I know that Vancouver PD had an Evo and WRX as patrol cars a few years ago. They were unmarked and ment to catch "Street Racers". I would hate to have and Evo as a patrol car. I'm only 5'8" and 150lbs. Will my gear on I would never be able to fit in the Racaro racing seats.

Sorry for the poor cellphone pics. I've been working long hours lately. 17 hours last night and 12 tonight so I haven't had any time to enjoy the car. I will post better pictures after we have some sunny days.

I'm probably going to get the car chipped, then add a short ram intake and aftermarket exhaust. The stock exhaust sounds good but dosen't roar till you open the throttle up.

Now if i knew my gf was thinking about letting me get an sti when i was looking to trade in my lancer i would have went for it but then i would not have meet any of you crazy ****'s LOL

careful sti's are relatively fast but they have a bad top end at high speed they suckola unless heavily modded. the duty cycle on the boxters crank/piston setup has high interference.

i was all sti gung ho until i did a lot of research.

but for autocross and tracking relatively good on tight courses i hear.

Update

Well it's been about 7 months since I bought the car. I've put about 5 grand into it. The car has been great and is a blast to drive. Still miss the Scion though.

Very nice, what route are you going with it? There is a nice black one I see near my house all the time. I has that "hella flush" look, with a few Fatlace stickers on it.

no kidding...ya i think even if you were plain clothed with just a hip holster on you'd still not be that comfortable in bucket seats...even in my tC i am not always very comfortable with my 1911 on....
