Three of my friends each have one of these cars. One has an evo, one has an sti, and one has a heavily modded wrx. The evo and the sti are amazing. The funny thing about the wrx tranny's is that even though they come stock with 227 horse they only put down 170 at the wheels. That is what the stock SVT does. My buddy with the wrx showed me the article I can probably do a search online and find it agian if need be.
