PGT Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 why list no STI? edit.....$30k. You'd be hardpressed to get an EVO or Redline for under $30k, so the list is bunk real-world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKonBLACK Limited Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 you can get a base evo for under 30k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 not really, but ok. MSRP for a base RS is just shy of $30k with no options, features, etc. Does and RS even have AC? I mean, I get the point, but there's realistically no way you'll be walking out the door with a new EVO for less than $30k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I checked Fitzmall.com and all EVO's are about $300 below invoice. All are $32k+...guess they don't stock the RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondon Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 how come Redline Auto runs faster than manual? The same question crossed my mind. The article indicates that the difference is that the automatics are easier to launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The same question crossed my mind. The article indicates that the difference is that the automatics are easier to launch. Yeah, the clutch on the MT hangs down from the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Since when does a car qualify twice, with separate transmissions? Average the times, or list is once under the faster of the options... But the same car (and solstice and sky are the same car.) should not be on the list in two positions. It is a top nine list, not a top ten list. Legacy has it all over every one of those cars. Impala SS and GP-GXP... FWD V8 Torque-steer machines? Puh-lease. it may qualify for the list, but it pales in comparison to RWD and is positively pathetic in comparison to AWD. Mustang, sure... for a RWD coupe... but HEAVY, and after you get to 60mph, hopefully there isn't any rough pavement or curves, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wichitalegacy Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 A friend of mine bought an Evo 9 ES for 29,9xx . So, yes you can get a very nice evo for under 30k . He had to drive to Texas to get this good deal. The car only had 14 miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psi365 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Are all the 07's even out yet? Surprised there's no Mazdaspeed 3 on there considering a lot of guys say its faster then the MS6. Dodge is also coming out with the Caliber SRT4 which is supposed to be 300 awd and stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZinFreak Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 subaru reprsent although they said the car has mechanical issues Yeah, if you read back in the Car & Driver report for their long term evaluation of the Legacy, they didn't do themselves any favors by filling it with diesel fuel... http://www.caranddriver.com/longroadtests/11295/long-term-test-review-subaru-legacy-25gt-limited.html They did have quite a few mechanical issues. Bad spark plug, infamous roached wheel bearings, and a borked clutch. MT issues are tough to assign blame to, many people don't know how to properly drive a MT and burn up clutches. I've probably driven 350,000 mi. on three MT cars and never replaced a clutch. Sounds like their test car had a bad clutch right from the get-go. Spark plug -- weird. Clutch -- don't know, could go either way. Bearings -- Worrisome. This seems to be a problem that plagues Subies. I replaced two in our Outback by 40k mi. I find it hard to take one reviewers problems and extend it across and entire fleet, but it is certainly something to keep an eye on. -Zin 06 LGT LTD GRP 5MT 07 FXT LTD OBP 4EAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Back in '04, I was looking at EVO's, and almost bought a new RS for $26K. (Dealer outside of Philly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosedaddy Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I call BS on a stock Mustang GT going 5.1? I've heard of a stock 06MY Spec B consistently blowing the new Mustang GTs off the line. Not that I'd ever do that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Are all the 07's even out yet? Surprised there's no Mazdaspeed 3 on there considering a lot of guys say its faster then the MS6. Dodge is also coming out with the Caliber SRT4 which is supposed to be 300 awd and stick. the list is of cars priced between $25k and $30k. the mazdaspeed 3, as well as the wrx, fall below that price point (according to their rules) http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 they put diesel in their LGT..... and people actually read this shit. i would never consider an opinion from editors that filled up a gas car with diesel. http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The 70-0 braking numbers on the GT are pathetic..195 ft?! The Mazdaspeed 6 does it in 45 less feet. Thats crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Why is there no WRX on this list? it's faster than the Forester XT now. And why would they put the same car on their twice with different transmissions? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
