Base model VB + brake pads and fluid, an intake, and tune and bye bye GRC in the 1/4 or on a track. $3400 for LSDs if you want to go that route. The only time the decision is tough is if you get a...

I am glad they addressed the problem with the brakes. That was the only thing I would have modified on the car my deal went through. I still will have to replace the pads on the car I bought in...

Ideally they find out the stock engine is as strong as the WRX engine and just adding a turbo kit using E30 brings it up to 350 whp without issues. That would be a fun car.

Oh, that makes sense. I wouldn't mind a GR86 but I don't think I would buy one over a WRX up here. I am probably going to be at that decision point again within the next weeks if they total my car.

Interesting how things have changed. The WRX is responding very well to modifications. Already running 10s in the 1/4 mile and the track times with mods are very good.

It's crazy how I was in a big rush to pay a sizable markup on one of these a little over a year ago, and now you can get Premiums used with less than 7K miles for less than $34K.

Can a Cheaply Modified 2022 WRX Compete With a GR Corolla?

For those smarter than me, what would it take to make a 2022 WRX extremely competitive with a 2023 GR Corolla Core (with front and rear LSDs)?
