i also wanted to add some of the cars on my list, Saturn Ion Redline & Cobalt SS cause they are quick for stock. LSJKid drove his Ion Redline ..... man it felt great. His Redline beat the WRX in a roll like taking a candy from a kid. My friend with (WRX) raced this other kid in his Cobalt SS and it looked like tie to me. I'm not sure. Or do you guys think i should just wait for 06 Si to come out or just get TRD supercharge tC.

Parts for that car most likely you will only beable to get them from the dealer which means big $$$ for a really cheap part.

8 handles beautiful and it is a very underrated car. performance isnt running down MRs and Stis but It is a fun ass car to drive. I couldnt even imagine when you start working with suspension mods and wheel and tire setup. 8s have absolute no body roll and handles incredible. If I had the money I would go for it. My mom owns one and loves it. Suicide doors are awesome and function. Plus not many out there modded really. You would be satisfied buying this car. girls love it

I also say evo. I like them better than the sti's even though the sti's seem a little bit more beefier to me. And if I were to get an sti, I would probably get an older one. The current ones have that ugly new B4 front end.

LOL....evo's
STI all the way...... people don't take into consideration that the evo (like the srt-4) is fast ONLY because its boostin like a bitch in stock form. Take away half of that boost (like a NORMAL turbo car) and you have only around 230 or so hp. I wouldn't feel comfortable in a car that NEEDS 15psi. Get the sti, it will be ALOT better in the long run. Wouldn't you want a car that used 2/3rds as much boost but is just as fast?
