back when i was in college, i wanted the 1998 WS6 really badly. it looks absolutely bad *** and mean with the 4 nostrils, like a muscle car should. too bad they'd been discontinued that car has loads of power and torque right off the factory. Then later my parents got me a '94 integra as college graduation present. When wrx came out, i started leaning more toward that and became interested in the world of rallying (basically only through videogames and Speed chan. so far ) Finally, when Evo and Sti hit the lots and i got a job which could afford either, it was a tough call, but after reading various reviews and comparisons...i didn't even go to test drive the Sti. It was all for me. i say, GO FOR IT!
