I know y'all think I'm crazy, but I can't help liking the STi and the Evo MR. I think the MR will fix a lot of the Mitsubishi reliability issues. It gets the correct tranny, correct xfer case, and the correct front diff that was designed for the car. Not the crap the first VIII had in it. Should be interesting!

Dean, when are you stepping up to the 2005? If I was a 2004 owner, I'd feel robbed.

Dean says "Update/Backdate", but I don't see him putting a helical LSD in there.

I'll drive the 2004 STi until 35,999 miles, then I'll pawn it off on one of y'all...

STi has some good stuff, stronger wheel bearings, new yaw control, etc. But the MR loses 300 pounds! YIKES. Can't compete with that.
