Well - I come from a 375WHP STi track car so the power comparison is although strange a bit similar.
This car is however a whole different story. I'm gaga over torque and a very well prepped suspension. The Subaru has some advantages in the fact that you can't mess up really - but it is still pig front heavy and sloppy w/ Mc Struts.
Until I can run a 2:10 or so at VIR the engine shall remain as is - stock. I may cave and get headers just to let the neighbors know I have a new car.
Anyway - thanks for the welcome!!
