Comparison Test: Ford Mustang Shelby GT vs. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI - So why compare two cars whose target customers are so different? Well, first of all, they cost the same. The STI is slightly pricier at $39,440, only marginally more than the $39,180 Shelby. With as-tested prices within $300 of each other, the reality of cross-shopping these two on price alone isn't an arguable point. (more)

Replying to: gzgtp (Jan 02, 2008 5:37 am) I follow the energy markets pretty closely and I can guaranty you that we are near a point that will prove very interesting with respect to our "business as usual" fossil fuel usage. And I don't mean like we will wake up one day and be out of gas. I really do see the next few years as my last opportunity to own a car like the STi. And even a Corvette gets better mpg...

I can't stand those WRX....I think it might be the ugliest car on the road and I am not sure I would be caught dead in one. They are also expensive as hell, have no heritage, and no one will give a crap about them in 50 years or even 10 years. Hmmmm.....how many WRX's have run across the stage at Barret Jackson? Are they fast? Sure. I could stick a rocket up my ass and jump on a skate board, but that would nto make it cool. BUT, with all that said, I do respect the engineering of the car and while my RWD 450 hp Mustang sits in the garage for the winter, if I had a WRX, I could be enjoying it. There is something to be said for that. Blake

Replying to: waterdr (Jan 03, 2008 6:19 pm) As for Barret Jackson, I doubt you'll see em there cause the owners actually drive them, they aren't "Collectable". Kinda like Go rather than Show. Different strokes for different folks. -mike |

Replying to: waterdr (Jan 03, 2008 6:19 pm) My prime directive is function with form taking second place. The car has gotta be an all year machine, even though money is not an issue (I would like to think of myself as "thrifty") and be able to work as a mother ship for other activities. And the bottom line is that the STi is one of the best handling cars in its price range.
