They're all hiding their heads lol. There's at least two more on the forum that I know of so I am sure they will pop in.

Thanks for taking one for the team guys!

Hey Hey Hey.... I as many of u know have an 04 sti. But Ive driven the 09 WRX, and let me say, i was very impressed by it. Also, for i loved how it looked in that really dark metallic gray. It was nasty. However. Dont let me get started on the 08+ sti.

kcnizm0 · 02-27-2009, 07:17 PM

i driven the all the 08 and 09's at work... there nice. They kinda drive like a tank, but i was impressed.

i wish i could have waited for the 09 but i need a car so i got a 08 and i guess with the diff in price i payed its worth it but i really want that VF52 (303hp and 335tq to the wheels on a 08 with the swap)

yea kind of that is just the 09wrx/08sti paint to match center piece from SOA swapped in

but i want to get rid of the chrome tails as well my car has to go into the body shop soon to get a new front bumper so im going to get the tail lights sprayed and the center chrome sprayed as well

hopefully it will look something like this but in RED

Don't assume we haven't been behind the wheel of an 09, my mother is buying one next month (truth not a dig) and I test drove it. Being equal in handling and more hp doesn't make it look any better lol.

I am surprised I would have thought at least a few other people would post theirs by now.

bolksey85 · 02-27-2009, 09:55 PM

I haz 08 Legacy GT if that counts.

i know iv seen some in the area

i see a WRB 4 door almost every day it has exhaust and has a area1320 sticker on the driverside rear window

and i see a white 5 door with gold rims and a gray 5 door with tint and gunmetal rims every now and then

**Ender81** · 02-28-2009, 08:18 AM

I see three of them all the time but they kind of drive like asses (weave through traffic and try to race anything) so I haven't bothered acknowledging them lol. We have a wrb four door that shows at the Applebee's meets and new 09 owner was just there this week for the first time.

O ender, I dont assume anything these days lol. Just throwing in my personal experience. The car deff had good pickup in the low gears, almost as fast as my car when i first bought it. not bad at all. could deff use more top end though. It struggled to get to 100 a bit. up to 90 she was great though. Nothing a tune cant fix though.
