My super car


Recommended Posts

Don't have a photo but my car (well my family's car but I drive her)

Is a awsome Subaru Impreza WRX STI which you can see in

Subaru UK website press the link that says STI

This car is amazing it super fast super fun and easy to drive as a WV golf

she goes from 0-100 at 5.5 sec and has a top speed of 235 kph (I reached only 202 scary)

If you like speed get an Impreza WRX STI (better than a Ferrari)

Yeah im sure a wrx is going to smoke a 550 marenello, or a 360 modena.

Ferrari 550 0-100 in 3.6 secs that would be at least a sizeable flogging it would be atleast a 40 meters difference at the finish line.

or what about the Ferrari F50 GT pfft it would completely spank a STI.

LOL I love hearing ppl talk **** about how great there cars are. "Ive got a Honda Civic IT SMOKES FORMULA ONE CARS!!!"

LOL thanks for the laugh i needed one.

Suby's taking on Ferrari's

:D ;) :D :p :p :p :) :)

Get a clue mate.

go easy rider, the times you gave were out anyway on the ferrari. While I'd certainly prefer a gt3 or a tvr tuscan, the wrx sti serves a lot of performance (4.8 secs to 60mph) stock standard for a fraction of the price. Add that to the fact that it would handle gravel roads more than a maranello would (can we say slide off the road ass first?) you can't beat a car down for the market it tries to serve - enthusiasts who can't afford a ferrari or may not even want one...

another thing, the sprint to 60mph/100km/h is a 16 year old penis measruing technique, many cars may take a while to get going, I have a friend who was a series 4 rx7 with a trick belt driven auto, you can drive like a granny, put plant the foot and you stay at 9000rpm and keep accelerating, we beat a 1998 wrx STi on the motorway while spinning the tyres at 140km/h in the rain.

His car takes 6 seconds to get to 100, and about that much again to get to 200.....

Buy what you want, but don't mock a car for being less than a second slower, offering awd and costing 1/8th of the price...

I can read and it says 3.4 secs there. Im not knocking the suby I like them, just the fact that he says its faster than a Ferrari is what im knocking. I know which one id rather own. And if i had the money for a WRX id get the EVO VII.

BTW YA TOOL its Riker not rider cant you fn read.

that is so true.. those ricers (civics & integras) only care about the first THREE seconds of a drag and even if they lose in the end, they dont care because they were able to get the FIRST THREE SECONDS in faster than the other car. :right: my 2 cents.

didnt mean to offend you with name being spelt wrong, just browsed through. as for the guy saying it was faster than the ferrari, I missed that too. The wrx is not a faster car at all. I have owned a number of subarus, while I don't consider myself a zealot for them, they are fairly good cars, some of which I've enjoyed driving, the 22b comes to mind

My fav car would have to the a true driver's car, the tvr tuscan or cerbera 4.5, both sub 4 to 100, both can break from 200-0 in around 3.6 seconds or so.

imho regarding the 0-100 spec, i reckon 1/4 mile is the nicest way to show a car's performance, it allows fast accelerating cars not to be squashed by larger cc and higher hp cars too much, but rewards the bigger cars nicely by the end

Do you even have a Ferrari? hmmm? I don't think so.

I own a Subaru WRX STI cause its affordable and has better use to me than a Ferrari I can take 4 of friends out with it or just my girlfriend (she loves the car).

I live in Israel were the max speed is 110kph and even than the highways are limited to 100kph which makes a Ferrari rather unusable to me .

btw what about speed bumps (?) try to drive a Ferrari over them in more then avarege speed.:o

to be fair, a 355 spider is a fun car when you can effortlessly pull into traffic in 3rd from the curb, but all things aside, for the money a wrx/sti and a few other jap models are fantastic bang for the buck.

criticise them when they get over $50,000 US rrp for their shortcomings.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
