I would have thought that was a Photoshop option. "Add neg camber to photoshopped car image" :)

the pics of that sti that wraith just posted i actually like the tail lights... the first pics that were posted they looked shit but that looks hot as...
for some reason they just seem to fit in better on the sti and don't stand out like dogs balls...
It does look hot dosn't it guys, I thought you'd like it :)
It looks very nice in white too......
The tail lights look better in those pics because of the cars colour - titanium grey, no doubt aftermarkets of different design and colour will become available, I don't think you'll have one bit a problem with aftermarket gear on these cars as we do with our Opels !!!
Calibrated, not only is it tight, it's lightweight as well - reported kerb weight is 1490kg, that means it's going to easily be the best performing Sti yet !!!
It sure is shaping up to be much better than originally thought and it'll 'probably' be quicker than the new Evo 10 in a straight line....
We'll have to wait n see :)
Yep, so am I :)
I've decided my next everyday ride has to be a 4 door sedan or 5 door hatch - I'll leave the less practicle 2 door coupe and convertible bridgade for weekend/leasure driving ;)
So far those 2 (Evo 10 and new Sti) are at the top of my list....MPS 3 is a close 3rd ;)
'If ' I do eventually decide to go with one or the other of those first 2 choices, it'll come down to pricing as the main factor - Sti's looking the better of the 2 at this stage on that front :)
Don't STis and Evos cost the same?
Current models of the 2 yes, but it's the 1st time in the Aust. market that - that's been the case ! ie: current Sti and Evo 9
Right up until the Evo 8, the Evos were always the more expensive and in some models by a substancial margin !
If you follow the info that's out there so far on these 2 new models, it looks definite that the new Evo will again be the much more expensive of the 2, makes sense as it is a total new everything ground up car, whereas the Wrx's are using the same engine and drivetrain as the outgoing models, with some revisions and tweaks.
We'll know eventually - just have to wait till they're finally released ;)
I doubt the EVO will be more expensive than the STi....wasn't the EVO more expensive due to some Mitsubishi/Japan/Tax issues or something of the sorts??
I'm pretty sure the EVO will be the same price if not cheaper.....they can't justify an increase in price by saying 'it's a whole new car'....doesn't work like that.
We'll have to wait and see, nothings certain at this stage....
In the U.S the 2 have always be priced similarily, but like I said Mitsubishi Australia has only done this with the current Evo 9.
The new Evo 10 full spec with SST is rumoured as going to be priced at nearly 80k on road - with the basic spec 5 spd at between 65-70k.
Hopefully it'll be much less than that, but even at those prices reports suggest that the initial batch will be all presold, even before they arrive in the country - there's a group buy happening on the OzEvo forum I'm a member of ATM and there are no fewer than a dozen people interested !
It's the 1st time I've ever seen a group buy for an entire car lol, we normally just do odd bits n pieces group buys.....
The new Sti will not offer an SST type trans, only the standard 6spd trans.
I doubt it'll exceed a 65k on road cost....
It also appears to be a perfectly sized 5 door hatch (for me anyways) I don't want anything too big, otherwise I would've purchased a VE SS !!!!
I'm a member of a U.S Evo 10 forum and they've already got variants of this new model Lancer on the roads, some of those guys have described the new Lancers as 'boats' ie: getting a bit on the large side and too heavy ??
The reported weight of the Evo 10 is between 1540kg-1600kg depending on mechanical fit out.
I'll stay tuned and see what else comes up :)
