I think 2 door hatches would be a huge hit. It'd remind me of the old 2.5RS's. I'd definitely rock that if it had 2 doors.

i guess Al block is ok if ur running less than 15psi of boost. the Acura RDX runs 13psi on it's Al block & they have had a crapload of problems. i do think they are getting better with Al blocks in regards to turbo applications though. problem is still the heat...

ON a side note. I do like that the BBS wheels are an option. Why pay a premium for them if you plan on buying aftermarket wheels to begin with.

all those LS motors are N/A timmyyyy nice try though.

Stage two STIs run more than 15 PSI but nice try. Hell I think stock the STI runs more than 15 PSI.

Correction: A stock STI boosts about 14.5 PSI.

looks nice. I would buy one. Especially the fact that you can actually fir your own bumper inside the car... something that is more than a pain in the *** for the evo... trying to sell a bumper or buy one is terrible when you only have the evo

and higher compression in most cases than the Evo and the Sti and many other turbo 4cyl. And if you turbo, or supercharge them they still make more power! Wow novel concept huh.

How many high horsepower ls1 motors are around that are FI? so once again. If you want to wax intellectually about something at least know wtf your talking about first.

My 05 was Protuned to run 19 psi on 93 oct.

I hate the new STi. I would not even consider buying one no matter how good the performance. And there is no way I would spend $40k for that ugly thing.
