heh. I'll keep my trap shut as I've been playing with scoobies since we got the first 'sport' impreza back in '98 (being the RS. I even had the 'priveledge' of getting the DOHC 2.5 which was phased out in '99 for the SOHC setup.. Rally Blue Pearl of course). I went through the lengthy and COSTLY process of bringing in a Subaru STi Version 5 Ra drivetrain (straight from Japan - came out of a new one they put a BUILT 2.5L turbo engine into )back when the version 5 was *current* and the Version 6 was coming out shortly. (If that's not going back a bit, I don't know what is.. )
They're both great cars and both have their merits.. I for one am now in a PT cruiser turbo. NO it isn't as fast as my scooby was, or the new STi is, but I actually *enjoy* it more in different ways than the scoob, and the scoob I enjoyed more than the cruiser in different ways.
That said.. I can't wait until somebody ponys up to the plate and goes with a larger turbo/intercooler/injectors/figures out the ECU/etc. in a PT. Then it will be time for some FUN.
