What crack are you smoking? Interior looks cheap compared to the 350z? Maybe it looks cheap compared to a Mercedes or Lexus, but compared to a 350z it looks much better. The screen is straight out of the G35/G37 and the whole interior looks much better overall.

really? are you in that much denial? you may not like the design of the new interior, but to say that it looks cheap (not saying it looks uber expensive), especially comared to the current z is just ignorant

I don't street race but I'm planning on joining the Auto-X scene next season. I've been talking to Mark Snow, you guys may have heard of him - used to own a red Z and now has a black Exige-S. I think with a few more mods I can push 330 awhp easily. Right now I'm at 275 awhp and 283 tq @ 3,000rpm. This tune was for more tq and good gas mileage. English Racing and ETS both confirmed I can be at 300awhp with just what I have right now, which is ETS 3" Intercooler, ETS LICP, 2.75" Tanabe downpipe, MBC, Perrin HFC, Greddy TI-C. As for the 13.3 1/4 miles, it's posted everywhere online - all major automotive magazines confirmed Mitsubishi's number.
I like STis but only the 06-07 models. The new one has a lot of potentials but testing numbers shows that it's significantly behind the previous "hawkeye" generation, the newest auto blog reported that it's slower than the 08 WRX...which is suppose to be the cheaper, less performance based model...

i know it can do 13.3, i'm just trying to get you out there
and trust me, its not slower than a reg wrx... been there, done that
and autox is uber fun, you'll want to put alot of masking tape on that pretty evo of your's

I gets spanked in almost every review I have seen from a major automotive magazine. It's a fast car, just not as fast as a replacement for the previous car because it failed to deliver on every aspect except the interior which had a nice upgrade. Subaru sacrificed the "raw" for the "luxury" - and I don't blame them from a consumer perspective but from an enthusiast it's disappointing.

ugh that's ugly. I think it'll look OK in black with maybe a new frontend and slammed w/ some different rims. I'm thinking this car will grow on some people. Like when the new bimmer's (e60,e90,e92) came out everybody dissliked them, and thought they were ugly, but now i see more people appriciate the looks.

lol, the guages look like they were thrown on there for the hell of it. In the 350 they flow. The wheel looks something out of a tiburon or some other cheap car. The whole thing looks like a mess. That is def. not progress or a clean evolution from the 350Z. Downgrade easily.
Look at how clean, functional, and good this looks.
