oh man sorry to see you go, your sedan was super clean!
you definitely got the right car for what you're looking for! I've been in my friend's 500 AWHP STI and I felt the ride was very....."rough". Do they come stock like that or is it because of his suspension? It handled like a dream, but on the freeway it was a bit uncomfortable!

I'm eventually going to get a set of RCE Tarmac 2's (KW Variant 3 Clubsports, with different valving). They're pretty gangster.
The Z wheels are only for the track, so I'm not really concerned with how they look. But, I think they look badass.
As far as insurance goes, it's about the same. It's about 140/month for my STI and a daily 2006 Nissan Sentra. Single, 29/yr old male, own my own home.
I have new daily wheels coming too... Track wheels are 18x8.5 + 33, stock BBS are 18x8.5 +55 (weak sauce). New wheels are going to be 18x9 +30...

i know rates all differ by people but last time i ran numbers. my g35x was 1/2 the cost of a WRX of equal value, which made my choice a LOT easier for me. Maybe the new chassis are less retard prone and rates went down.
have fun with your new car
Sweet ride. I really like the new STi's, especially with wider rims/tires and a mild drop. I'm still a bit partial to the new EVO, especially the new Touring variant. The stuff I've witnessed EVO do at the auto-x is downright insane. It doesn't seem the way they can turn, hang on, and accelerate out....or really never let off the gas.

Pink? Nahhh. No roll cage for me.
Tomorrow: new wheels.
In a couple of weeks, built motor, GT52 turbo (basically a 30R), 38mm Tial external wastegate (dump tube), 850cc injectors, etc, etc, along with two piece front rotors, Hawk DTC-30 pads, stainless lines.........
This should put me around 400awhp. This thing is going to be a beast!
