Sweet and a little nasty. She likes it. And the butt dyno says its not as fast as my IX. Although, I wanted a wicked white Evo and got a silver one.. so I'm a little jealous!

She's never driven my Evo.. LOL (really). But she thinks my Evo is too jerky (boost hits harder). So in that respect she likes the suby quite a bit and even though she said she didnt want a white car she really likes the asthetics of the Sti.. I'm know the pink badging and gold wheels appeal to her and she likes the blue interior. It is pretty feminine. I actually went to buy a pewter WRX and after I saw and drove this Sti I knew it was the one so I brought it home and suprised her. Anyhow she's thrilled with it and I think it's quite a bit easier to drive than the Evo (clutch is alot friendlier).

LOL... yea my friends are giving me some **** about having both an Evo and a Sti but I actually saved some money on payments and she had a 05 Dodge Magnum RT that got 12 mpg in town so it should be a good investment .. and I like it too. Its got cruise control... lol. Road trip car. As far as the rims go.. I think they are 17s (forged BBS just like my Evo).

white / gold wheels is the best color combo for the STi... IMO wingless would be the way to go here... nice whip

Thought you said you bought you car a new girl. That would have been interesting.

Anyway, very nice. I'm sure she'll like it. They tend to get a littel quicker in time. It's the strange ecu they have, really.

Yea, I read an article about training the ECU for max HP in about 5 minutes.. but we dont have a boost gauge in it so I'm not sure how easy it will be to do it. I'll just get some vacuum line and run it through the outside of the hood to train the ECU.
