08 STI vs old school RS

Neither is mine, but I caught this on Nasioc. Look at the size difference. Reminds me of the Old GTR R32 etc vs the new GTR

You know what is great about the size increase though? the increased grip due to the much wider stance.

Looks to me like it has grown a lot less than most other cars. Look at BMWs, for example.

damn the 08's front end looks sick as fuk.but when i look at its rear i want to run away from the ugliness.

I think the rear problem is fixed with some overlays as we have seen on some of the members cars. Red FTW!

I wish subaru still made a coupe version of the impreza. I always had a coupe until I bought my STI.

I actually prefer the new car to the GC. The GC is starting to look really dated.

JuggernautTCW · 03-19-2008, 09:46 AM

is the coupe still available in jdm or any other markets?

Lol at the size difference. My friend has a tricked out RS with the same color. But as Digital stated, the RS does look dated... in a good way though.
