Awesome man!

I love that car very, very much. The only thing i can't stand is that interior.
Sorry to say, because i have a soft spot for EVO's, but the work station inside looks awful.

cheaper & easier to change the interior of EVO IX than the exterior of MY06 STI ................

Haha, perhaps.

But after i saw this picture, i'm actually a fan of the new Impreza. I still love my 05 STi, but the new model looks great.

hmmm.........somehow at that angle and with the decals and the massive front air-dam, it looks mean. the fenders doesn't look wider than street version yet the whole car looks low & wide (PHAT!)...........certainly a good example there.

Yeah, that's what i was saying to my mate. The angle does it all, and the base STi obviously doesn't look like that. But it's still sweet! I absolutely love the vent in front of the scoop. I'd like a WRC replica hood, but then my intercooler would be sucking in hot engine air...

you can get a leather option cant you?

yeha if your building a showcar, why not use the evo as a base. more individual.
and if you are going to be doing a show car you will probably swap out the interior......

i think overall it runs smoother then the evo 8. less harshness...
the exhaust sounds much better too.. . gear shifting is also much better then the 8. oh and the 9 has some security like the STi's keypad. on the A pillar.
the grip was awsome at high speed conering.
leather seats comes standards. the only performace option is a set of BSB rims and coilover suspension. which is $3000+.
besides tht i cannot say anything else on peformace side...because there are only a few turbo cars i have driven (stis and evo 8) except the turbo SUVs.
the only hold back i have is the dials in the evo.. i liket he sti dials much better. and i think the word lancer shouldnt be there... it should be evolution there.

is skippers a dealership? i dont knw if they have it or not..i test drove mine at paceway.
the guy said only i few has been sold (2). and a list of people including me intersted in buying it.
