That looks like the Renick Motorsports WRX. I just sold mine about a week ago in order to get my P5. Mid 12's is OK for that car. Very easy to get there with a little over $2,000.00 I wish I could have kept mine (I was in the low 13's) but moving out is a biotch! I needed extra cash for furniture and bills.
If your friend is looking for a WRX i sugest for him to go to www.i-club.com and check the Classifieds. There are a few nicely done WRX's for sale there!
I would rather have a silver or black WRX instead of the blue one. Its like the blue Civic SI, everyone and their lesbian sister has one and wants one in that color.
