that would be sick if they put a 2.5 ecotec turbo into production! awd while theyre at it. lol probably wont happen though

 

Oh I agree when it comes down to performance! But speed isn't everything to me anymore. There's other things I want now. AWD, Interior, 4 Doors, aftermarket support, etc with some get up and go. AWD being exclusive to some. As long as it's possible to achieve 13s in Colorado's 5800ft and 7000+ DA then that's all I need. SS/TC IMO is by far the cheapest most affordable performance car I've ever seen. At it's price point, there's nothing else like it.

My logic is, I do the speed limit 90% of the time. I ignore 4 out of 5 race challenges and I track it a lot in the summer.

So I don't push my car to often, so having the fastest car on the road doing 40 MPH doesn't appeal to me as much as it did when I first got this car, functionality is more my thing now.

I will say this though, I can't seem to stop adding **** to my SS though. So it means a lot, but it's not everything.

But yes, the MS3, F/ST, Ralliart, and various other 4 door cars I was considering are all slower than SS/TC with the exception of 2009+ WRX. I can't afford (well I don't want to afford) an STI or EVO.
