You will not be disappointed with that mate. Although the RA is a lot noisier than the WRX it feels so much lighter!

The bonnet is a good example. I've felt heavier carbon ones!!!!

One of my mates had a 1996 black one which ran 358bhp on the rollers at Surrey Rolling Road. He sold it after we had a trip to Southend one night, I was in my 'tuned' 220 turbo, we did a rolling start accel from about 70mph to max speed and we ran exactly neck and neck until his topped out at 135mph due to the close ratio box and my Rover carried on till the speedo needle wouldnt move any more lol!

Another mate currently has a blue facelft RA with a limited edition plaque but it has all the STi gubbins ie electrics all round etc.

Just needs a spoiler though IMO
