no way. 11.8 is unheard of. noone could ever run that on a stock fuel system, especially not a wrx stock fuel system.


btw: there is a fairly enormous difference between 11.8 and 10.8...

like four transmissions and a new motor. not to mention the lsd's to keep up. and im not talking sti lsd's im talking kaaz lsd's.

So, I went and checked out the Evo tonight. They have a blue one down there. The blue is really cool, its very Audi...Anyway, i definately like the seats in the Evo better, but, did anyone notice how unprotected the front end of the evo is? I mean, if you have even a small collision, you're looking at some major engine damage. theres nothing protecting the front end but that body kit, and that factory FMIC looks $$$$. Anyway, its very cool car, I love its stance and looks.

I was also at subaru tonight, (Don't ask why) , and besides checking out the obvious, I checked out the new turbo Forester. They certainly pulled it off, pretty cool little setup...

the evo is a bad little ride no doubt about it, and yes the car will be demolished in a crash, but like most cars they are made to crumple, to save our lives. I can see a small(see. not totaled) crash being a hardcore bill. Looks likes the insurance premiums on the Evo will just rise and rise for a couple of years. I would hate to see the Evo people insurance in like 5 or 6 months when way more have been wrecked and the parts are still hard to get from japan.

Well Debbie and I sat in the Blue/Silver one while we waited for them to put the right oil in her car. The Walmart Mobile1 she gave them, and another filter please! Doh...

They still have the Blue/Silver, Blue/Gold, and White/?. Black and Silver are gone.

I haven't even driven it yet, and I'm thinking I should trade the A4, and the Rex for one... I hate to take the depreciation though... Maybe a used one next year from somebody who can't make the payments... Hmmm.
