Lol... Not scared of your sub 300whp mustang bro. Probably more like 260, since I don't see any mention of heads or cam. Might give the fiat a run for its money however since it only has 101hp, but I'd did put an intake and exhaust on so it probably runs 10's now... FEAR THE FIAT!

GT40 heads, 3:73 gears. My god people you guys are serious here in AI! I was being sarcastic from the start!! In reality its a middle class muscle car, nothing special nor is it a push-over. To guy: yes it has about 265HP with my upgrades but its also a light little car and pretty quick. Like i said, only real test I've had was the Challenger R/T and i won and was frankly surprised to. That's a 350HP or so car. There are tons of cool cars in here and i'm sure many are faster then my Stang.

Love it. Is ride height one of the adjustments you plan on making? I love how low it is, but it tends to be a bitch driving around with that little travel.

Thanks! Ride height will probably stay where it is. I need to swap a few things onto my car from the Legacy GT suspension and I should be good. Right now I hit the bumpstops on bigger bumps but only because my rear upper control arms are larger than their LGT counterparts.

Bullshit. You're already called on backpedalling.

You ironically beat your friend's 2012 Challenger and ironically have an intake and exhaust that cut a SECOND off your "5.3 second" 0-60, right? :commissar:

My girlfriend was looking at this in the blue, god I wish she would have bought it. The Mazda dealership here were being dicks though and unwilling to contact her back after multiple attempts so she went with a 2011 Equinox. The CX-5 is so sporty looking, and even better looking in person.

Its not BS, but in case you want more ammo against me: my car is also a clone and an auto(OMG!) I have other stuff besides the exhaust/intake as mentioned in earlier post and my car is spec'd out beyond the stock cobra w/ the same GT40 heads, 3:73 gears and pretty much upgraded everything else. So now you can really not believe me. I know there's plenty faster cars.. yes i back pedaled, cause i was joking from the start. I'm sorry i did that, please accept me.

I had a 2006. So 227hp vs 271hp. I guess the thing I miss most about the WRX is the way it sounds with a nice catback. The handling on the Evo just feels much more precise though.

I live in NE Colorado so all I see are Subarus. It's nice to be different.

I bought my Evo used from a dealer. I know it's been tuned and has some mods but I have no idea what kinda power it's making. I'm going to take it the shop in Denver that originally tuned it and see if they have some records or remember what was done to it.

I agree, but at the end of the day, if the WRX is better, that'd be all that matters. Good to know that the handling is noticeably different.

I guess the power difference isn't undiscountable, either. Mine was maybe 290whp and kicked like a horse once the turbo go going.

It's an 03 Legacy with something like 80hp of AWD fury. Still trying to decide about the headlights. The blacked-out version turned out a little ricier than I'd wanted. My plan at the moment is to do a full STI swap on it. I am completely unapologetic about the pink stars. I love them. :colbert:

Definitely doing it right with this car, looks great. BTW it feels sharper because the Evo's rack is very quick and there's more camber/caster stock than a WRX.

Thanks, although the underside has been attacked by the cancers after the previous owner cut up the rockers to fit under car neons. :( 133,000 miles right now, the wheels are off a 'vert (no worries, they had pealing paint and were pretty trashed before I painted them.)
