They would have to up the hp on the STI to over 300 drop 100lbs and keep it under 35 for me to even entertain the idea of waiting.

I'd be fine with only 40-50hp more honestly. But it would have to drop to 2600lbs while still keeping AC and some form of an audio system (but a more basic one obviously).

I honestly don't have any faith in Subaru doing so. I expect them to go one of two ways:

1. Turbo and power, plus 100-200lbs ADDED minimum.
2. Same power (or very slight bump), 50-75lbs less.

Both having bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, aero bits, etc.

What if instead of dropping the weight they just made the seat heaters warmer?

I could do that myself by increasing the voltage. Might start a fire, but heck then my butt would be really toasty!!!!

If you look back at this history of auto racing I believe the first fire suits were developed by Sparco to combat this very problem.

If that last pic is supposed to be the "Black Edition" then I'm not feeling it.
