Would be a SHIT ton of fun, Drove my buddies stage 2 wrx and its a blast. Its almost tame because of how much grip there is, and the boost hitting is always fun. scratch like 1500 lbs and it would be an animal.

I had a stock STI and that thing screamed. Its handling was amazing and its pick up all there. If I could've taken that drive train and put it in a bigger car at the time I would've kept it. And again, mine was pretty much stock. A done up WRX is in most cases faster than a stock STI.

Check out DENT motorsports in norwood, they specialize in Subies and EVOs and all sorts of Rally inspired vehicles.

My understanding there will be 4 GTM there, 10 Hotrods and about 200 cobras. All on private property, so burn outs are not only allowed but encouraged. Tow Rd in Wareham across from the new Lowes. And oh ya, free food.

Another year past and my GTM is still not done....... agggghhhhh!

Can't believe it's that time already for their open house...keeps coming quicker and quicker every year. Do have to admit though, they do some pretty sick looking stuff.

Targa model??

Great time yesterday, hope some of you made it. As for the 818, I will have it in my garage by this time next year. Awesome little racer, cheap and easy to put together. Time to find a crashed WRX.

I think a wrx motor will be amazing reliable platform in this car... When I worked for a different auto transport co Eagle Talon base setup that was modded for a buggy that weighed around 1400 with me in it.. Was putting down around 300hp (until we found the boost controller) and OMG that thing was ridiculously fast! So much fun to rip in that car. I can only imagine what this would be like

I purchased an 03 with 67k miles with a hard side impact. Neither suspension were touched, paid $2550.00. My guess is after selling off the unneeded parts will put me around $1000.00 for all the donor parts.
