If there was a car available that had the same drivetrain (DCCD, Limited slip F,R, and center diffs, 6-speed transmission) with the standard 2.5 RS engine, I likely would have saved myself the few thousand dollars and gone with that. Granted, it is nice to drive a car where the right pedal does something, but for a daily driver (which mine is), the 165 HP in the 2.5 RS is plenty ( I had a 99 2.5RS that got traded in on the STi). The driveline upgrades other than the engine are what really got me to go with the STi over the other available options.
