Since you want to keep shitting on my thread with your non sense please explain how the Subaru is so much better keeping in mind that it has tested slower in 0-60 1/4 mile and in terms of handling. Lol @ comparing Subaru to Mercedes. I've owned five subarus and I loved them, but they're nothing spectacular especially in terms of quality.

OP,
Your car is very nice looking. What other cars have you owned? I just can't get over how underpowered these cars are. It's such a shame because they are gorgeous. It runs about a 15 sec QM stock, WTF?!? Does it feel very underpowered? I know, for some, speed is not everything.

Thanks, they run a high 14 stock 0-60 around 6.2 seconds. It's not awful, but it's not spectacular. Then again the car isn't built for straight line speed. From what I've gathered, with some better tires (stock ones are the same that come on a prius) it's running with or better than, cars with 50-70 more hp (msp3, wrx, genesis turbo, etc...) So it feels okay, but where the car really shines is the preciseness of the steering and the overall fun to drive factor ( I drive elbow road every day
)
Other cars I've owned:
Supra Turbo
Mr-2 Turbo
2x Lexus IS350
2x SRT-4
4x Legacy GT
Spec-V
3x Civic SI
3x Civic
2x Jeeps (one Cherokee one 5.9 Limited)
Corolla
Integra
Explorer
4 Runner
2011 Sonata
Celica
2x 240sx
TC
M45
Lincoln LS
Might be forgetting a few

I'm in no way supporting eXpoited...but I'd figure I'd give you a legit responce to your question. The Subaru (imo) is a better choice because it comes standard with Navigation, Bluetooth, and Sat radio. You also have the choice of leather/alacantra vs. the cheap cloth. The ride is slightly better in the Subaru as well, but that, of course, goes out the window once you start changing stuff....which you should...cuz that wheel gap is rull bad.
Wheel gap will be gone soon, just need to decide between fortune and BC/BR for coils

eXploited has a nice car and he's entitled to his opinion. I just didn't need to hear it 3 times in the same thread lol.

I'm sure these things are fun to drive, but $25,000 is steep for what you get. It seems almost like one of those Porsche 911 models where you're basically paying them extra to remove weight and make the car more fun. I like them a lot, but every time I think about one I start to think about how the Genesis Coupe is cheaper, more powerful (even in terms of power-to-weight according to my calculations), and has a 10-year warranty. Your car looks very nice though, I hope you enjoy it and get some more power out of that engine.
