I had tears of joy in my eyes when they reviewed the Carrera GT images/smilies/mrgreen.gif .

But not when the STI was reviewed images/smilies/cry.gif .
If only it didn't have the understeer images/smilies/vampire.gif .

Luckily, Subaru of America is asking for their users' input on the other forum I frequent (www.nasioc.com).

Hopefully they'll listen to us.

Most requested changes:
-Less weight
-Factory warrantied mods
-Less understeer

Too bad they dont sell the FQ EVO here in the US images/smilies/cry.gif Heck... I'd be happy with just having Super Active YAW Control on a US model.

The Carrera GT's exhaust tone was absolutely wonderful, had to rewind and re-listen a few times images/smilies/tongue.gif

Gotta love the sound of that engine!

I guess I got from a German, who was speaking in english, presenting the new BMW 645 at an autoshow, and when finished presenting it (obviously with great pashion for design) he said; "again; the car is a moving sculpture..."
