Good Luck with the sale... Thats one clean S
If you are getting the STI hope you can get used to the understeer/bad steering feel :'( (being that you are coming from an S, I think it will annoy the hell out of you as it did me). I ended up with an Evo X, but both it and the STI are not as much fun as the S (at least not in my opinion).... faster in the straights and corners.... for sure, but as much fun to drive... Nope.

I know what you mean about the steering feel, etc but something a little more practical might be good. Although, if no one buys it, I'll just keep modding hahaha I'm sure I'll pick up another S later... maybe after I move to japan

I think we're faster cause we got more balls Look at the other S drivers when they jump in the driver seat of those AWDs... I.E. maxrev, stinkytofu, etc... Not that I'm comparing myself with them (or am anywhere near them) but once you get used to the all the little things that make the S fast, everything else is easy!!

What I was say in regards to corning speeds is that, mod for mod, driver for driver, the STI/EVO are not as fast in the corners. Precisely why a stock EVO/STI/CR run the similar lap times @ Button or Streets. Since the fatties are clearly quicker down the straights, there is no possible way for them to be quicker in the corners. People have this preconceived notion that AWD magically makes the tires stickier.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, your car has come a long way, it's near completion, don't sell, lets see what it/you can do.
