thats one hell of a car... it too was one of my second choices... i had many; from STI to EVO to IS300 to G35. It was one hell of a decition to make, i wanted an STI for about three years, but then my roommate in college got a WRX so i took that one off the list. I didn't want to get same LOOKING car so i opted for one of the others.. bottom line GTO pick her up this week.
Yea, I had considered the Evo and Mazda RX8 as well, but neither really had the complete feeling of thrust I wanted...the STi did, and I remember when I drove it, I bounced it off off the limiter when the turbo spooled because it revved so quickly. My old car was a 5.0L 95 Mustang GT, so I used to be part of the rwd V8 crowd.
This car just had everything I wanted, maybe lacking a tad in the looks department, but it gets plenty of attention wherever it goes. Most people love it when I rev it up and then push in the clutch and it makes a loud "Psssshhhh."

BTW STi.....very cool of you to come here and share your opinions in a good manner and be straight with everyone unlike other enthusiasts who come here to bash the GTO. Welcome to LS1GTO(if no one else has welcomed you already)
Thanks! I was kinda turned off initially because of the first thread that I read about the GTO vs. Cobra, but after hanging out here awhile you guys are pretty cool! :thumbs:
