NO problem.

your local Mitsubishi dealership owes me a referral fee.

The funny thing is I liked idea of the mostly RWD bias of Subarus (I'm an FR fanatic) but even with that they still managed to screw the thing up and give you a horrendously clunky ride with nothing but understeer .

When they reviewed the STi on Top Gear they remarked how at the test track they had never heard that much tire noise out of any car they tested.

Haha maybe if X's weren't so over priced here in PA i'd give it to ya!

The BRZ and FR's are still a work in progress i'm waiting to see what they have in store for the next model maybe actually not make it a dog with lead shoes.

And trust me i know all abouttire noise with mine right now. Speaking of which do any of the mitsubishi's have a 5x100 pattern? Trying to unload my wheels

Thing is for snow. Subaru's ability to lock the diff into a 90front/10rear is what you want in slippery conditions.

I used to love driving around with oil bottles in the trunk. Think I would have grown tired of this with the RX-7 I had back in the day...

Not to pick on you specifically but Subarus at best can only manage a 50/50 torque split when locked. The DCCD only allows for an even 50/50 split from 35/65 in the 2004 models to 41/59 in the 2006+ models.

The only thing that I can see that Subaru COULD be better is the fact that you can freeze whatever lockup ratio you want and not worry about the computer readjusting on you depending on conditions.

On a rally test (gravel) the Evo was fast but drivers were more apprehensive about the car correcting and sometimes overcorrecting itself due to the change in torque split while the STi felt in a way more stable and could be coaxed along difficult sweepers using left foot braking.
