Thats an old video of Joe's GT when it had around 800 HP. The STI had around 440 or so. There really hasn't been anything new lately. I wonder whats going on? :confused

My daily driver is a white, '05 STi. I have owned maybe 30 cars and the STi has to rank among the top in providing pure driving enjoyment. From a bang for the buck perspective, I don't think there's anything like it. I am not a fan at all of the STi looks but I guess it's a bit like your own face. When you're looking from the inside, out, who cares.

I have what is referred to as a Cobb Stage 2 kit. This means that the car has a turbo-back 3" exhaust (sans cat) and a Cobb AccessPort engine calibration. So, it is now about 340 HP/ 340 TQ. AWD. 6-speed close ratio. 4-doors. Large trunk. Same brembos as GT. BBS lightweight wheels (also like the GT). Recaro seats. Air conditioning. What's not to like???

Mine was about $32K out the door. One of the best car bargains on the planet IMHO.

The Sti's are amazing cars, but the Evo's are a little bit more mod friendly. The iron block evo engine is now puting out 1000hp.

yeah that part is true from what I've heard. I talked to him (wolverine) for a short period of time and from what he heard Joe's car just had bad plugs, or something like that.

Honestly, I don't know of anyone who has seen, heard from, or talked to Joe lately, he suddenly dissapeared.

ther have beena lot more races just i was picky to make sure that there were not too many cameras..

i will just say this.... at the rally i did have apleasure of racing a modded GSX R 1000 and come out on top... otherwise just busy working away at my job... you will seee wave of videos inthe near future...
