I finally realized it wasn't worth it to me and sold the se-r and bought an ls6 equipped vehicle. I will tell you after owning a z06 and feeling the power of a stock v8 it has made me a complete believer. Like I once vowed to never own an American car or a v8 I can honestly say now that after owning one I'm sold. It would take one hell of an import to pull me out of an American v8 car. I now have a fox body and have big plans for it. I think the die hard import guys that are American haters just haven't really had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a v8.
Ya, I took a big hit on getting rid of the STI so soon, but it was just never gonna do what I wanted it to do....
