Just bought the woman of my life a 2011 STi in Plasma Blue - awesome car + great buying experience = stoked

Maybe I'll have to take her to work - and park the Camaro..

Beautiful car! And congrats!

You're going to enjoy driving the STi a lot more than the Camaro (if it's one of the new ones)

What year camaro?

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the Forum!!

Love the Plasma blue man, looks good. Get some more pics up though when the sun comes up :P

Just a quick tip, don't drive the car crazy in the first 1000 mile break-in period, though you should run it to 6500 rpms or so a few times during that period to properly seal the engine so it wont hurt it afterwards!

Cheers man!

thanks totally blown away at the color - especially at night - we test drove a 2012 WRX - and then for ****s and giggles, the STi - and there ya go!

You'll have to give a proper comparison after the break in is through. Especially since that camaro has 23 more hp than the STi

Thanks - appreciate the tip - I'll baby it for a few miles for sure - I did take it out to about 5000 on the test drive pulling into the freeway, and took the S turn exit hard - very impressed at the balance..

I realize the Camaro may have more legs - I look at both as two different cars - the cruiser (Camaro) and the spirited driving car (Sti) - if all else fails - we have a 2007 Jetta 2.0T with DSG that comes in handy for longer drives!
