Yeah I don't see why you need me to have a conversation with yourself.

I'm not psychic like you so I can only go off what you actually write and look at actual automotive history as a guide. Obviously no one can debate your powers of premonition and magic crystals.

Oh that's right, you're the genius that said Tada needed to be fired for making the 86 aren't you? All makes sense now. I'm rather glad your powers don't extend beyond your cubicle.

I loved how the dip evened out when I picked up my rev works headers. Dramatic difference.

But I guess that is just trolling to you, I think its hard proof that this is the future for budget performance and good engineering takes cost in account. As far as the STI, I did mean WRX the subject of the thread, but what do you think will be in the EJ25's place when that engine is no longer produced? You're right I don't see where your coming from.

Dear lord.... the drama!! Make it stop!
