Default New here.

What's up everyone. My name is Ryan, I'm stationed at Ft. Stewart, Ga and have been in the Army for 6yrs now. I don't own a Scooby yet, but I am looking to buy. Right now I have a 2004 SVT Cobra that I have spent more money on then probubly necessary lol. But I love the thing so what can I say.
I have been shopping around looking at some WRX's, mainly the TR, I don't want to spend 34k+ on another car. Well that's about it. Love the Scooby's, the best imports.."ricers", (J/K about the ricer part) out there hands down for all around performance. I am not a huge import fan, but these I love.
Take care you all.

--Ryan

7.62 Seconds to 60 MPH I presume?

No wonder you want a Scooby instead

I like the Cobra mind you - my type of car that ... looks very Vauxhall Calibra on the Rear Quarter shot ... one of the best looking stock cars of all time IMO

Thanks man. I paid $36k brand new when I got it. It's probably worth about $27-29k now, depending on the buyer. I tell you the car is flawless, but in this game, they don't hold their value well, especially American cars. lol. I have spent around $41k on mods, tunning, etc. A little extreme, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't. I would still buy the car, but I would have left it alone. To much hard ache in this business.

Here's a couple vids of my turd:

Exhaust vid: Video of Exhaust vid 2 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The whistle you hear is my blower.

Burnout vid: Burnoutvid-1.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Let's see you AWD guys do that.

Not cheap at all..each one of those tires in the vid was about $350.00 U.S., not including shipping. lol.

They are really run cars to drive fast and in a straight line. But I need something for the turns as well, that's why I am turning to the winningest rally car in the world.

*cough* Bull****!

Like I said, Subaru's are the best sounding imports out there hands down, they have a deep sound and it doesn't sound like someone has water gun booty.
