lol the STi completely kicked its ass...44/46 catagories. The fact that the Shelby only won 1/24th of things tested is so pathetic

yes! i agree 100%, sti all the way!
i work at a subie dealer and we wonder sometimes how other car sales man can sell the crap on their lots.
we gots
impreza wrx - sti
legacy gt - 3.0r
outback xt
forester sports xt - basically sti forester
tribeca - real nice suv (best center console ever)
i was actually talking about that to a friend.. I mean I know how my dad sells cars.. he is over at hayes.. (well he runs more **** then selling cars)
But subys line-up is great

and to the comment of how do the other guys sell the crap on their lots? man, subarus might be nice functional cars, but damn they sure are fugly! hell the new sti reminds me of the civic si aka the oddesy. c'mon man!
i own a ugly carOriginally Posted by collins
.......everyone giving me *2 thumbs up* must be stupid. It's a love a and hate affair when it comes to most of the cars. Subaru puts futionallity before looks like most (american) automakers.... Ford putting fake scoops on the mustang gt's to make it look pretty, same applies to Pointiac when they went hood scoop crazy on almost all the cars.
wow... sti butt raped mr. mustang. i always knew sti's were bad ass but now that EDMUNDS says they're bad ass i really have peace of mind haha
they compared cars in that price range.. K THANKS BAI/Originally Posted by collins
Come on this is the South! I'm sure there will be more Mustang S-GT owners than 08 STI's.
The interior on the new STi looks better than the last gen. I just don't like the exterior, however I drive an SRT4 so.....
hmm nice video . go sti's
I said it on wrxatlanta. I'll say it here. I'd still take the shelby.
But also like I said on wrxatl, they're comparing apples to blowjobs.
i gotta get me a SVX and get in the subie game

It's funny they can't put it against a real car. Instead they make a video of them running a tank on wheels that has the same power and RWD... BTW when did Ford put the STI logo on the back of the focus
This is interesting:

what do u expect the mustang is heavy ass hell i pretty sure if u do a really good weight reduction and modify the brakes it would be ok![]()
This was like putting a cheetah vs. a lion to race, the lion is just to fat to be as quick as the cheetah.
Nice video.
Watch the video, again. Pay close attention to the time, from 1:25-1:28. It clearly says, Shelby GT.Originally Posted by TRYMY4.0
Don't get butt hurt about it.Originally Posted by SicStang03
I think what they were doing, is comparing the prices between both, they are both under 40k. All they were saying is to not waste your money on a rustang and to go with the STi.Originally Posted by SicStang03
It's not interesting at all. It doesn't prove that a Mustang could hang with an STi, it shows that a nismo edition 350z can.Originally Posted by SicStang03
Yeah I know, but you said "where does it say, shelby?" So I just wanted to show you.Originally Posted by TRYMY4.0

You can't say "Mustang" because there are like a BRAZILIAN different models...
Nice try, but you failed to prove a point. LOL but I see what you mean, in a way. lol Just missing with you.
i bet subaru paid for the shooting of this video to get people to get one of their cars. lolz
LOL! Bobbing for apples.Originally Posted by DeweyWRX
So really your a dumbass if you buy a stang. It only won 2 of 46 test WTF!!!!!! That is lame as hell.![]()
That was not a Shelby Cobra and the Gt in the video with the CS/Shelby package (extra plastic) was not built for cornering performance to begin with so yeah what an awesome comparison. Woo HooOriginally Posted by dubs04sti
The Civic ain't that ugly. I couldn't figure out if it reminded me of a Ford Aspire on steroids, a badass Corrola or a Mazda3 customized with all the extra bulges. The front fenders are just stupid looking. I really like the last few years and was planning on getting one soon but it will be a used one and not one of the Fugly azz new ones out now.Originally Posted by collins
Not IMO Sir... I think your car looks badazz!!! The new ones however look like chit!Originally Posted by UpSideDownDesi
Isn't that how it always works? I have dealt with the media several times in the past and it is amazing how things are worked around and how misleading news/articles can be.Originally Posted by Chink5
Sad but true.
How old are you? It all depends on what you buy the car for and what you like. So you drive a what? It doesn't matter what you drive it will not suit everyone elses needs but that won't make you a dumbazz will it? Or will it?Originally Posted by FoolsDrifFWD
Buying a car to fit your needs doesn't make anyone a dumbazz. I love the past few year models of the WRX and will probably have one very soon but the new ones are about as Ugly as I have seen with al the extra bulging out like it is some exotic rice. And they compared it to a stock Mustang Gt that cost 26k with some extra plastic which is called the CS/Shelby package to make it over 30k to be close in comparison in price. What a joke. Anyone with any education in the auto industry regardless of which car they prefer can tell that the price comparison was a setup from the get go.
That is the most pathetic comparison I have ever seen to be honest.
Worse comparison I have ever seen... They took a 25-26k Mustang added the CS plastic and wheel package to boost it over 30k. I would bet money that Suby paid for that testing...Originally Posted by TRYMY4.0
I would like to see it compared to a real Shelby Gt that has a 41k sticker.
I couldn't afford to lose that much on the older ones resale value... They plummit to hell very quickly. No offense but they fall about as bad as the Neons in the resale department.
Subaru : Impreza WRX 2002 99,704 11 $8,600.00
Subaru : Impreza WE FINANCE!! 2003 73,672 Buy It Now or Best Offer $13,388.00
Subaru : Impreza WRX 2004 24,249 -
Buy It Now $14,500.00
$16,900.00
And the 2004 were were 27k new??? Holy chit! Is it true that the 2006 WRX cost in the 35-37k range with the Evo? So how much is the 2008 going to be? Probably close to the Shelby Cobra instead of the Gt since you can get a 2008 Mustang Gt for 26k still with power options? It isn't an argument over ignorance but yet preference so there is never going to be a winner to any opinionated argument anyway. It will go on forever since there is no right or wrong involved. However the fact remains for pricing and comparisons they did a really sad job.
Here is something I found... Base price starts @ 35K?
Detailed 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Information
Subaru Impreza WRX STi Base w/VDC 4dr All-wheel Drive Hatchback $34,995
305-hp, 2.5-liter H-4 6-speed manual w/OD
but it was a price range comparison ...

yes i knew that ofcourse....Originally Posted by BUGMAN
this was a price comparison test...
the resale value of our cars are really good actually.. and 06wrx didnt cost 27k i had a couple friends walk out the door with load ones for 23-25k..
STi's that wont happen. 32-35K for one.. anyyear brand new. Look at any evo resale vs. wrx/sti resale and its a riot the difference..
