Congrats!
I'm (finally) getting my WW IX MR this afternoon - can't wait!
The only thing that sucks is that, since I had it delivered from South Coast it doesn't have any plates on it, and I'll have to wait until I have a day off (Thursday) when I can get down to the local AAA office to get the tags.
Oh well, the way I look at it it'll give me plenty of time to get it cleaned up from it's trip across the country.

Congrats on your purchase and wise selection of this over an STI. The 2006 STI is a nice car, but it looks like it has been slapped with the ugly stick and that's a lot coming from an EVO owner. STI may be fast, but you can't run away from ugly.

but since ive been playing a little bit with it, yea this car feels like it has 260-270 hp. its only got 1200 miles on it so ive been nice and shifting at 5k max.
the only solution is to get it dyno'd completely stock and find out for sure.
Anyone have any sheets of this?
