Im not sure where you got 40k plus when the car starts at 32k, but you guys keep bringing up the argument about the R32 beating the MS3 which when i originally said that the MS3 would beat it anyway.
R32 has a much better sounding exhaust though. Dont get me wrong im not trying to start crap about the MS3 seeing that i own one and love the ever living crap out of it. But if i couldve afforded it i wouldve bought an 07 Sti anyday.
This may be true but dont forget cars with pure HP and AWD(sti, evo, R32) All of which with maybe the exception of the R would spank our beloved MS3's.
Wheres that video of the MS3 vs the 08 WRX? That shows everything that needs to be seen in the fight between the WRX and MS3. Im gonna go look for it now.
Its just the short throw shifter that mazda sells. I read somewhere that the short shifter mazdaspeed sells isn't much shorter of a throw. Personally im just going to wait for the TWM short shifter.
