Default My thoughts and reviews of the STi after one track day.

So, my brief thoughts on the car after a day at G-man are as follows....

The power is actually better then I was expecting. I was approaching 110 at a few points on track. The drive train is also very responsive. The gearing is a little short. I was driving the whole track in 4th and 5th. The only thing that was limiting my speed was the need to stop, well needing extended time to stop.

The first few changes will be brake lines, good fluid and track pads. I was able to cook the brakes in a few hard laps.

I also need grippy tires, the all seasons kinda suck, but we all knew that.

After brakes and tires, sways and strut towers and shocks. I know that the tires will help a lot of the problems, but I want a little better rotation and better turn in.

Overall, still impressed for an "out of the box". As it sits right now, I know the rocket will be faster around the track. After a few changes I think it will be faster.

Thats my $0.02
