I have driven a 2002 WRX, all I can say is, I wish I could afford one! They may not have the creature comforts of your SVT, but they are quick. I also drove a dealer "demo". This one had an extrude honed turbo, ceramic coated stainless headers, cold air intake, full suspension, no cats, 3" SS exhaust, shorty shifter and a tweaked CPU. That thing hauled a$$!!!! All of these options were available from the dealer for a total of $38,500. The car had over 400 hp. Just food for thought.
