Feels good that we are not alone in potentially getting creamed by the Scooby WRX STI (lmnop). At least we can go to Comptech, Factor X, or GJ for some FI help. Don't know what the 360 Modena owners can do.

Or, you can sell your car if you lose a race to a WRX
I just ignore everyone that wants to race - can't stand losing....and focus on the beauty and the mystique that is Ferrari.

That's too funny, and that is why I don't own a Ferrari, it's not that good of a car and more of a "Look at me" car. I like my ecnobox evo that can run a 12.2 and kills at the track 
I am going to get something else to drive everyday though because this shitbox rattles a lot 
I am going to get something else to drive everyday though because this shitbox rattles a lot I have heard so many good things about the scooby but still haven't warmed up to them.
I was sitting in one th other day and from a style and interior perspective it didn't move me. But I'm sure if I had been allowed to take it for a rip I would be talking a different story

good to see the imports giving it to the pompous exotic owners.
well i just got back from driving an STi, an EVO, and a (slightly) modified STi... see, i plan on dropping $3x,xxx on my next car (which is why i'm here
i have to say, these cars are brilliant. the STi has GOBS of torque, and with just an exhaust and intake makes somewhere just over 300WHP...
it's a hell of a lot better built than the lancer, too... something you can just feel. neither have anything close to the build quality of a honda, obviously, but the STi just doesn't feel as "cheap". The Lancer EASILY won the "seat of the pants" test, though. the sharp steering makes it feel like more of an appendage. i'd call it the driver's car of the 2. it was an absolute BLAST to drive. felt like i was 16 again, giggling like a fool! less body roll and sharper turn - in, but the difference i'm trying to pinpoint can't be described by words... just felt "smaller". with the Sube i felt like i was heaving weight into the corners (ok not heaving, but coming out of the lancer it was heavier), and the Lancer seemed to just jump right in!
oh, and yes, the modded STi was a hell of a lot faster than the Lancer.

When I drove the EVO I thought it was OK, but it sure doesn't feel as fast as my NSX. I know from performance stats it is right there, but there is no comparison at all between driving the two cars.
I drove a WRX and was not impressed. I would like to check out the STi.

The key to these cars is getting the top end better. I have cams, exhaust, and computer about 2700$ and gained about 100 WHP so it's right at 340whp, peak power is right @ 7100 redline is 7500 stock. I can take out a z06 on the street as well as the 03 cobra's. It's a track rat, it has no class it just hauls ass. I plan on turning this into a full race car around the end of the year and it should be pretty quick. Check out Norris Designs in the UK they can get a 0-60 in 2.8, 0-100 in 6.0 and turn a 10.5 1/4 all on street tires. Or www.Vishnutuning.com in Ca, there stage 2 = 6500-7000 and puts down 550 whp and turned a 11.6 @ 124, stock motor only cams, turbo, injectors, exhaust, and turbo. I plan on building the motor, doing a Moton setup with full cage and about 9500 rpm with 600+ish whp, should cost about 10-15k
