Yep, rear is correct. It's in the rear of the car.

So sick. Its funny how speed is all relative to whats around you.

SHO vs STi = wow that SHO is fast!

STi vs Terminator= wow that STi is fast!

Good luck not boosting and modding the crap out of the s2k. So tempting.

I really wish E85 was more readily available where i am. I would love to switch to it next summer.

I'm pretty sure the Wagon is just the 2 liter WRX motor with an STi turbo (VF39) and TMIC. So not an actual STi.

06+ WRX's are 2.5L. There's not much difference between the motors anymore and this WRX. The wagon is getting a full STi 6-speed swap over winter with brakes and suspension bits included. It hasn't lost to an STi yet and would probably run mid/high 11's on the 5-speed gearing. I tuned his car and I've left more in it... As in, we have another friend I tuned with the exact setup on his 07 WRX sedan running 3 more PSI and more timing (to which the SHO pulled that one too).

Haha... I'll let the owner know.

Here's a shot of it next to my STi:

Ah, I didn't pay attention to the year and whenever I hear "wagon" it stops at 2005 for me. I guess I'm just used to the GR's as hatchbacks
