Great pics, I'd love the have the same lineup at my house!

I think I've actually driven by you a few times (I work in Burlington, live 10 min away in Billerica).

Gave you the thumbs up, but no return...so I'll be expecting a return next time lol

And yet the STi feels twice as fast and pulls hard.
I say Ok at best because it isn't Smooth.. Above 5000 rpms it feels like it's going to shake the car apart.

Where as the 3000GT I can't tell the difference between 3000 and 7000 rpms based on "engine vibration" (read SMOOTH) AND IT HAS SOLID MOTOR MOUNTS.

I was side by side with a white, tinted G coupe at the Burlington Mall. Might be a cute chick driving, but she smokes, and has those ghey door ding moldings...

She zooms all over Middlesex turnpike, tailgating, holding gears in either manual or in manumatic mode

Thanks for the write up! Just wondering, did you consider the Mitsu EVO? If so, what made you chose the WRX? Are you planning on putting in a bigger turbo?

A guy here at work has an 2005 EVO and says that the ride is REALLY harsh and beats the crap out of him on the MI roads. Doesn't sound like a daily driver to me.

Thanks again for the response!

Very nice set of cars you have there... I'd hate to see your car insurance bill!! I was just in Vermont for work recently. I didn't make it up to Burlington, but I was in Quichee.

I like the 3000GT, nice ride, even if it has a weight problem. 0-60 in 3 seconds seems a bit optimistic. That's faster than a Ford GT and the new Z06 and those have 500+ horsepower and weigh a lot less. Where did you get that number from?

0-60 from G-TECH..

and the car has about 650 HP at the flywheel and all wheel drive.

I did test drive the EVO and it had four things against it.

1. It didn't feel as fast as the STi, and it felt that you had to really push it to get anything out of it.

2. The steering felt vauge and not as responsive as the STi.

3. The ride was not meant for boston streets. Too firm.

4. It's a Mitsu. After owning their flagship car and seeing the treatment i received i'd never own another one again.
