I think in 07 we will be getting a stealth sti, for the old guys who don't like to be flashy.
It looks pretty cool and it has a sunroof *fag* the black brembos look nice I might paint mine black, it's hard to clean the gold ones when they're dirty
I agree the 2.5xt takes well to sti parts but the block won't be able to take to much heat for to long, the same on a wrx motor and tranny, lightly modded you can have a fast reliable setup but when you start getting with the heavy duty power *byewhore* STi is the way to go
