if it's only 40k, I will without a doubt get it, except if I can have my beloved lancer evo.
it's a hard choice, the boxer engine sound soo good to my hear, a couple of week ago, I sit down into a wrx and rev the engine. My god, this car is so great, but I still prefer the look of a evo. Anyway on performance side they are almost equal, the driver make the biggest difference.
By the way, if it's 40k, will it be exactly the same motor as the j-spec. If it's just a different chip, it dosent mather, or a few pieces.
