[SS4ALL]

Hello All, I've always enjoyed fun to drive "sport" sedans. I've owned a 2002 WRX (bug eye) since new. Done mid level mods and have been happy with the vehicle for a long time. After 10+ yrs of being modded still pulls to 60mph in less than 5 sec undoubtedly helped by AWD.

Than being said, I wanted something more comfortable, a bit more refined and that would still be fun to drive. Sort of been taking my time researching high performance sedans. That is until I found the SS. It even made me switch stance on another great vehicle (2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport) as I was frankly floored by the overall package/performance/value of the SS.

I hope to enjoy my new SS for many years to come. Do a mod or two along the way. As a nod to all my friends of the V8 world I finally understand what they always told me... There is no replacement for displacement .

Moved from a 2010 WRX myself. Have not looked back since!! Welcome to low end torque!!

 

[SS4ALL]

Agreed. Difference is amazing, truly effortless everyday driving.

I will be reading, searching and researching forums like this one. I will take my time and allow the engine to come into its own before doing anything to it. But even now is like day and night for me.

Always had the highest regards for small blocks V8s. My dad loved chevy's old 350 engine and hence I grew up around them. I drove a 1973 Buick Century with small block 350 V8 for a while. Funny thing is that I drove it in 1994-1995... Then my sister took it over and slowly turned it into a VW bug. She kept crashing the thing as it would go fast but wouldn't brake all that well .

Friend of mine has Vette and I have driven it just couple of times. Although I made them count... 6 speed manual LS2 2005 or 2006 I believe.

Long story short I am glad to finally own a V8 the way I wanted it. Sort of perfect timing. I will still have my Subie bug eye for when the weather goes crazy.

I respectfully suggest just hang in there... Wife, family, always comes first . As the saying goes good things happen to those who wait. You may even be able to choose a 6 speed manual (if you prefer) if some rumors are true for the 2015 model year. Sort of a few months here and there in the greater scheme of things is nothing.
