sti's are definitely goofy fun.
i'll say it again: it's rewarding to drive if you drive it like a sadist. hair pulling, ass slapping, ring gagged, leave-her-covered-in-someone-else's-sweat, good old fashioned sadism. if you drive it with finesse you'll never get anywhere quickly. the car was made to be driven rowdy
Very much unlike the wrx.
They really are 2 completely different cars.....

I want an 08 sti eventually, but i just don't miss my 05.
How are the 08's responding to mods, tuning etc?
I know the 07's had some horrid factory tuning and had some issues with popped motors with just cat/turbobacks as mods.

Why not a turbo Honda? I hear you don't even have to touch the engines or transmissions.
With the perfect tune TONS of guys are well in to the 800ish whp range on stock bottom ends and it still maintains that stock honda reliability!!!!
