One of my roomates back in Hawaii had an 04 STi (the other had a jacked up truck with the obnoxious exhaust, lol) and I had an 04 SE-R Spec V. We used to trade cars often so that we could throw the chicks for a loop when they thought they were following us around. Anyway, the STi was pretty good straight out of the box. His previous car was an 02 (I think, not sure of the year) WRX but he found the twisty section of Farrington HWY that was gravel ridden and ended up at the bottom of the hill through the trees.
He did catback, intake, tune, FMIC, EBC, injectors and FP. It was considerably quicker afterwards. Never knew how much power he was putting down, but I could never keep up with those guys back then in a straight line anyway. I had some of the fastest times through the corners (in the Spec V), but got demolished on the straightaways, lol.........
