I've crossed into the darkside..................... kinda

Hey guys, just got this beautiful STi last night from grand prix subaru in hicksville. its a 2007 WRX STi. My girl got it cuz she had a 06 g35X but it was a lease and her new job is 100 miles roundtrip from our home so she needed to OWN something instead so she could put a ton of miles on it. I drove a few times and I must say it is a very nice car, handles great, brakes great, rides great. Shifts so smooth too. Not as fast as the evo but after a few mods it should be pretty nice.













Of course the evo lives in the garage with the bike though

Congrats! It is nice having the extra displacement for around town. Have to warn ya though, it's a thirsty car! Good excuse to go to a big turbo as they get better hwy mileage

nice STi...I'm not sure about the smooth shifting as I have never driven the 06-07 models...but when I drove the 05 STi compared to my SE...man it felt like crap.

I like white or black for the STi, any other color and its just not as good looking...maybe if they made them in Graphite Grey

The 07's have shown to make some good power with minor bolt-ons, keep us updated on the progress.

Definatly a chick car though...

No Top Speed has shown good power with minor bolt ons, still waiting on other shops to tune STIs and make the same numbers?

Best color for the Subi is white. I think they just look good. Still hate the new headlights though.

New Gixxer huh? 750 or 1000?
