Nice, just made the switch from a 411whp Subaru myself. It's much cheaper in the long run. Nice vette

jesus christ that evo is ******* sex dude. a little too low for me but besides that immaculate

youll love the switch, the evos get a little boring after awhile and lose there excitement. lightweight/rwd and decent power is so much more exciting and a blast, even though i must admit i want another evo BAD
