On a side note the one with an engine swap could be quick. Depending on what went in the car and how they built it. One of the easiest engine builds is a CR-V block and internals with a RSX-S head on it. Easy 250 whp in that combo alone when tuned which is pretty cool.
these kids have more stickers on their cars than performance parts. Plus, I'm guessing their finances are not the best based on what they drive.

She's a great driver. Of course if she breaks it, she buys it.
More than likely. Just gotta get a feel for the car. I could get that thing in the 10s, I bet

I'm sure you could take Tricksta in it. Then he can get a "I got my ass stomped by Racergirl/Speedy"

Same here. Way too potent of a power plant.

Ahh so it's probably nothing too crazy. Good on them for doing a motor swap though. Still need to experience one

I wouldn't mess with a built Ej either. 500hp, subaru AWD and 3400 lbs is something you have to take very serious.

3 months and 4K miles later I still love my subaru. It has its quirks but Damn is that a fun little car. Got it up to 125 the other day.

That's what I wanted, but prices were to high for a used car. Was like 5k cheaper to get my 16 WRX when compared to a 13 or 14 sti hatch. The interior in the 15+ is so much better too.

I can handle it, and you'll probably not break anything, because you drove my car like a grandma.

Yea, they are still insanely expensive for what they are. Decent STis are still over $30k

If I drove Hank's car like you drive your own, hank would die of a heart attack. And driving on the track is different.

okay grandma. Whatever you say. You told me we were going to "tear up bowling green." Clearly I was the only one who tore anything up.
