BMW M3 or a WRX STi

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Yea Mustangs sound soooo sick. I like the sound of them better than any Lambo, or Viper or Corvette. Well, the V8's sound sick.

Yea, I mean the STi is fast, but its a Subaru.......I think their motors kinda suck, they dont last as long as a BMWs. The M3 is alot more, if you have that money, go with it.

Obviously u like fast cars. Why not save 11 or 20 grand and buy a brand new Mustang? They have 300horsepower, but they accually have like 310hp because Ford got in trouble for rating the vehicles to high like 6 years ago, so for the next 10 years, they need to under rate there Mustangs and a few other cars. The Stangs are alittle slower 0-60, the go from 5.1-5.3 0-60mph. But its a RearWheel Drive car, its gonna last a long time. They sound sick. And you can always get a nice Magna Flow exhaust System, or some other Mods.

From my personal experience I would have to say the M3...I know Subaru's hug the road, but BMW's make love to the road. The BMW also has those little extra things that you really don't need, but you can say you have it. Plus BMW's just look sick.

You're comparing oranges and apples. The M3 costs twice as much as the Sti here in Australia. In terms of Bang for buck, the Sti is the way to go. Also, the MY06 Sti now has that ugly front end (which is not in that picture), along with a 2.5ltr motor, the rest is the same as the MY05 sti.
The 06 makes more power than the 05 on less boost, but there might be some questions about the strength of internals. It has a 6 speed gearbox which as far as I know is fairly strong when compared to the 5 speed in the wrx, meaning you can give it hell off the line more often :lol:

If money is an issue, and you want a car that's focused on performance but is comfortable and refined enough as a daily driver, then go the Sti.

Don't forget with Subaru's all wheel drive, the Suby's performance in wet weather won't be far off its performance in dry weather. An sti with a few grand in mods will run 12's all day, it has that sexy boxer burble, and uh, I'm a little biased. Having said that I'd look at an evo 9 if you can deal with the cheap interior :)

Of course if this is about gt4 then I've just wasted a whole minute!

I'd go with the WRX STi (that pic is sweet). :drool:

The designs of BMW cars look boring to me.

De Lorean 2005 :shock:
(It's a new version of the car that was used in the Back to the Future movies.)

Subaru, just plain 8-) .

I think I might be getting a Scion TC because it gives you the best standard package for your money. I love the moonroof and sunroof in the TC it looks extremely sweet. Performance wise the TC is above average it has the same Camry's engine 2.4 liter 160 hp engine.
Toyota Racing Development has developed a supercharger for the TC that would pump the HP from 160 to 200. Word is that TRD is working on a 300 hp package for the TC. You don't necesarry need to get the TRD supercharger, you could get a turbocharger with HKS I think.
