I never understood dealers not letting ppl test drive those cars. At Porsche they beg you to test drive their cars. Yet I wasn't able to test drive an STi? Wtf? Or maybe they know if you test drive it you'll not want it anymore.

Theyre pretty quick stock too. They will scoot through the 1/4 in mid 13's.

We looked at a new Sky Redline before buying the Z. Car was fun but seriously lacking on the interior. The car was comparable to the Z stock for stock but the inside as opposed to cost I could not get past. The Z was cheaper and nicer all the way around.

To be honest I drop a base model STI two or three weeks ago it only had like the shortshifter installed I think.

after the test drive I was ready to hand in my Z's keys.

now I still don't know what to get;

STI cuz AWD
or challenger SRT8 cuz POWER and V8 noise but it's RWD :shakes head: plus it has an AT

What else am I going to get a beamer or grandpa mercedes. :roflpuke2: there is literally nothing interesting to me other than murican or something like the ST/evo. plus as if the Z isn't boy racer/ricer material.

not many interesting cars out there after all the emissions/fuel economy bullcrap happened.

atleast I don't want racing stripes combined with 22 inch rims while slammed as much as possible. also sideways hat.

to be more on topic. to this day I still haven't seen a BRZ on the road. the toyotas are plentifull.

I test drove my sti, and some porsches. When I was shopping for my vette, the salesman said I couldn't td without a credit check. He said, "it's not like you can just drive a 911". I said, "funny, I drove two last week, and they insisted that I drive the new boxster s while I was there."

Part of the Toyota/Subaru tie up with the Toybaru Hachi/BRZ was that Toyota were able to build and deliver 10 vehicles for every Subaru badged car that was built - they both come out of the same plant and get a Toyota or Subaru VIN, so it is not surprising that there are few BRZ's around.
