Sorry if I wasted your time bud!

I didn't know there was a limit or a requirement of the type of thread people should post here (well..as long as it is related to this car). And also that you're flat out reading everything here.

I came accross this info and realised that it was and still is a marketing fluff which I thought would be interesting to share with no intention to troll, seek attention, bag any of the FR-S/BRZ/86 etc. Heck, I wouldn't care a bit if no one posts a comment on this, really!

Little did I know that on a forum (and this one in particular) everything that goes on is of the highest quality (sarcasm). Dude grow the heck up!
All I did was share some information. I will be more considerate of your time (considering this is my job right?) next time! :happy0180:
Let me guess: you're driving a BRZ?

Lets also not forget guys & gals that brand T owns about 20% of Subaru and so can dictate terms to an extent.

Thanks for the post Hawk, I understand why you posted it, even though no one else does.

AWD would have upset weight distribution, added more weight, and raised the centre of gravity. None of which would have been good.
Subaru preach and carry on about how the boxer engine gives their cars low centre of gravity... Evo 10 with it's (upright) inline engine has a lower centre of gravity than the STI.....

I'm more amused by the number of people outside the region who've come in specifically to be insulting.

I don't get it at all. It may not be the world's newest or most exciting thread, but why would you go to a regional sub-forum purely to be rude?

Captain Snooze · 11-22-2012, 05:53 PM

Because internet.

I sometimes wonder why too!

Many of us just press "new posts" and don't look at the sub forum.
