No problem. This scooby is fun to drive. I am glad that I went with the scooby instead of the Si. No offense to the "H" family. I still like the vics.

^^Mazdaspeed won't make more power than either Subaru. Besides, they are FWD its not garunteed they can put all that power to good use from a dig.

Nice ride 02droppedex, I love the color! Remember, get a tune before the bolt ons.

Thanks everyone. Had to get rid of the white that I have been running with. My Vic and my truck that I had before that were both white. As far as the Mazda Speed3 I had looked into it but there are some draw backs to it. If you want to do any type of stereo mods it is almost impossible to get the dash apart to replace stock head unit. Plus FWD. Yes it does make more power then the WRX but if you look at a side by side comparison which I believe C & D did the WRX actually beat out the speed 3 in almost all aspects of the comparisson. Plus with a little bit of work I can match or even beat the STi HP. Personally I will not got with the speed 3. But I also want AWD for where I live. Jumped on it in second today from about 15 mph and just scooted up to 65 no problem. No real lag on it.

Now on to my wish list for the "REX" first things first, drop (needs one badly, already got a set of ADR wheels waiting for me in AZ when I go down there this summer if I want them.), second exhaust full turbo back (may be getting the SPT from the dealership for it, checking to see if they can add it as an accesory along with short throw shifter for it.), larger TMIC or FMIC, debating on a BOV right now. Don't think I will go for one at least not for a while, looked into the intake for them, but I have heard they are running better with stock boxes on them. Eventually upgrade the turbo to the STi or larger, injectors and etc...... Wife says I can't touch the car for about a year. Can't do a BOV, boost controller or anything. Sucks to be me right now. I will be getting it tuned when I am in AZ this summer. So I will have it tuned before any mods happen.

WRX FTW. If the mark-ups werent so rediculous on the SI, I would say go for it. With the WRX, you get a lot of car for the money.

+2

All the car needs is a tune. With Stage 2, the WRX can be just as fast, if not faster than the STi. That's without bolt ons BTW.
