4.6 average mpg, looks like that extra 8 hp came at a cost

Nice car, OP. Not sure if I would get that exact some car, but....oh wait. I did

The next 6 weeks are going to suck. and to make it worse, they are taking my Z06 in next week, so I will be left with only my 06' Sti (aka rattletrap) for the next month and a half.

Hopefully I'll have mine by Limerock. We can flip a coin to see which one of our cars we'll take.

Sure thing. It's a little bit darker than this, but not by much.

Oh hello. Time for a new sig too, huh? Whichever one we take, we'll take the other to Baltimore.

Oh, I took it out to Summit yesterday to watch a friend race. ~200 highway miles roundtrip, car is a real pleasure on the open road.

I took another test drive yesterday. Put about 30 miles on it, including a nice 15 minute clip on the highway. It rode really nice. Light years better than the STi and noticeably better than the Z06. It was also nice and quiet. I had a hard time knowing how fast I was going. Not a fan of the analog speedo/tach after having a HUD for 5 years. I couldn't figure out how to change the display on the dash. Can you put a digital speedo there?

To move the wheels out and eliminate the fender overhang.
