Never said I would want to do it.  
My reason for going with a wrx over the sti is the 12 grand price difference as well as it’s nearly half the price for insurance.

But, what he was saying is it’s nearly impossible to make a wrx = sti.

A few grand into a wrx vs. a sti on a track, I bet the wrx would win with equal drivers.
