Cosby, there won't be a stock exhaust available from me. I already sold the one off the blue car, so the only way I'd sell my stock exhaust off the grey car is if someone buys it attached to the blue car. :)

Chris, I honestly just enjoy the car. Driven well, an AS or STU STi is capable of top PAX at any THSCC event I promise you (assuming adequate prep). I do not intend to ever track the car (if I did, I'd buy Miranda's car). I have a Spec Miata for my track needs.

I believe the STi could be competitive in ProSolo, though I probably won't get to find out this season. I doubt it's competitive in AS at National Tours, though I'd bet that a well driven one *could* trophy at Nationals. Either way, I won't find out as I've already committed to driving the McGeorge CSP Spyder at Denver, Packwood, and Wendover. I may drive it at Peru, too (no way I'll have the grey STi prepped by then, or I'd drive it there). I'm driving the Miata this weekend at Mineral Wells (watch for mystery co-driver). Don't know if I'll drive CS or CSP at the Pro Finale. Don't know what I'll drive at Nationals. But I had the idea tonight that if I get the grey car prepped enough, I may run it at the Nationals warm up event just to see how it stacks up (since I'll have it there as the daily driver anyway).

As for what Brian said, yes, I do just really enjoy the STi. There is very little that has that much bang for the buck. Perhaps an S2000 if you just really want a roadster, but not much for the four door car, that's for sure. I enjoy the Cayman on the street if I just want to drive a sports car. I enjoy autocrossing the Miata, though it may change stables soon. The CSP car was a hoot last year in Toledo, so I look forward to driving it again.

Hell, it's racing...it's all good. :)

I've had the car a day and already I have a spare set of wheels for it and am two days away from having some 275 A6's for it. I'm only one day away from some Yoko's for it, but those will go on the blue car for now. I mounted some new A6's today and shipped them to Texas for the Miata for out there. Busy, busy.

It's good to be the king.
