If I ever go back to a fixed roof car it's going to be AWD and Turbo..

They sound like lawn mowers, no idea what you're talking about LoL. Funny thing is MS3's with exhausts sound sorta similar to Subaru's.
Sounds nothing like a lawnmower. What it does sound like is a boxer engine, because it is. I guess Porsches sound like lawn mowers to you too

STI best sounding 4 banger ever!!
had a guy in a stock 06-07 STI do A ricer flyby on me yesterday...
S2K>STI
stock versus stock at WOT near redline the S2K sounds way meaner...
OF course with a good exhaust STI's sound is enough to make you

LOL I'm not buying a car based on the engine sound. That's just a nice bonus...

I'd just like to state that unless you think you can get as good of a deal as people were getting in late 08, you can get a WRX for almost 10k less than an STI and stock for stock they have almost the same straight line potential.

With the left over 10K you can easily mod the suspension to out handle the STI and with a Cobb stage 2 you'll be you'll be killing it and lots of other fast cars too...

Just a thought.

Actually the flat 6's in Porsche's sound NOTHING like Subaru's 4 cylinders. Might be because of the unequal length headers employed on the USDM Subaru's because from what I understand the JDM Spec one sounds like any other for banger.

And yes they sound like disgusting lawn mowers. Don't compare it to a Porsche.

I swear, I heard one flying down my street Sunday morning and thought someone was up early mowing their lawn.

A he needs is a blow off value, nice exhaust and bingo. I am very happy with the sound my S2k makes with the CAI.
