Just wondering,
even slapping on new headers, exhaust, intakes, cams, pulleys , air filters etc . . .
what's the MAXIMUM hp you can gain from such extensive modifications?
I'm talking about NA power, no turbos.
No swaps.
*I know I know, this is a noob question :P*

Plus who wants that ugly 4 door when you can have the sexy curves of a real Champion (early Gen impreza WRC won 3 years in a row). The new generation with all it's fancy electronic Diffs can't even beat a Citroen??? Why are Evos outhandling STI's on the track and getting better reviews in the mags??? I have more respect for the one's driving GCs than you teeny boppers who are buying up STI's like they're Pokemon cards. But then again the more you guys crash the more spare motors are left for us...Keep buying.
