2017 WRX STi with autobox?

It says it in the description it's manual 

 

Ah well, I asked a salesman what turbo a new one had a few years ago. 

 

He looked at me puzzled then after a minute managed to stammer out.....'Ummmm Ugh a Subaru one?' 

 

I chuckled and left

more likely just sloppy listing.

 

those are enkei cast alloy wheels, not the forged bbs.

 

auto sti's have been around since the big ugly hatchback, ~2008.

 

if you do a tm search for late model sti's autos seem to out-number manuals

Sometimes I wish my 6 speed was auto, I loved the 5EAT in my 5th Gen Legacy GT, after I had it tuned it flew through gears like crazy. I test drove a V11 STi hatch previous to getting my 16' and it just picked up speed without you realising. My WRX's CVT was an absolutely incredible transmission, just wasn't solid enough to be driven hard, more of an economy box. I also noticed that STi had cool "BBS" Enkei's

what version m5 does she have ?

 

it seems that while the latest m-cars now have decent gearboxes and brakes they have become more anodyne to drive, almost audi-like.

 

no twin clutch for subaru without big investment.

F10 with the Competition Package. She drives it like a nana unfortunately, now whenever you do put your foot down it coughs and splutters. Would leave my STi for dead

All for splashing money around and what not but it just seems like a massive waste when something like a 540i with all the M Line cosmetic additions would fit the bill alot better. Crap load cheaper and still has the balls to do whats needed in those rare occasions.

nice !

f10  twin turbo with a bazillion horsepowers.

people moan that you can't get  a manual m5 any more (except in the usa) but the truth is the manual gearbox used in the f10 and e60 before is rubbish.

 

there's a world of difference (getting smaller) between a run of the mill 5 and an m5.

albeit in this case the lesser car may be the better choice.

 

quite a contrast between analogue sti and digital m5 too.

 

i'd take the sti but take that toweye off man !

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
