Lol at Davie, Colin and Jimser.
Our options were the pearl white, or black and hee-haw else. Soon as i seen the white, it looked the part and looks MUCH better in the flesh, as you simply can't see the colour properly in pics.
Back lights aren't too bad in the flesh either......if you don't look right at them. I have seen someone in the US paint the inside of them red in area's and it looked good, but dunno if it really warrants it.
Only just found out last night the main differences in power to the STi. This has 251hp + 287 lbs ft, the STi has 297hp + 300 lbs ft, but the STi weighs another 110 kgs ontop of the WRX-S' weight, so power-to-weight is only different by 15hp. I reckon the torque is higher than the STi's in regards to weight? Sad i know, but i had bugger all to do last night.
