The 200q20v had no trouble playing with a stock STi a few weeks ago 
in a straight line.  The kid pulled up to me at the stoplight and 
asked, 'What the HELL do you have under the hood?  That thing is 
#$@!ing fast!"

That said, there's zero contest in the twisties, but I'll take my car 
on the highway or reasonably open roads any day.  The new WRX design 
has also left me with one less reason to trash it; it's an astounding 
improvement.  Can't fall off the floor, as they say.

Catalytic converters need engine management designed for their mode 
of operation.  The wrong type of engine management would cause them 
to either not work, or even worse, overheat.
