my 04sti was faster than my 05 ctsv. My 04 sti had exhaust and a tune, adding about 50hp. My 05 ctsv is stock. the gearing in the 04 sti is much better (for racing), and i could drive it in the rain nearly the same as i did in the dry.

The sti was terrible for daily driving, and had all kinds of driveability issues. plus, it was like driving a loud tin can. but man, do i miss that car.

so remember, you're still driving a cadillac, and they're driving a bumpy, loud tin can

You must have a gimp cts then. I wound out 3rd and had like 3 cars on this thing, and missed the shift and just stopped.

Nah, just trying to fix the yuckyness in the interior due to GM's crappy corner cutting

I don't get traction when it's dry, so I know to behave myself in the rain

i know how to behave and keep it straight in the rain but when someone keeps talking you gotta show them how it is in life.. and by the way i love going sideways soo i like a little rain lol. the look on peoples faces when they see a 4 door sideways is priceless...
