Nope. The CG will always be a bit higher, so the ultimate handling envelope will always be short of a wrx wagon.

Would you care about that if this was your car? HellZ no!!!! (although you're going to go through tires like crazy with -5 degrees of camber)

I have seen this car as well. Looks quite nice.
Since you have a Helix DP does that mean that this GT30 is a a stock location version?
Is it an external wastegate?

cheers

external gate and plumbing back into the exhaust. i don't think it's in the stock location,since the turbo is quite bigger than stock.
