I wouldn't be too worried about that. Clearly not that it's very scientific but the fact that I've yet to see a single thread on any of the Subaru forums regarding a mechanical 6MT failure. It seems that the engineered weak point is the rear axle which is inexpensive to replace.

People still use 56k? :o

its just the thought of NO mechanical empathy that bugs me... the thought of dumping it off like that seems brutal!

Hey, if someone gave you cars and told you to test them what would you do. I know what I would do

Look at the road course and 1/4 mile times, almost identical to the .00. But look at the m.p.h. in the 1/4 for the Cobra, almost 9 m.p.h. higher ! :o That is a shitload at those e.t.'s..

Not to suprised since the STi looks to be at it's factory limits where as the Cobra can pick up 100+ at the wheels with a simple $80 blower pulley.
