New car in the family

XKR · 05-13-2013, 08:56 PM

Unfortunately this one isn't a BMW but is a big change and I really like it.

It has every single option except for chrome mirror caps which are ugly but this is as fully equipped as it gets!

I'm going to post more pics when it's not dark out side..

lol they couldn't get one in with leather and a sunroof so this was the only option. oh well, it was just a 5 speed anyway. Maybe I have to see about how common it is to get a JDM 6 speed installed in there but the duel clutch is flawless. it would take a lot of time to get used to that turbo lag with the stick because I could let the clutch all the way out on my m3 and it won't stall but this one would.

it's a race car they don't need fancy interiors. cheap fabric and plastics will do. look at the corvette.

I agree but this has to serve as a daily driver so yeah. the seats feel much more supportive too with the leather. If this was not a daily driver then it would be a cheap GSR for 35k not 46k

hehehehe..

Nice car. First mod, get the window visors.

Nvm, looks like the car got it already.

Nice! My buddy has a modded MR and the clutch pedal is very different from a bmw's. I've never stalled it.

Get an intake, tune, and exhaust so it makes 400hp.

Nice.. Mitsubishi sent us an MR to drive around in for a week, and it was certainly an experience.. Retarded fast, handles like it's on rails, nice interior (light years ahead of my WRX), but overall I was kind of bored. This is more of a track car than a daily driver.

I know, right?! Why anyone would buy an EVO when you can get a WRX for $20K less is beyond me.

An STI?

No, you can get a base 265HP WRX for $25K.. The STI starts at about $31K. But honestly, short of suspension differences and an extra gear, there's not a big difference between the two cars. A $600 AP flash will have the WRX matching the STI's HP numbers.

Isn't the transfer case different as well? I'd still prefer the STI because they could have beefed up the axles and diffs. (Don't quote me on that, I'm not an expert on subaru's) Plus you get Brembo brakes. That IMO justifies the price difference.

Except the WRX 5 speed transmission is made of glass, and the STIs 6 speed gearbox is a hulk...
