Anything is possible with enough $$

I would go with the following which won't break the bank:

port the stock VF39 turbo
catless or catted downpipe
catback exhaust
headers

Engine management (Ecutek, Utec, etc)

An STi might be a bit small if you've got a kid on the way. They're fast, no doubt.. but a little tight when it comes to interior space.

yeah it is possible. if you add a cobb stage two for the sti then you should run 13.00 driving very conservatively considering people run 13 without any mods...

I just put a car seat on the back the other day and it looked pretty squisehd. The baby had like barely any room to move the legs. Maybe its because I sit back, i denno

there are at least 2 confirmed 12.9 runs BONE STOCK on STIs from last year. Remember, Car and Driver hit 13.1 with one and that was without fooling with pressures and leaving the spare tire and tools in

I haul 2 kids and my wife around in it all the time. "Baby" seat is behind me and I have my seat all the way back with no problems. I used the quotes because my youngest is actually 3 1/2.

If you just have one put the seat in the middle anyway, safer and gives them more room.

I will take a picture if I get a chance.
