Yeah it all depends how you take care of it. Some people burn the stock clutch out in 5k miles. Im at 50k and on the stocker with more power than you!

Heres a video of an LS1 GTO with a Borla Catback vs. a Subaru STI with an exhaust and tuning. The results speak for themselves.

The STi is far from being rice as you like to repeatedly remind us.
Thankfully most of the people here seem to be enthusiasts and don't act like fanboys.Last edited by Fiend; 05-16-2006 at 07:29 AM.

OK, we shouldn't be arguing as apparently all it takes to beat a LS1 is a RSX-S with bolt-ons:

(and no, I don't believe any of that for a second.)

I put the video up to show you that STI's don't hang with LS1's, especially not from a roll. Both cars in that video had aftermarket exhausts, and the STI had some tuning as well. The STI got the launch (expected) but the GTO caught up quickly and walked it hard. Thats how it goes, whether you like it or not.
I don't see how you think the STI is "far from being rice", its the epitomy of factory rice. Its a basic 4 door family sedan with a body kit, massive wing, turbo, and a nice fart can out back. It sounds like complete garbage, and looks like a charicature of itself. Please

You seem more concerned about appearances than overall performance. I bought my car for one reason - to tear up autox and road courses and have a pretty quick car that is useful for other things. I can comfortably seat 3 extra people, pack the dog up in the back, handle bad weather extremely well, etc.
So what if a modded GTO (or stock 05) can blow my stock STi away in a straightline? Oh wait, I don't have to worry about those in Canada, since they aren't sold here. Either way, drag racing isn't my top priority. If it was, I would have a Cobra (or best of both worlds C6 Z06 .)
Anyhow, this is pointless arguing.
Edit:
I kind of like how this one sounds:

This is an LS1 forum in case you didn't notice, meaning insulting Trans Ams makes you look like a fucking moron, which you probably are anyway. My car doesn't have a tacky bodykit nor a masive wing, its a stock Trans Am WS6, meaning a Muscle car, not a stupid riceburner. And whats wrong with Gold Metallic?? Its a stock Pontiac color from 98, and it looks damn nice IMO, so take your opinion and jam it. Go away, trolls aren't welcome here

I'll agree about the engine - it is one of the nicest sounding 4 bangers - however the key word is 4 banger. It still sounds like crap compared to a V6 or V8.

BTW, who insulted your car (other than you)? I mean, if you hate cars w/ cladding and spoilers you must be into some serious self-loathing since you not only drive one but you spend time in forums talking about them. You have my pity.
Oh, I drive a 300C AWD, a lightly modded Evo XIII and a '57 T-Bird. I'm about to add either a LS2 GTO or a new Vette. If I found an SS Conv that I liked I'd also consider that.
Why am I here? Because I feel like it - quit your whining. You made a ridiculous statement and got OWNED because of it. Consider it part of your education.

Despite what your jaded views are, the Trans Am and STI don't share anything in common. The T/A was designed to look exactly like it does, and the spoiler, not wing, is not in the least bit out of place or tacky. The STi is merely a factory riced out Impreza sedan, which was never meant to be a performance vehicle. Its merely a family sedan with a turbo engine and a body kit and wing. The F-Body was designed to be a mucle car from the start. Get a clue before you open your mouth and make yourself look like an idiot.
The only one "whining" here is you, you're the one that addressed me in regards to one of my posts, so if you want to stop, then STFU newb

What a clown. Read your posts again (and try to keep your lips from moving when you do). Notice the name-calling? Yup, that was you. How about the double-standards? Oh, don't know what that means? Go axe yer mommy.

Since that thing on your car isn't functional it can't properly be called a spoiler, now can it? A good place to rest your beer or Astroglide, though.
Now that we've got that solved, what do you really think we should call that thing bolted to trunk? I mean, we've proved it's not a spoiler or a wing. I vote for "tail" or, better yet, "fin".

CJ8718. Hey man. Wesman might have made some rude comments, but you need to realize where you are. When you go slamming on T/A's you piss on the thousands of owners on this LS1 board. Remember, this is a LS1 board. And as far as I am concerned, we are just letting yall visit because you have nowhere else to go. Kinda like charity...think Katrina "victims".
You are not going to get welcome arms here when you drive an import . Just a little FYI.
