...get in the accident & there goes your $15k swap. Cuz insurance does not cover for the swapped parts (unless you wanna pay more on your insurance).
I have driven Speed3 before and Speed3 perform really well. To be honest, it was better than stock WRX. Also Speed3's HP/TQ was close or better than stock WRX. Speed3 HP: 263 @ 5500 RPM / TQ: 280 @ 3000 RPM. While WRX HP: 265 @ 6000 RPM / TQ: 244 @ 4000 RPM. Haven't driven new STI, but my friend has ridiculously tuned STI ('04), so can't really compare with Speed3.
Like someone has said before Speed3 is practical car. It can be use as nice DD car and once a while you can drop in the track and drive back without problem. While FT86c is light weight NA car that I'm pretty sure I can say that "FT86c gonna be Fun car to drive around" even though it's still in a concept.
If you can't wait til FT86c to come out, go for Speed3. Just for me, I couldn't like the Speed3's face. Every time I look at it, it makes me laugh.
