Excellent thread...

You'll see more and more discussion about FI small displacement engines in the coming years. There will always be a market for V8s but manufacturers are clearly putting a lot of R&D in better fuel economy.

I work with a bunch of truck driving macho Ironworkers. And ive had a 600+ HP 76mm Turbo'd 370 c.i LS truck. Cammed this cammed that. So Im sure I'll be catching a lot of flack from them. "How you gonna put a dead deer in the back of that thing?" - with my payment savings and fuel savings I can rent a truck for hunting season lol. "What are you gonna do in winter? Gotta have a truck for winter!" - I see a lot of bmws benz Porsche and every other car driving in the winter up here. No biggie...its just a base RS not a 100k BMW.

Ive got zero complaints with the fun factor of my 2.0T RS. It handles well on the square 245 20" setup. Those 20's will become my winter wheels shod with Nokians. And a square 275 setup on z28 rims will make this little gas miser even more enjoyable.

For a daily driver economical commuter car theres nothing sexier. The bose system and sunroof adds to it as well

And sadly a (very very base) and 90's like infotainment system without sunroof or decent stereo system WRX Sport cost a few bucks more and SERIOUSLY lacks the sex appeal of the Gen 6 base RS.
