I joined too in December. Got a silver '03 Sedan w/out the spoiler. I was going to wait for the re-style, I saw some pics and they looked nice but when I saw the real deal... I decided the Bug Eyes were for me. I am sure I will grow to like the restyled front, but I don't yet and I hate the taillights. Everyone asks me why I didn't wait for the STi, well... Aside from the piles of other reasons, it's not here yet, my car was $21.6k, I don't like the way the STi looks, etc etc. Besides, you can get the normal car to nearly the performance of the STi and not have the PULL ME OVER styling.
Right now, it's stock w/ Vishnu stage -0. Went from 154 4WHP to 186 4WHP with a reflash. Not too bad. That's on the dyno dynamics dyno, not sure what those numbers would be on a different unit. I do know that all 4 EVO 8's dynoed around 180 4WHP stock +- 3hp. That made me very happy.

There's so much more to that car than just the performance. 6 speed, beefed up suspension, Brembo rotors and calipers, three LSD differentials, electronically/driver controlled center differential. 2.5 liter 300hp torque monster, 17" rims with hi-po tires, Recaros, and intercooler mister. It's the price that's keeping me out of the game. $31K is a bargin, but it's out of my "willing to spend" league. Same goes for the EVO. If there is any possibility of me coming into some money and I can afford an EVO/STi, I'll get one.

Cons to the STi: I have my car now and have had it since December. I am SURE that the STi commands a much higher insurance premium. I cannot afford (or couldn't at the time) a $31k car - tho an STi should be much closer to if not above $35k when it's all said and done, etc. There are many reasons. My utter disdain for that spoiler is another. I don't like the restyle... Etc etc etc.
Anywho - the STi is friggin awesome - I got to talk to Shiv a little after he drove it and it sounds amazing. I sat in his EVO and it's neat, just - the Subaru suits me better. Under the hood, the EVO looks much more performance oriented as well. Given the choice again, I would still get my lil spoilerless silver '03 sedan. Works for me. Damn fun car, even out of the box - but the reflash does so much more than new numbers on a dyno. The low end is there, no more rowing the shifter like mad in city traffic. Having NO power below 3k rpm is a serious pain.
Myself, if I could, I would mod in this order:
Panel filter and resonator mod (still haven't done that - heh)
Up-Pipe
Silicone I/C hoses (at least the Y pipe)
Downpipe plus a better exhaust mebbe
Colder plugs (NGK 2387)
Fuel rail + Injectors
Reflash + Tune
etc, etc, etc..
Of course that is independent of suspension and other mods, but as far as power changes - that's where I am headed. I got the reflash because of the great things I have heard, and because I can get it re-tuned free if I stay with Vishnu. Expensive, but nice stuff - and they are pretty close. I have also spent some time at the shop and am confident in their abilities.
Anywho.. Back to work.

The new S4 is going to be 390hp. I was at Jacob Javits Center for the 2003 auto show last night in NYC.
The RS6 is going to be pumping 450+hp from the factory.
The 2000-2002 are 2.7L BiTurbo. I wished I never sold my S4.![Frown](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
It also did not even take me close to 10K to run 111mph trap speeds.

I would rather have the WRX than the 2.7T tho - a friend has one (the 6spd - DOWN BOY!) and he says it's a good car, but it's boring at best.

eek
I'm sure by the time I'm ready for a new(er) car, the WRX will be much closer to my price range than the 2.7t anyhow.
I've seen that Audi trans you are talking about. Neat technology, but as we've talked about before, if it doesn't have 3 pedals, you can sell it to someone else.

I have been manually shifting since day 1 and will continue to do so for a long time, just - it sounded cool. And, the idea of a 450hp luxury grand touring car with a sweet shifting automatic (since there's no manual available) sounds fun. I am just picturing doing the things I do in the WRX but not having to work as hard. Dunno.

well the $$ difference between those cars is alot. the WRX goes for about 25k while the G35 is like 33k and the 330CI is around 38k. For the $$ I believe that the WRX is the best car out there. I did my research and there was no other car out there for 20-28k that was a better car for the $$. I love my WRX so far but if I could afford the 330CI or G35 I would pick the G35 coupe.

well, yea.. subs are cool. I'm not dissing, just saying those damm new neons defin. give a good run. 2.4 turbocharged putting out close to 220hp to the wheels! It's advertised at 215hp at the crank but it's closer to that at the wheels! While you can mod the sub a little to make it go faster that neon could mod too. "Just a dodge?"

Hey, the neon may be an el cheapo piece of crap but if you are talking modding for speed it can have a lot of cars beat hands down with just some el cheapo upgrades.
Check out Hahn Racecraft (not sure of their site) but they have a 4 stage turbo upgrades for the previous gen of that "el cheapo piece of crap" that can put down in excess of 500 whp
