If you're buying a Subaru to mod, start with the 6 speed. Your wallet will thank you.

Check my sig (now). The 09+'s have upgraded gears. The only way you will hurt a 5 speed now (which a friend did around VIR I believe and its always 3rd to lose teeth) is with a much larger turbo pushing close to 500awtq. Yes the 6 speed can handle about 600awtq but getting to 450awtq isn't easy or cheap! Plus the WRX is lighter, faster 0-60 and 1/4, and better for DD with the 5 speed ratio. With the 10k price difference a STI will never touch the WRX now a days in terms of cash. Both are equal in power and upgrading brakes, sways etc to aftermarket will kill the STI and make him upgrade too. In the end its still a 10k difference.
