GD The BAD STI.... It has been a good run.

Goal:

My goal is to build the best all around performing street car my income will allow. I chose the STI as a platform to build on because it seams to be a decent all around performer in stock trim. I looked at C6 corvettes, GTOs, Mustang GT's and while those cars can be made fast as hell in a straight line they lack the nimbleness and handling I desired. Evo's were out of the question thanks to the DSM crowd ruining their image.

I have three main objectives for this car:

1.) To be somewhat competitive at autocross.
2.) To make decent power (~400whp) without sacrificing usable low end power and to do so reliably.
3.) To be able to run high 11's in the 1/4 mile with good driving.
