Default So Long Fellas~

I recently traded in my IS250 in for a 08 sti. It has been nice while it lasted. I had obtained lots of helpful hints, tips from CL. I will miss my IS but I guess it's time for me to move on.

08, I was never appealed to the previous 04-07 models. It was just too boyracerish for me.

Yeah, I am still trying to get used to the AWD system. So used to RWD cars from the past.

my friend has an awd audi, its sooooo fun to drive, sometimes when we hit turns fast you can feel the grip and it hugs the road so well.

I will be making the transition to an 09 STI soon.

Don't get me wrong the IS is a sexy looking car that is comfortable, but it doesn't satisfy as being a drivers car for a true enthusiast. I thought I needed a luxury car but I realized that I rather have a fun, fast and modable car rather then a luxury car that is quiet boring to drive. Maybe its because my IS is an Auto, i dunno.

With just $1500 you can make the 08 STI do the 1/4 in the low 12's. This is with a conservative reliable tune as well.
