I just picked up the new issue of Sport Compact Car...the cover story is titled " Spank the STi - 3 WRX tuners take on Subaru's factory hot-rod". Basically they have 3 after market company's - Rally Performance, SPI and Vishnu tuning a stock WRX against a stock STi. Vishnu seemed to out shine all the others performance wise. Price wise, Ralley Performance's " STi Hunter" was the cheapest. SPI had the most expensive mod upgrades; they did alot of show that put the price up there.. All mods included plus the price of the car itself -

Rally Performance - 30K
SPI - 50K
Vishnu - 33K

Are they telling us to get the STi and be done with it?

Pretty cool article.
