There is nothing wrong at all with RWD cars in the snow. There is always something that is "better" at anything so where is the cut off line?

Having an STI and not putting snow tires for the snow is just plain silly

Here's the car I bought if anybody cares to see

Yep. Dude was stuck solid.

The feeling of speed is relative. A go kart 1" off the ground feels fast at 20mph, especially around the corners. A big heavy truck with 400 hp feels slow, especially around the corners. I've had 3 WRX's (one an STI Limited). They were all faster, but were pretty boring at anything under 7/10 driving, but since that's 99% of my driving conditions I never got to rev it out. The BRZ can be driven near 10/10 at leagl speeds, and while it might not feel fast in a straight line it "feels" quick everywhere else.

It's late and I just wanted to shitpost after reading the thread. Thank you for confirming my shitpost was indeed shit. Can't believe I just found out that was an acronym.

I laughed my ass off the first time I saw that written out like that.

[why?]

dude ej25 is a dino. I wish Subaru would give up and just give us teh ej20. They know anyone who is interested in power will run e85 anyways. Would be so much nicer than an engine tuned to eat itself.

The whole "just use E85" thing is great for places that can actually get it. Check out just how hard it is to find in many places and it really fades as being the answer for everybody. It really isn't as common as people would think.

Agreed. Luckily where I moved has it at the nearest gas station and there's one not too far from my buddy's place and there's one not too out of the way in-between. While they're not abundant, I can find it in my area (Houston). Having said that, I run flex fuel so I can grab the local 93 in a pinch.

that is true, but the other reason subaru says they use the ej25 is they claim Americans won't buy a high revving car with no tourque. I have no idea where they got that idea from. I bet if Subaru put the current ej20 in the STI they'd get a massives sales blip for a year or two.

Of course I live in the middle of absolutely nowhere and there are two stations that sell e85 near me. I was shocked when I found out.
