The sti looks ok but it will never turn heads, people will never stop you to ask what it is. No offense to sti owners. It's not a bad looking sedan.

That probably depends on where you are. The wrx actually gets a ton of attention, even in silver. A lot more than I'd like to be honest.

Of course, part of that just comes from the fact that you can't buy one.

I guess this state has a lot of wrx so the sti blends in. But take off the spoiler and only an enthusiast would know it's a sti.

looks is subjective. what makes your opinion so much better than others. grow up

I'm not 40 either. Also, what makes you think you're more of an enthusiast than anyone else here? Anyhow, function over form is what I follow.

I think the wing is awesome.

I also would make my STi obnoxiously loud, though.

So

So

I do like that aftermarket exhaust note that's very characteristic of a WRX or STi. Wonder if it's loud inside the cabin.

Depends how loud you go with your exhaust.

The sound is amazing. Gotta love a flat four with unequal length headers.

Technically, the wing is functional.

It's still too over the top for me, but it's in NO WAY as bad as old Sti wing. With the new styling, it almost fits.

I've been happy with Invidia for both my vehicles so far, so I would consider that if I had a WRX.

I might get a scooby for my next DD. Problem is, I like to buy new and they are hella-tough to nail down new these days.

If you decide to get one, I can put you in touch with the guy I bought mine from. He did a no-BS, $500 under invoice deal with snow on the ground while it was the only wrx within 60 miles.

my sincerest apologies if I offended anyone with my over-opinionated reply. I am not trolling, I just love the 2011 Sti with a passion. whoever said that this car will never turn heads and that is it "ok" looking is WRONG. the wing is a little outrageous but it has a purpose and I actually think it looks great on the car. maybe a tad boy racerish but I'm 21 years old it's right up my alley. To the OP, the reason I commented on this thread is because I have also been looking into trading the Z in for a 2011 Sti sedan in pearl white. I absolutely love everything about the car, the only thing left is to test drive one. As soon as I do so I'll chime in on performance compared to the 370z. Thanks for understanding fellow 370z owners, and once again my apologies for my previous comment.

I'm not looking to trade in my Z for one. I'm looking to trade my DD for one.

I test drove one a while back. Wasn't impressed with the handling or interior, but that's because I was looking for a toy. I'd have to drive one again to evaluate it as a DD. Different set of parameters.

speaking of STI's, a coworker of mine challenged me to a lap of the ring today, he's completely stock btw, i've seen his setup (could be running a tune, but stock airbox/exhaust), i'm pretty much thinking hes going to get his arse kicked by a minute or so.

Red__Zed · 09-08-2011, 02:22 PM

What do the 5.0s run the ring in? I've never seen a published time
