You guys got the GT Limited in or just the GT? Or better yet both?

Thanks,

Brandon

"They" say the 250HP claimed is underrated...?

I'm doing more research...

FWIW the HP is underrated

Best thing you can do is go back to your dealer and have alook at the differences between an STI and yours. Even a WRX will show what I mean.

Without getting too involved your SOL for now.

I just drove a 5AT last night (thanks, Nino!). All I can say is that after driving this car, I would seriously consider trading my STi in for a GT limited 5-speed. The ergonomics are much better than a G35, the handling is VERY neutral (stiff, yet compliant), there is no discernable turbo lag (especially considering that this is an automatic), the transmission is very responsive (and the shifting using the sportshift is very accurate). I would buy a Legacy GT Limited over a G35 any day of the week and twice on sunday. Hey Chris...how much would you give me for my STi?
