That was a great time!

I think it was really awesome for SOA to put on an event like that. I got about 50 bux worth of free races, 4 free hats, got to sit in the new sti while it was running, talked with some cool people... it was an awesome night!

Good to see all of you there!

Cool, thanks! Great vids. I'm beginning to like the new car more. Thanks!

Ok no one asked my my opinion but here it is anyway.

The pictures of the STi are ok, but its a nice car in person. I am a die hard sedan Impreza lover, but i dont hate this car. The inside is very nice, NAV is tight! Love the fact that it has the in console AUX inputs and 12V cigarette adaptor. As far as styling, etc the front scoop looks awesome as an integrated piece with the hood. The front grille is pretty gay looking, but im sure people will be doing an all mesh conversion, etc. That would look super good. The non-altezza tail lights would definitely complete the rear end so much cleaner. Not a big fan of the quad exhaust (sorry dave) but some oval twin pipes would look SO good.

Got a chance to hear the black one start up and leave from outside K1. It has a VERY nice rumble. The tone is excellent. When he took off around the corner, there actually was a very pronounced (pssshhhhh) from the BPV, much more noticeable than the other STi's... Heres my pictures

Outside K1, there was a good turnout of people!

Definitely cool that we could sit in the car and open everything.

my buddy dave checking it out. hes tall and there was enough headroom for him

new badging. That little vent thing does nothing, purely for looks.

the back, and yes the horrible tail lights

intercooler looked bigger to me

I think that lower grille is a bit busy with all those extra lines, but both top and bottom with the "x" mesh would look awesome!

Diggin the white STi logos on the calipers

other side rear

in dash nav. LOOK! finally a red ignition light ring!!!

gauge cluster - not pictured, the Si drive settings.

Nice car, but its pretty pricey. The doors sound nice when they shut. yay.
