angelan, u from Canada to, what part. Iam in T.O.. Yeah anyways, at least u guys get the evo, we dont. also, u guys get the lotus elise, the car Iam trying to get. Now that car can kill the sti and evo, dont believe me, just read Car and Driver, Road and Track, Motortrend, all of them say the same thing, its a exotic killer. plus it has toyota engine. Imagine if someone tuned that car and engine (it goes 0-60 in 4.8 sec,stck).

The octate level dictates the ways the car is manufactured, according to a subaru enthusiast that my dad works with. He got a 2004 Liberty top of the range last year, just after they stopped making the B4 (Twin Turbo), as the junk that was in the fuel we have here (Before BP Ultimate, which caused a riot in the High Octate fuel ranges) was extremely detrimental to the engines, thus the cars were tuned down, or simply using different components in key areas, thus reducing performance.
I still think that the MY98 WRX STi is the best one that Subaru ever released, what with a GReddy T66 and 205Kw... It's the fastest production one they've made... Apparently Australia gets a special edition over the next few years, since there's been some sort of outcry about it (Automotive writeup in the paper a few months back), that sees the STi go "Back to basics", ie: It loses most of the optional extras that come as standard, back to the beefed up engine design and a lighter body... At the sacrifice of some of the comforts, including climate control (Still gets aircon though, or free air, ala WINDOW).
So it just goes to show that if a country such as ours complains a lot and buys a huge amount of their '03/'04 stock... We get a little bit of a bonus (More like bribary, but they're bloody good cars)

yeah it happend here in Canada, we got some special edition Tiburon, and some special Celica. Though both were crap, not much enhancment on the engine side, just some alloy rims and a disc changer.
Dont u just hate that, when they come out with a half-assed special editon.

I understand why Mitsubishi turned teh eclipse into a bitch wagon, but I can't condone it, AND it didn't work as predicted there still going down, they should've gone the other way and embraced their race heritage, I tell you a WRC Factory championship would save that company.

Low octane fuel plus lots of boost = danger of detonation.
