the most recent test of the X i think, scrolled down a bit and there's a nice comparison between the times they got for the IX and X...

101.3 vs. 103mph is still quite a gap, i'm just hoping they'll do it right with the XI...

some said the X trapped 96-98mph in earlier reviews because the car wasn't completely done or somethin'

 

Hope he doesn't take your girl for a test drive too

 

HAHA, No he has his own. I would mind taking her for test drive....

 

From a group of fans that love the limited slips and hate computers doing breaking for you on corners....

some of you guys are suddenly okay with a car without LSD and want computers to break on the corners instead?

I must be missing something.


[edit] of course I am talking about the 135i

I love this car now. I just saw a Blue one driving around for a test drive. It really looks good in person. I saw it as the LA Auto show and liked it a lot, but when its out on the road it really looks aggressive and mean.

I think i ll wait a year before i even think about getting one. I am hoping the bring the recaros after all the complaints that the US dosen't get them

 

good point and you can't get bluetooth unless you order Nav and BBS wheels. And if you get the nav you can't get the i-pod integration steering heel controls

It's small points like this that I am looking at.

 

As an 07 owner -- the 08's appear to suffer from the same shit factory tune.

I took care of this with a 79 dollar tractrix cable and retune. I would imagine the 08's are much the same.

As for the 5-60 times .... are you ****ing kdding me coming from S2000 owners?

I gained ~20hp fir 80 bucks, you can get another 50 for ~700 (downpipe). My STi is simply faster from any speed to any other at any speed than my S2000. That does not mean it is better for those of you with small dicks -- just faster.

 

steve C?



oh what's a tractrix cable?

same reason why people like a Mustang I guess it'll be easy to burn rubber especially with the plus-power mods.

BTW I think both the STi and 135 are going to be fun cars.
