Indeed. I'm really liking the Amuse kit and still looking around the forums to see if there are any options.

I'm hoping to book a testdrive this weekend.

Yea. Sometimes I hope someone would damage my bumper or fenders. It'd give me a pretty good reason to slap an Amuse kit on.

amuses are expensive but oh so worth it, wish you luck on your first test drive.

The WRX's are indeed capable of just as much, if not more, than the STI. My friends' WRX is faster than mine with pretty much the same bolt ons, just a different tune.

I feel like the 370z is a bit more of a grown up sports car. There's a sort of finesse and maturity to it. It doesn't have the big wing, the hood scoop or anything saying that you want to race. Just a nice V6, clean lines, and the potential to really beat a lot of things on the road... and it does it "silently".

Whatever the case, I've jumped from scene to scene - Honda, to Subaru, and now here and it's all been great. Different goals and mindsets for each forum community and I love it. So far this place is awesome to browse around.
glad you like it, enjoy your stay.
