EIL,
a decent STI with a re-map is gonna be very similar to how the Evo was. Nice wide power band loads of stability and grip and decent braking. Add to that slicks and u make a formidable track/ point to point weapon for hardly any mods. I've been in Rob's subaru and he trully does drive it like he is trying to brake it. Martin verifies this after being round the nurburgring in it!
