Any time you consider Bitish prices you need to remember that the price includes all the Sales taxes.
That's 25% Car Tax and then about 17% VAT on top of that - really, you get to pay 17% VAT on your 25% Car Tax...
Where's Guy Fawkes when you need him ?

The limited edition sti will be coming out very shortly. I can say this because I was very heavy in the subaru secene. I can tell you that the limited edition sti will have a custom made 25g turbo that is being made by a company called TEC in Golden Colorado. As far as I understood it a lot of the esx sti's have already been presold and chances of seeing one are going to be slim to none. Now are we going to see a bunch of replica's flying around. Yes we will I have a few freinds that already want to exs in Cali to get their car to perform like the esx sti (minus the paint job). As in the warany issue I don't know who is going to cover it but it will have a warranty.

What is a lot, 10 or so? My point is that the ESX is nothing special, honestly would it make an EVO owner jump ship, no, because Mitsubishi could do the same thing with the EVO if they wanted to, and have already done this. When Subaru blows Mitsubishi away with innovbated technology or a stock 4 cylinder that can hold almost 450WHP then we will talk.

But the question is, where is the EVO competition in this category? (let's not turn this thread into Mitsu warranty worthness and bashing - ok)

1.) i rather buy an S4/MR
2.) the interior is quite gh3y, hate the wheel, and the seats, the stripe is stupid, and no matter which way you look at it, that car CAN and WILL understeer ever chance it gets. Meaning Mitsubishi knows they dont need to make a car yet because they know its just going to suck. either that or they dont know who to contract with to make s.e. cars....personally, the sti is a pos and i would never own one for any other factor other than the looks, its gorgeous.....but it sucks...
Top gear tested the Evo8, FQ-320, STi and STi W1. the STi got like 1:29 and the W1 got i think 1:28...the base Evo ran the track in 1:27 and the FQ in 1:26.......sooo all i have to say is that
has Subaru by the *****

People have also forgotten: what about importation and gas guzzling tax to come on US soil? The FQ400 might as well cost as much as the "defunct" Motorex Skylines.

TEC makes some damn good turbo's, I've seen some wicked Sube's sporting their stuff. And I believe was my04rs has to say, the guy was a dedicated Suby nut and it was sad to see his car go. But thankfully he saw the light that is 4G63 lol. I'm happy to know the only other WW 04 RS in my area belongs to him.
