I've owned 7 Subarus and one Corvette! I use the Impreza Outback Sport (a '99, they didn't have the WRX then
) as my DD for the "off season", but of course the 'Vette is my ride of choice!
You've got a good stable - ride 'em well - and welcome to the best site in the land to keep up with what you want to do with your ride.

You think his offshore boat was stock? Anyways, Congratulations on the new ride and welcome to the forum! I've had/have the other toys also but the C5 is by far my all time favorite. You're gonna love it.BTW- where's Dewitt?

I'd probably take the $50 also ...
Let's see ... the 28' Velocity got a Whipplecharger (640HP - 85MPH) plus about $5K in other mods ... and the WRX (not STI) got wheels, tires, and a Greddy exhaust, plus, plus ... and the Harley had a big bore kit plus about $5K in mods.
I've mellowed a bit though, I'm 58 now, and other than exhaust, probably won't do much.

Congrats and welcome. Question: You have a WRX and the Corvette. What are the biggest differences you find between the two. It would be interesting to hear. Seeing that the WRX drivers are always, and I mean always trying to get the Corvettes to race.

Bought a 2003 Coupe,6 speed, spiral gray, 1SB, 5,900 miles, polished wheels, both tops, and magnetic ride from a Chevy dealer 300 miles away. I pick it up Wednesday.
Came very close to buying a 1965 327/365 Convertable but decided I wanted something more reliable that I could take trips with and put 5K to 8K a year on.
The last Vette I owned was a 1968 that I had for three years and sold in 1972. This one will be for summer fun. My normal driver? A 2004 Subaru WRX.
