Good buy. Sounds like you got your money's worth.

It's a great improvement over the last generation.

I took a drive today with a friend through Latigo Canyon Rd. I was a great time!.. It was to celebrate the installation of my COBB AP, intake and SPT cat-back exhaust with a Perrin stage1 intake map. My DP will be here in a couple of days. Here are a couple of shots.

Here's the new exhaust. It sounds great and looks way better than the stock exhaust.

Coming from the WRX world a few years ago I must admit Subaru finally addressed the serious issues that made them unworthy with their 02-03-04 WRX(transmission ).

Fast forward and look at the numbers the WRX is putting and no wonder why they are selling so well. For around $25000 a bone stock WRX puts some sick numbers 4.7 sec 0-60, it is also a good buy for that price.

Anyways, it looks like you got a decent ride. Congrats!

I have always wanted an EVO. When I bought my '05 STi in 2006, I was also looking at the EVO. I loved the way the EVO looked compared to the STi, but at that time I got the deal was looking for with the STi. After that, I was hooked on Subaru. If it had been the EVO first, I'm sure the outcome would have been different. I am truly car crazy. I love keeping up on the EVO forums even though I don't have one. I also just like sharing the passion for my car, with others.
