In any language I still get a kick out of how our cars are constantly being compared to cars costing far more money.
Puts a smile on my face all the time and reaffirms my decision to purchase the STI.

True....but it depends what type of chick "one wants"......at least the STi would have true love and not a Gold digger in it.

I just wonder what he said when the Porsche lost control. Anybody knows german? Also, it is cool to know that our cars are benchmarked against those costing twice...very cool indeed.

Thanks.

I was surprised when I went up agaisnt a 2006 C6 corvette and from 30-120 I was right on his tail, lost maybe 5 feet over the entire distance, at 110 he looked over and was like WTF!
Story:He want to pass because i was accelerating normally from the light, as i see him switching lanes and coming up quick I gun it and by the time my turbo spooled I was my front bumper even with his rear end by 120 I was about 5 feet back, realized how stupid i was and slowed down(i was in sandals)

Just around the part where the 4S gets tossed and loses control. Toward the end I think.

If one had the "Money" for the 911/insurance/repair...etc...then that's fine, that being said:...I would take an AWD Bentley with 550/hp 0-60 4.5 sec....

But until then I love my 07 Sti...Great bang for the buck and a "very" {unusual} car.

hmm...
6.50
narrator: in former times the porsches were known as viperish because of the rear mounted engine ("giftige Heckschleuder" cannot translate, a kind of slang in german), but the AWD has smoothed the porsche.
7.00
Tim: Porsche has built this car for the masses, it is not so uncompromisingly than the early porsches, you can feel this.
7.14
drive into the curve, using drag-torque at the rear axle, and you can evolve a nice drift for good positioning in the curve.

something like this, sorry for the bad grammar...
