Which is comical to me because all of these years, people in the US have complained about not getting the special STIs… and the entire time, they’ve been the equivalent of around 50k or more.
The same people claiming they can build a better STI for the same money are the same people blowing up their cars within 2yrs of ownership while rolling on XXR wheels, BC coilovers, and stock arms with no alignment paired on $70 federal 595 tires talking about ZOMFGWTFBROSOMUCHGRIPTHECARHANDLESONRAILS lol
