they are about 10-15miles west of Chicago, usually very easy to work with, etc. PM me if you want more info, but I’ve seen guys getting pretty good deals, whether it’s a base model or a limited WRX, some pretty deep discounts.I kinda do miss the sound, yeah.

Yeah unfortunately it won't work with the turbo setup on the FA20. But it still doesn't sound that bad at all with ELH's. Here's my WRX with a Catted Turbo back exhaust.

Normal people matter. Hardly. Drive what you like. You will never ever be able to please all. Just you.
I love my STi and the thread by GunKata here was part of me exploring the purchase when I was tired of my GTi. It is soooooooooooooo much more fun than my GTi was. No way I will go back to VW. I look way forward to the next one - newer/updated WRX/STi

Agreed, I love my WRX as well. Coming from a GTI the WRX 15+ is a lot more fun and not to mention the handling is miles better. If the GTI is the extent of your performance car experience, I encourage anyone who can get access to a 15+ STI or WRX to take one to the twisties and rip on it...

I agree with both of you guys. Just wish it looked sharper. I'm still definitely interested in a base WRX running on E85 w/ FBO.

A WRX with FBO's on E85 makes some good numbers for a stock turbo, seen some hit a hair below 400AWHP on a mustang dyno. The new platform responds very well to E85 with just a DW65c or DW300 pump. Stock injectors are more than adequate for 100% E85

Meh, that's another $10k over the WRX. Could do a lot to a WRX for $10k like a Stage 3 IAG short block, ETS Turbo kit etc...
Now compared to the STI, i'd take the Ford because of the ancient STI engine.

Big +1
- get out of the 1/4mi acceleration mindset and get out on the roads/mountain roads etc and use the car as designed. Its just a blast. Makes great sounds and has plenty of space etc. Its a great fun anti modern, programmable, does all the work for you car. No silly electric steering etc. It requires input from you and rewards smoothness and an engaged driver. I liked my GTI but this appeals to me way more overall. Its not for everyone but its worth a look!
