Just put on my "tme" exhaust ,very quite but adds 10 whp not bad for a catback. The reflash is scheduled for Thursday. The question is will the S60R be able to equal the performance of the stock Sti 0-60, What's it gonna take.

Ok just connected with the boys from IPD they have a subaru team and a volvo team. the Volvo side did a ECU reflash and released the torque limiter, What a difference I may just sell the Sti sooner.

Ok, back from Cal Spd Wy, I'm keeping the Sti too much fun. I don't think the S60R would keep up with it on the track. I thought about buying a Radical, I first saw it on a Speed TV show "5th gear". But when I found out that they were already here and of course marked up I said forget it.
