Tempting, but bottom line most likely not. Plus, I don't feel like another car payment along with my wife's car.

If I wanted a heavy car I'd go pick up a Camaro SS (and smoke the living daylights out of that Subaru).

Sure its a nice car and somewhat cheap speed, but the WRX bandwagon is getting kinda crazy now adays. All i see now is blue WRX's all over the roads and plenty of friends who all want to get the same car. A bit over played and over-hyped IMO. When i get a new car, its going to be rwd with big n/a or turbo power.

Your Lieing, because once the DC-5R hits the US shores. You'll be the first one to puchase it.

Cal : Too have though about buying a DC-5R, after watching the Honda Type R battle video.

I read about them today at the airport.
It runs 0-60 in 4.4 sec.
and 1/4 mile in 12.9 sec. Jeezzz that is fast but the price of the car tested was 38k almost 39k.
It is no doubt fast as hell, but that is pretty high on $$$.

Too much $$$.

You can build up a WRX to make that amount of power, and still probably not come close to MSRP of the STI.

I'll stick with my current WRX. I know if I ever want to make it as fast as an STi that won't be all that difficult (especially for the difference in price between the current gen WRX to the new STi).

I doubt I would get that. Id probably either buy a EVO first, or just buy a WRX and build it up and save myself some money. Its not that hard to get a WRX into 12's. I cant wait for the first EVO or "dubya" to pull up to the R, four cylinders of naturally aspirated fury will be unleashed upon their heads

Ryan, who will resist the urge and save it for the track

Meh, i like the new look of the STi but i'm not impressed with the way a subie handles. I'll stick with my honda

The neon will be nice, but i think it needs a nice LSD, and an exterior look adjustment hehe

The WRX STi is definitely a nice car and it's understeer, weight, and turbo lag are definitely no reason to get rid of your ITR!
