SixSpeeder's WRX: Tales of Boredom in a Fast Car

[SixSpeeder]

Who dis?

He might have spent more on vehicles in the past year or two than anyone here, depending on how you count things.

Major reason why I love my STI

You, me, Dustin, and maybe Amir's STI will come in eventually

4 WRX/STIs. This place is turning into NASIOC.

[SixSpeeder]

Oh he wasn't talking about the WRX, breh.

WRX has no engine sound with the stock exhaust.

STI will make your ears bleed at 1500 RPM and burbles like hell. Tons of turbo noise too. It's

Abarth is even better than STI in that regard. Would like to test out an Abarth.

The WRX has a good amount of turbo spool, and it pushes you back in the seat hard at 3000 rpm but then the power falls off dramatically around 5000 rpm. Yep, the exhaust is way too quiet, it can only be heard with the radio off, and they sound super ricey with aftermarket exhaust systems.

I would have picked up an STI if I had found a good deal when I was shopping around, but the dealers were marking them up way too high and then I found my loaded WRX and really liked it during the test drive. The WRX is better for street driving with the twin scroll turbro spooling up super quickly, but I find myself regretting not waiting for the right deal on an STI, especially when it snows.

You should go test one, they're a blast and at $12,000 used, the dealers aren't exactly guarding them under lock and key.

I'll have to keep an eye on Princeton Mini. If they get an Abarth I'll meet Z for lunch and braps.

Been there, done that back in '05. Although, driving a BRZ is on the list of things to do.

[dubshow]

Oh wow you like the abarth more?

Sell for a FiST?

this is relevant to my interest.

please go read my placcon 2 thread.

[dubshow]

But if the 4C is as shitty as the Elise then it's off the list. Reports are that it's better as a car than the Elise was but maybe not much better.

The Elise was the shittiest car I've ever driven. Fun when you're having fun in it. Garbage otherwise.

race cars make terrible street cars.

my cousin has a super mint 14k mile tennis ball green one with track options. Its lols but he drives it around in 3rd to stay at 4k rpm, where is starts to have power. Its hilarious to drive and miserable to ride in.

Pretty fun to drive hard. Kinda stupid to drive anything but hard. Horrible to be a passenger in. Worst car evar as passenger.

I'm pretty sure we have one coming in. I'm curious.

Super
Drive it in4braps

Time for new C7 Grand Sport.

I've been eyeing Wranglers.

tell this to dubshow, he was looking at abarfs


welcome back hombre.

The handling is really good, and the exhaust note is hilarious. And the price can't be beat. It's fun that you can go WOT everywhere without breaking the law, and the wailing exhaust note and pops makes you want to. I wish more engineers of performance cars put some effort into the exhaust system, becuase it adds a lot to a car.

This is why the grom is fun. BTW, i bought a grom. You still have yours?

FIFY

I so would new Miata if I had a second vehicle for meh dog. And if it cost $10k less, there's that issue also..

sounds liek you need an FRS. The bottom has fallen out on them

I haven't driven Abarf's a ton, but they are good for the $.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

And I don't think there's a production car with a better exhaust note.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Buy-curious?

Nah, I just want to drive one. Having sat in one, I can't deal with the seating position.

It's a deal-breaker for me personally.

FTFY.

It felt.... unique.... at the auto show. Left me curious for sure. Hey Z, want to be curious together?

[MexicanYarisTK]

oh hai! could've gotten an STI then. But on the bright side, you can trade that car in without placprofit.

There's nothing good about not having placprofit.

I bet if someone trades in a recent subaru at your dealership, you would be ughhh not again lol
