its official as of now. i have changed my dream ride from a Subaru Impreza WRX STi to a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR. why? heres why.
1) highway TP is using the base WRX. stuck on so many orange stickers. and the ugly flashing lights. highway patrol used to have a cool single bulb blue flashing light on the BMWs and Volvos, not those red and blue wide-as-the-whole-roof kind found on neighbourhood patrol cars. yucks.
2) reason no. 1 was juz kidding. the real reason is that the Impreza underwent a facelift this year and acquired the F1 style nose. IMHO, not very nice. the GD was the best, nicer than the bugeye. 2nd best was the slim eye. if u know Impreza history that is.
3) most important reason: price. the Evo VIII MR cost 160k. the Evo IX GSR cost 127k. large discount for a newer model. no idea why. but this certainly makes it attractive. comparatively, the WRX STi costs 118k.
4) 10k price diff is explained by 40 HP. Evo has 320 while STi has 280. 0-100km/h in 5 sec flat, compared to 5.4 for STi.
5) 2nd most important reason: much less common than STi. alot of people modded their base WRX to a STi. even TS to STi. now, nobody can mod a Lancer to an Evo.
hehe. doubt will be changing anytime soon though. sigh Man Utd lost to Liverpool. sucky. luckily i followed my brain and din bet, instead of my heart. level ball was tempting. well, i better not start.... saved $100 today.
feel like changing rims. haha. oh well im calculating the budget. give me 1 sec
