Article - STi vs. M3, 911, Elise...more

RACER-X · 02-14-2002, 07:36 PM

The February issue of EVO magazine compares 5 driver's cars against the STi UK. Fantastic article, the STi comes away with a five star rating (4 1/2 for the 911 and M3)! Was so excited I had to read it twice!

"THE STi IS SO FAST ON SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF ROADS, YOU CAN'T HELP THINKING IT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED"

"The thing that never ceases to amaze is the sheer speed you can carry into any given corner, on any surface, in any weather."

"Astonishing. Absolutely astonishing."

Cool.

chawklit · 02-14-2002, 08:48 PM

Neat, I might have to get this magazine; is it sold in the States?

alfredob1 · 02-14-2002, 09:55 PM

You can subscribe to it for about 80 British pounds.

chawklit · 02-14-2002, 09:58 PM

That's about 70 US Dollars.

jawn · 02-14-2002, 11:40 PM

Actually 80 British pounds is about 115 US dollars. :smile:

alfredob1 · 02-14-2002, 11:43 PM

Oops. Looks like I converted Euro's not Pounds.

***MKIVSupra*** · 02-15-2002, 01:18 PM

Yeah, I just picked that issue up myself but have not had a chance to read it. I also grabbed Car, and Top Gear(I think)... they all had articles on the STi.

Bullet · 02-16-2002, 06:22 PM

Racer-X :

does the article give any times : 1/4 0-60 etc.

danc · 02-16-2002, 06:57 PM

It states...

0-60: 5.2sec (claimed)

So they didn't test it I guess.

By the way, the type UK has three cats.

"By 7000 rpm the real fire has subsided (thank the Type-UK's trio of catalyst for that) ..."

I got a copy of the mag too. I must say the article was smashing, absolutely smashing. :smile:

So does that mean we'll be taking one out? Or leaving one out when an exhaust upgrade is performed.
