Default new cobra or STI?

I had my mind made up, I was going to get a new Cobra in 2005

But suburu screwed that all up for me...I started reading about the STI...I was impressed, a 4 banger with 300hp and runs 13.1 in the 1/4 mile, stock.

The suburu dealership here got two of them this week...I drove by MANY times just to look at them.

I test drove one today...

OMFG...what an amazing machine! It is FAST! I got in the car, the dealer started his speal about the specs and I stopped him mid sentence: "be quiet, I want to drive it"

I pushed it hard and it pushed back, it drives like its on rails and when the turbo dumps, hold the hell on!

Interior is race inspired and the seats "hug" you well.

Quite a feat for engineers to put out such a strong car with such a small engine.

Unless ford drops an engine into the cobra that that hits around 500 hp, I am going to to buy my first import next year! (still can't believe it myself....)
