The scoop is fucking ridiculous

The rest of the car looks sweet though.

I think it looks wicked I also reckon it will make a great rally platform for development. I wonder how much shorter, if any, it is to the current measurements in terms of wheelbase/track?
Big scoop = more air for TMIC = throttle response = happy times

Now you can fit a small child in the scoop!

Did anyone else notice how the exhaust moved sides in this chop?

rear end is way too messy, scoop could suck a horse through it .. heh.

you can tell its a chop with all the STi haphazardly stuck all over it, but if it comes out looking close to that, ill most likely buy one

The plastic bit on the rear end looks like that off the newer commodores which is ugly! But the rest of the car is damn hot!

The scoop would be useless once I started modding anyway. How much for a sedan convert, that would be my first mod............

I can't beleive people are starting to turn - the thing looks fukn hideous!

I know you haven't minded it from the start Stace but the rest of you should be ashamed of yourselves!

In the WRX the wheelbase is slightly longer and the height is slightly higher (few inches).

I would expect the STI to have the wheels slightly wider still

It's very interesting how 2 magazines now have done very similar chops. Hopefully it means they are close to the moneyshot.

Road & Track: (for those who can't be bothered searching)


Edit: Jaron, a few of us have liked them from the start - Don't be a hater!
