The RX-8 is Gone, New Blue Beast
So two weeks ago I sold the RX-8 (the guy might be on here) and last Thursday I picked up this car. I 'broke it in' by taking it to PA and back this weekend. Subaru recommends no break in period of on this car.

No, not leaving yet. I'll come to some of your meets still. I can be the support wagon when the RX-8's break down

I would have come out last Thursday if I had known. I was picking up my car right down the street

No, just the WRX. Only 265HP and 244lb-ft I do weigh 168lbs less though.

Wish I coulda bought an STI, but this is still fun

No no, it is 168lbs lighter then the WRX STI. The WRX is about 150-200 pounds heavier depending on trims
