I really don't see the dilemma, if money is not of concern, definitely go for the sti. Its faster, handles better, and will have a lot of parts available. However, its not like the wrx is some pos.

Good Luck.

I agree with alticoupedriver . Get the STI if money isn't a problem!

Haha, I wish I had your dilemma!

Would I prefer someone to upgrade the sh*t out of my current car, or buy me a better car?!

Decisions decisions...

In all seriousness, it's all good.

Look at it this way: do you want originality? If so, the "show car" A/C would be for you.

A stock car that that can reliably produce tons of power? The STI of course.

Why is the WRX even on the list?

Bet it was real hard for you to decide

Kidding! Good call with the turbo A/C though, that's a pretty exclusive club.

Keep us updated when progress begins!

If you were to choose, why not the Evo MR? Same level, better handling, cheaper.

and this, ladies and gentlemen, is where this thread took its turn for the worst...

/thread

but on a side note, if on daddy's payroll, i would've shot for something a bit more lofty... perhaps the GTR or the ZR-1

dam you guys....now you're making my decision much harder lol, my dad doesnt want me getting a Z06 or a GT-R. And there's no way in hell he'd let me drive a mitsubishi. my dad is planning on getting a GTR sometime in 09....so im out of luck. I'm going to go test drive the 09 STI later on today after i do some HW. heck i might even ask him if i could keep the A/C since its already paid off. he put down 26,500 cash for the A/C. Hm....tell you the truth of kinda scared of the 09 sti....320hp O_O i might do something stupid lol.

Didn't you say that you've already made this horrendously tough decision?

He doesn't *want* you getting those? Nothing about blowing 70+ grand on a brand new nearly exotic car?

I'm just getting an attention-whore vibe from you dude. Your foot controls how fast you go.

i don't see a dilemma? maybe if it was a car that didn't look like **** then it would be a dilemma..... like if it was the altima coupe or an Evo or a 06-07 STi but the new STi, i'd take a civic over it
