Executive Summary
• Single owner '05 STi
• Highest quality aftermarket parts, fully sorted mechanicals
• Professionally built and tuned engine (last dyno 389/395 at the wheels)
• Street/Autocross weapon, DD and Track Ready


The Good
• Original owner.  I know everything about the car.  I am technical professional who has treated this car with great care (and expense) since I took it off the delivery truck in May of 2004.  Always garaged.  NASIOC member since 2000 with spotless reputation.

• Powertrain.  The car is a beast.  It has been expert built, and professionally tuned.  The engine was built by WJM (may he rest in peace), Subaru Master Tech, former TopSpeed engine builder, and all-around Subaru fanatic.  Documented 389/395 in a dyno session (Doug Wilkes from TopSpeed), with explosive onset of torque.  Has been road tuned (STi Mikey from PhatBotti Tuning) since then, so I expect it is more now.  Very streetable power.  A stop-light beast, and one of the fastest vehicles at local autocross.  Solid, solid car:  no codes, the synchros don't grind.

• Suspension.  One word - spectacular.  It can handle autocross no sweat, yet still be daily driven.  RCE Tarmac II fully adjustable coil-overs with all sorts of TiC, Whiteline and Kartboy goodies.

• Interior.  The interior is mostly stock.  The alcantara seats are original and in great condition.  Fully integrated Kenwood DNX7140 with Garmin navigation, Parrot Bluetooth, DVD with Blaupunkt door speakers and aftermarket under-seat subwoofer.  A tasteful matching STi-red Omari boost gauge is mounted on the steering column.

• Exterior.  The exterior paint is in great condition, and the car shines up nicely.  The wingless trunk provides a great stealthy look, while the front scoop and lip are subtly aggressive.  The JDM fogs will catch the most discriminating Subaru enthusiast’s eye.  Professional center grill pillar removal with charcoal metallic trim paint is gorgeous.


The bad
• Nothing.  This car is awesome.

The ugly
• Nothing.  This car is awesome.  Okay, there are several small dings and scuffs that the car has collected over 10 years.  The This is not a show car.  It is a very well cared for daily-driver that was occasionally autocrossed.  The dings/scuffs don't photograph well, but I'll point them all out to prospective owners.

Personal Commentary
The 2005 Subaru STi does not have safety features such as traction control or stability control.  The electronic aides in the car are all about helping you go faster.  The car will make you look like a track hero, with 4-wheel power-on drifts that are very easy to control.  However, the car will NOT save you from a mistake.

I reserve the right to NOT show you the car or provide a test drive if I think you are not a serious buyer and/or a capable driver.  Under 18 needs a parent.  I have title in hand, buyers need to have cash/financing in hand.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.

Subaru gunning for 500,000 US sales by 2015

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

For the last four years in a row, Subaru has experienced incredible sales growth including record sales of 336,441 units in 2012. This trend is all but guaranteed to continue this year with 281,652 on the books so far, but Automotive News is reporting the automaker has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
The report says that Subaru is gunning for around 500,000 sales in the US by 2015, which doesn't seem like too far of a stretch considering 2013 sales totals are expected to top 400,000 units. Through August, Subaru's sales are up 29.3 percent compared to 2012, thanks to popular models like the Forester, Outback and, surprisingly, the WRX.
A new WRX is headed for an LA Auto Show reveal while an all-new Legacy is due out next year, and AN adds that Subaru is planning to significantly increase its media spending next year and start production of the Impreza sedan in the US in 2016.

Subaru Viziv GT gears up for Vision Gran Turismo action [w/video]

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Ever wonder what it would look like if Subaru made a big brother to the BRZ, maybe to take on the Nissan GT-R or Japan's Super GT series? (Well, the BRZ already competes in the GT300 class, but we're talking about the GT500 major leagues here.) Wonder no more, car fans, because it'd probably look something like this. Only it's not a road car, and it's not a racecar. It's the latest addition to the growing roster of Vision Gran Turismo concepts for GT6.
Borrowing on the design theme put forth by the Viziv concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and the Viziv 2 concept showcased the following year, the Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo is envisioned as a racing machine. Its hypothetical hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter boxer four, turbocharged and direct-injected, to a trio of high-output electric motors to deliver a claimed 591 horsepower and 593 pound-feet of torque.
Carbon fiber construction helps offset the weight of the motors and batteries to keep the hybrid racing shooting brake down to a theoretical 3,000 pounds, with competition-spec aero to keep it glued to the track. Gamers will be able to download it directly in the game as part of the latest update, but you can scope it out right here in the image gallery above and the video and press release below.
