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.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 Β– also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past Β– to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

Subaru Impreza shows off 360-degree passing technique

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Leave it to a Subaru WRX to find a new way to improve the art of passing. This dash cam vid shows a white WRX pirouetting past our recording car and somehow straightening out before either sliding off the road or slamming into the car ahead. If this were a standard move in rally racing, the WRC would be bigger than NASCAR.
Like most dash cam vids, we don't know where it was shot (Russia's always a good bet) or what the circumstances were (did the driver spin on purpose or was the 360-degree slide accidental?), but the remarkable feat was caught on camera and uploaded to YouTube, preserving it for an Internet eternity. Scroll below to watch the twist yourself, and don't try this at home!

Subaru sells its 10 millionth car in the United States

Mon, Sep 16 2019

No longer a niche automaker known for quirkiness, Subaru has sold its 10 millionth car in the United States a little over a year after its American division celebrated its 50th birthday. The milestone illustrates how quickly (and how much) the Japanese firm has grown in the United States. It took Subaru 41 years to sell the first five million cars on our shores. Its line-up evolved considerably during that time period; it went from peddling the 360, a tiny kei car damned by Consumer Reports as America's most unsafe car, to spear-heading the rugged wagon segment with the original Outback. It entered the 2010s with a clear idea of how to achieve maximum growth and sold an additional five million cars in a little more than a decade. Its formula is simple: expand while staying true to its roots. The milestone car, a white 2019 Impreza, isn't destined to spend the rest of its life in a museum. It was purchased in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Nate Wade Subaru, the brand's oldest American dealer, by Dr. Craig Harmon. He didn't know he had bought his daughter a historically significant Impreza until he noticed an arch made of balloons in front of the dealership. Nate Wade parked a fully restored 360 from its private collection next to the Impreza to illustrate how far Subaru has come in 50 years. Harmon's Impreza is a run-of-the-mill Rocky Mountains-spec hatchback: white with roof rack. It'll be covered in Utah's finest road salt in just a few weeks. Nothing about it reveals the threshold it represents, and Subaru isn't planning a limited series to mark the 10-million car milestone. Instead, it's focused on keeping its streak of sales records going into the foreseeable future.
