[s-cars] RE: Miss piggy still makes a BLT...

I had almost as much fun driving a stock WRX (pre-STI) on a dealer test drive as I do driving my car modded.  Of course I didn't go much over 65 mph.  I can (only) imagine what an EVO or STI modified is like, esp. when I see sites like this.  Freak...

Good to 500 hp.  Nice.

Honestly, if the STI or EVO had a better interior, I would have bought one and threw my kid's big-a$$ in the front seat, and the wife in the back (hey, she's 4'11", seem like the Taj Mahal to her).  I gotta believe they are coming, as there are a lot of deep pocket-books untapped by the current offerings from both companies.
