Something to re-consider in a few years if it's worth getting back into a Subie.

Wow, those are some solid performance numbers. Can't argue that it won't be slow by any means. However, I still cannot get over the styling...Still looks like a cross between Mazda 3/Ford Focus/Toyota Corolla IMHO...

Numbers do look good, but overall it'll be a little more tame and less extreme than an STi, even an '04/5, naturally. But a good deal nonetheless.

Hopefully this means the sti will see some similar upgrades and get the hp up closer to 330 or 340 and stiffen up the squishy rear end.
