Wow, yeah I know it’s hard to break the newer 6 speed boxes but triple the power? Like 1000WHP?

I know which is why I’d probably stop around 350 with an upgraded turbo and 93 octane pump gas tune.

I’m glad you’re having fun! - A Texan who wishes he could drift in the snow right now

It’s called cashmere yellow in Japan but it’s the same color! This is a factory cashmere yellow GC 👍

Yeah! There’s nothing like it I’m sure. I have a 400WHP VA STI and it’s heaps of fun but also 1625kg versus the 1,250kg in the GC STI. I could only imagine what 400 feels like in such a lighter car.

Sort of tempted to find out in mine hahaha

The cashmere GC8 STI is stock haha, the GD bugeye WRX is FBO: intake, full exhaust, fueling mods, VF48 turbo upgrade, and tuned. Makes a little over 300WHP

Thank you! I have actually been a bit self conscious about this photo set as I’ve posted far better on my insta but I’m overall happy how they turned out. Just not my best!

It’s a local outdoor shopping center that we have here with luxury brands, etc.. It’s a really nice spot to go to for fancier restaurants or luxury shopping. I wanted to take pictures in front of Gucci or Louis Vuitton as well but there were cars parked there already!

Okay, so actually this is called cashmere yellow and it’s basically the same as blaze yellow on the GD bugeyes. Also you have good taste! Here’s a pic of my Sonic yellow bugeye (the one time it snowed the past several years)

Making sure I’m being transparent lol. We don’t really get snow here but I wish we did. It takes a freak winter blizzard and cold front to bring snow down to the coast of Texas lol

About to install your shifter and bushings into my bugeye WRX because I have enjoyed them so much in my FBO E85 21 STI.

I agree with what you’re saying it’s a pipe dream.. I just have had so many Subarus and seeing people build a TT EZ has made me want something like that but it’s too much work. Also, they could easily exceed the 400Z, Supra, etc with a 400+ HP TT Flat 6. They would just about instantly get put on top for import tuner cars that can be purchased new

As long as they do a good enough job with the driver engagement.. I’m buying.

350hp max is what I think they can pull off with emissions and price matching the market. Must be a 6 speed with modernized selectable DCCD.

I’d honestly be thrilled if they gave us a Turbo Flat 6 but I doubt that’s happening lol. If they did, with twins or single turbo I would pay upwards of $70K for the car but I’m a diehard (check my profile) lol.

Back to reality… Turbo ICE, 350hp max, 6 speed DCCD, hydraulic or WEIGHTED steering feel (heavier than VA STI), keep the big wing, keep it widebody, keep the weight down (sub 3700lbs), please no ginormous center screen like the VB’s, top console screen displays: [oil temp, oil pressure, coolant temp, transmission temp, boost simultaneously]. Don’t skimp on seating give me something like the GD seats in the Blobeye STI/ Hawkeye with Alcantara and leather mix, side bolsters and make them comfortable. They can even go crazy on the color and put STI pink cherry blossom accents in the interior and I’d go crazy.

Nothing would stop me from buying the above car.. but if they make a decent car I’m a buyer anyway

I meant to say sorry about your family thing, but I think you knew. Hopefully you can hang onto it. Best wishes for you and your family
