No problem bro, I just posted up what's going to be up for competion, because the STi S202 looks pretty DAMN fast! Oh well, that's why there's this beautiful thing known as "aftermarket products."

But this one is particularly interesting! Subaru added an EVO style hood vent which allows hot air to go out of the engine department. The only thing is that the hood scoop is right after that, so some of that air will definitely make it back in!

Not really sure about that part, but on the other hand WRC Subie has a FMIC, so that shouldn't affect cooling of the compressed air, but definitely shouldn't cool the engine as well as it would be without the first opening.

Mr. AWD

The current Subaru WRC already has that feature (Evo style hood vent)...

I've seen a few "less-than-pleasing " shots of the Evo 8. Especially in silver - which is the color I want to get

This shot is still the best that I've seen.

When looking for a car what would you go for first, the looks or what the car can do? For me I still like the Evo IV and Evo VII.

Seeing is believing.... me thinks we'll have to wait for the final product.

We're still not sure what it'll look like LIVE.

Plus the truth shall be revealed in the first test drive.
Can you visualize the salesperson handing you the keys saying - "Here you go sir. Please drive it as hard as you like!"

UUUUUUUGGHHH!!!!!!!!!

After that, it might not matter what the hell it looks like!!!

"I'll take 2 please!"

I think I'm losing it -

Has anyone noticed that the wings on both the Scubaru and the EVO VII-VIII look almost the same looks to me that they are swapping ideas

I kinda like the STi's rounded smoothness.
If I had the Evo VII, I might probably change the wing. The bend in the sides are a bit unusual, and maybe takes some getting used to.
