The only real con is the FWD. Other little things like the shifter feel can be improved with shifter bushings.
You really notice the torque. Rated at 263 hp and 280 tq....earlier in the year AMS put a stock Speed3 on the dyno and put down 251 hp and 282 tq at the wheels!
Every gear it pulls....hard like there is no lag. Feels like there is no turbo...just a bigger engine.
Quality, even though this car is $10k less than the Evo looks and feels better than the Evo...at least the VIII/IX.
Handling is awesome despite only powering 2 wheels instead of 4. The brakes are amazing...even coming from Brembos. We will see how they stack up when really using them.
Overall the car is very nice. It may not have the AWD grip or the explosive-ness of a modded Evo, but it is a great DD beast.
