Yes, most people would take a ZL1 over an STI, it's $15,000 more car. But the guys driving STIs are in the Camaro SS price range. The STI is a much better all around performer than an SS without the 1LE package.

Been a Camaro guy my whole life but I can't help but respect the Subarus. They are mean little buggars.
Do any of you guys here know of the tons and tons of ringland issues the subis are having. Even the one I drove 2 weeks ago had that issue with 35 miles on the clock and the check engine light on during test drive, the salesman said ," hey there is warranty what are you worrying about".
