Default Drove a few laps in an STI this weekend.

nice car. no complaints. feels good even with oem rubber, the shift indicator is a nice touch. lots of power/torque. good shifter.

but for the price, I still prefer my car.

unfortunately power does not make up for lack of skill and my student went as fast as me in the 130hp civic. it was his first event with it (had a wrx before), and I think it was simply too much car for him.

regards,
Liam

Default It's usually easier to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car fast...

at least till you get really used to the fast car..

Based on Mark's account, I'm kinda glad you didn't.

Default lol. yeah the car really feels like a RWD. sporty. I prefer a neutral car like ours though

easier to drive. I'm not a huge ***-swinging-throttle-steering buff
