It def won't be a TA car, but there is a few other options I'm looking through...

I know you don't have super sport mode, or launch control, but what do you think of the SST so far?

Even without those features, the TC-SST is awesome. Just cruisin around the city it's smooth and seamless, but I really like how you can just tap the down paddle and it'll instantly go down a few gears for a pass...then hold the up paddle and you're back in drive! I've been very impressed so far, much more than I was expecting.

Yah I can't wait until you actually get it tuned (with a different turbo i'm assuming). It's a whole different feeling in super sport mode / manual flying through the switchbacks. I think you'll be even more impressed. Perhaps you still have the "fun toy" feeling .

Actually its Gunzo, HB Speed, and GTS Motorsports we're waiting for. They all are working on the TCU. It's more or less a torque limit than a horsepower limit though. And SSP has already released their 500 clutches (to a select few). The tides are definitely turning for the SST.

Like I said, the plans for power, and the whole car really, are still not fully decided. I'd like to say that this thing will end up with a ton of power and an crazy setup, but who knows at this point...

Thanks for the info!

AMS said they could adjust the spring rate on the SST with ECUTek but they were having problems with it...but I'm glad to hear more companies are getting into the SST.

Yah I don't know about the chrome on the Ralliart... I think it looks much better on the MR since it's indented. Either way, still a nice car.

How about you venture into the RALLY world with the Sportback. You've dominated the track plus i'm sure getting some experience in the dirt will def. improve on your track skills even further. just my humble opinion... either way good dude good luck!!!!
