Never drove either car, but I love the sound of that boxer motor on the STi.

Yeah,

It's very odd how this search turned out. I would of had the Sti but a sure thing deal at my buddies dealship fell through (Imagine that, a sure thing at a car dealership). I'm not sure what the truck runs in the quarter mile but in terms of power to weight ratio compared to the full size compition like Ford 150's it weighs 1500lb less with only 60 or so less horsepower. For a V6 truck it is very suprising and with the TRD Supercharger once it comes out it may be you I see in my rearview mirror . Unfortunatly, I can't get past the habit of driving it like my S2000 on the back roads and then suddenly realizing it doesn't stop for the turns very well so I end up drifting the damn thing. If you haven't drifted a truck you are missing one of lifes many pleasures

It's a shame that I have such a long commute to work everyday otherwise I would have grabbed a new Tundra with it's 380HP V8. Specs indicate the lighter non extended cab versions can potentialy run 0-60 in under 6 seconds. Yee Haw


Here's a pick of the exact truck I got

That is one nice Taco! I just picked up an 07' DC 4x4 as an add-on vehicle and I absolutely love it!

I have drifted many times in my 95' Rodeo back in the day. It was pretty fun, but when my girl was driving behind me on certain turns, she was saying I was almost tipping over! I was 3-wheelin and didn't even know it!

That is something I definitely won't do in the Taco!
