Default Hey Everyone always have been sti lover

Whats Up. Im new to your forum but am apart of many forums. You can usually see me on CobaltSS.net we have many members who are sti owners and we welcome everyone there. Yes i own a 2006 Sunburst Orange Cobalt ss/sc. I will be buying a sti when i move in june so i want to start reading about them now and deciding on mods that i do to it before i buy it. My car currently has 18" asa js5 rims, AEM dryflow intake, 26% tint on the side window and 5 % on the rest, Fully Debadged, 12" kicker Cvr in a ported box, Boston accoustics 900 watt amp, 2.5 farad battery campacitor. MRZ DOOR SILLS that say Cobalt ss, DC sports strut bar, avs tail light cover, Nokya 2500k bulbs. The car is all looks pretty much right now because i have to keep my warranty Which angers me . But all in all its a good thing because the car is now for sale! Need some money for the sti. Here are some pics of my rides

Drive both and see what you prefer. Personally, I'd go with the 07 over the 08.

You can always consider getting an older one for cheaper too. There are some sick cars for sale on this forum.

I would stay away from an 07 unless it has almost no miles or the owner has had in tuned. The factory tune on the 07s is garbage and harmfull to the engine... so a 07 at 40k miles is going to be in a lot worst shape than a 04-06 at 40k miles (unless the 07 owner had it tuned at a low mileage). I bought mine new and have had it stg 1 since ~2k miles so I HOPE I don't have anything to worry about...
