then when it snows more then 3 inches we'll see who has to catch a ride to work. I would take my 05 legacy gt over my gta any day. gta is obviously alot faster in the straight line but the legacy is more comfortable to drive, most girls like it better, it handles better in the rain, drives better in snow...took it to jay peak a couple times with no problems. even got 20-30 mpg city and highway. Put 60k miles on it in 2 years...i replaced 2 tires, 2 low beam bulbs, 1 rear wheel bearing, rear brake pads and it got its 30k svc and tire rotations every 6k miles...other then doing maintenance i never had a problem. I have friends with sti's, one in particular had turbo back exhaust, a modified stock air box (took the resonator out) and flashed it with the cobb ap and ran 12.4...if you know how to drive and mod the car correctly you won't have a problem but he sold it in for an evo tr bc he races autocross...and you guys talk about breaking axles...i guess you forget how weak the 10 bolt is. Put slicks on your stock 4th gen and dump the clutch at 4k rpm and see what happens to your rear or driveshaft. Just like you would swap your rear, you can get stronger parts for imports too...it's funny because the whole import axle thing is pretty stereotypical just because we've seen hondas break axles all imports must. To each his own that is why everyone is different it's a matter of opinion.
