have represent the best Japan has to offer, but in two different forms. Subaru's high-performance Utility and Nissan's gorgeous design and powerful drive-train.

I have to agree, I was never a fan of the new body style in 08. But Subarus were never titled as a "pretty car". I always referred to mine as a 400whp shopping cart when I had the wing on lOl. Usually Subaru only made minor changes to the Impreza every 2 years but I guess in 2008 they said screw it & started from scratch.

04-05 "Peanut"
06-07 "Hawkeye"
08 - present ????

As we were on the highway during rush hour, I noticed a car weaving through traffic behind me. Turns out it was an STI, and he approached us hoping for a race. He kept revving his engine and speeding up little by little hoping that I'd follow suit, but several times I told him no. His persistence, and my patience, got him a nice surprise, though... After one last time of revving his engine, red and blue lights began to flash right behind him, and sirens became audible! I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the drive! Drive with due regard for others, guys. It could save you a ticket; especially during rush hour!


I'm not really understanding why he got pulled over for revving his engine. I didn't know that was against the law. The guy may have been a douche but it sounds like the cop was an even bigger douche

Rev his engine might be fine. But rev his engine against a Z is totally breaking the law!

Probably got caught speeding when he was trying to catch up to the Z.

Naw. It was because he was jacking off to the Z in public.
