I doubt it's much faster if at all, look at the IX compared to the scooby now, IX's are getting 103-106 consistently in the 1/4 versus 100-103 for the STI.

As well as Best Motoring the stock Evo's outperformed it on many occasion as well as it was very lacking in the lower rpms compared to the regular Sti.

Normally I'd agree, but this one is kind of clean looking, much better than the current US spec setup.

1. its not coming to the US
2. even if it were, that would in no way be a bad thing (awesome sti means even better evo on the way)
3. i think it looks pretty sweet

You know you're right. The one I didn't like was on page #3 but I think it's aftermarket...

The pics of the car on page 1 of the thread have a nice looking spoiler IMHO...

For Steiner: http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/s203/tec...ior/index.html

The one on the 204 sits on non-adjustable legs but I think it has a row of led's on it. I just don't like the chunky legs. Apart from the I think the Subaru badge on the trunk lid looks out of place. But that's just me, including the obvious bias!

In road tests the s204 version only showed a marginal improvment over the regular STi. Small enough IMHO, to make it a driver's race on the road course, as is the case with the MR and the regular evo.

Please don't compare this marketing ploy to the 22b, which was truely a gem.
