The 07 would have all the "upgrades" vs the 02-03, especially the 2.5L motor. Plus at the time I was looking, bugeyes were still going for 13-15k! I kind regret not picking up the STi, but 40k something out the door was a heafty price tag.

I saw ppl swapping from bugeyes to hawkeyes, why not the reverse?

The 07 limited has 4 pots in the front, 2's in the rear for decent stopping power and since it's the limited I have a really nice interior (although I am in the process of looking for a better set of seats, as we all know the stock seats suck @$$ for long drives)...

Hey if someone wants to update their car its no problem; I just want a the more classic look.

lol i'm confused... i'm supporting you
