Glad BV is going back for more. It'll be amazing to see just how fast this full interior STI can go!

why do you say that?
the quickest stock chassis awd subaru is already quicker than any stock chassis awd evo.
the quickest "full" interior awd subaru is also quicker than the quickest "full" interior awd evo.
honestly, both cars are pretty close right now in 1/4 mile times.

is putting $30K into a car considered unlimited funds? $40K? $50K? $100K?
if you wanna go fast, you're going to break parts and spend money. it's inevitable.
and btw, there's plenty of 500 whp usdm STIs running strong.
