pic of my 8 and my friends' wrx.

after taking these pics we hit the freeway at 100mph+. Both cars are pretty dead even when it comes to pull at those speeds. (dry pavement)

I did find some backroads still covered in snow and drifted around at low speeds with the traction control off. Snow tires make a huge difference and the car feels very stable with them on. I regained control immediately when I purposely threw the tail out. This is the first time I drove the 8 in the snow, before it i had an a4 quattro. This car with winters on feels pretty damn nimble over ice and snow.

 

Jersey got hit with a little snow too, i'm still waiting to take my 8 out later tonight.

 

Good to hear the RX8 is doable in the snow, I just don't get why anybody would buy the 06 wrx over the 06 EVO... way better looking and better IMO.

 

maybe because it's not the Sti, and was $5000 less than an Evo, genius.

 

Ouch, you've been told by Mugatu!

 

as ugly as it is it should be $10000 less braniac.

 

WOW good one!

 

ahhahah i love it. FIGHT!!

 

here are some reasons (as a mitsubishi owner)

- THEIR (Mistu) SERVICE IS SUB-PAR!!! The dealer I bought my Galant from in 01 closed and no other dealer would accept the dealer extras i got (oil changes, tire rotations) Then I had an issue with my radio where I need the programming code. Of course I couldnt find it. Called Mitsu they said go your dealer where you got the car they will give it to you free. My dealer didnt exist! so my ONLY option as per mitsubishi was to pay another dealer to find my code! It would cheaper to get an aftermarket stereo installed!

- Mitsu Motors has been struggling financially and loosing backing from some of their big "partners" not a good sign if you plan to buy a car.

- If you autox there is a history that Mitus has been voiding the warranty of EVOs by searching the SCCA autox results.

- Subaru has been doing great over the past years and are putting alot of money into the WRX. Bang for the buck its hard to top the WRX.

- looks are objective... many say that spoiler of the EVO is hideous others love it.

- FINALLY , EVO or Legacy GT...... you pick.... if you havnt driven the Legacy you dont even know what your missing. If you are going to pay for the EVO u might be better off checking out the Legacy GT, it will blow you away.

there are just a few... to add to mugatus price factor.

Who hasn't!

 

I actually got a compliment from him once, I couldnt believe it

 

I can't recall a time when he has told me off. Then again, I don't make a habit of saying stupid ****, well, not blatantly stupid.

 

And I don't get why anyone would live in Idaho, life is full of mysteries...

 

*back on track*

look at all that snow on the 8...

 

the grey on the 8 looks a bit... purple compared to the wrx, id have to say i like the grey on the wrx better than the grey on the 8

 

That WRX looks butt ugly next to an 8.

 

those pix look awesome.. the WRX gray looks very flat to me. doesnt seem to have a pearl in it.
