Outnumbered at home
Nice choice man, definetly on my shopping list.
What year and mileage was your CL? (trying to get an idea what mine will be worth)
Please don't be as bad as I am thinking

Those things haul, i raced one in my old Audi A6, the one with twin turbo S4 engine in it, and it beat me by a small amount.
What does the limited package get you? or is that just the regular title of the GT?

Let the modding begin. That car with some wheels, body kit, drop and light tint would be one of the better looking cars on the road. It can made very fast too.

still a Masshole
nice car Matt. Quick question (I could do the research but figured it easier to just ask here), is this the same 2.5l engine as in the STi, just a smaller turbo? I always thought the WRXs were 2.0l and the STis a 2.5 liter with a bigger turbo. If this car has the STi's engine then I would think modding it wouldn't be too expensive.
Matt, are you only doing the piping and reflash for now because you want to keep the warranty? I would think that for more power the first thing might be to upgrade the turbo (understanding that it is not cheap). just curious.
I always catch myself looking at one of those and thinking to myself, "I'd rock that!"

this car will be able to make nearly 300whp/wtq on the stock turbo.
my L-GT will be quicker than a stock STi by the middle of summer.
