OK, I have some options coming up. I'm looking to end up with only one or maybe two cars...my options are...

Sell RX7 and Supra, keep Celi and keep it as daily driver while buying a regular WRX (The 2.0 Turbo 227hp one).

Sell all three and buy an STi.

What do you think? I might even be able to swing an STi and the keeping the Celi...but I'm not sure cuz I would be so tight on money.

The regular Rex is still AWD turbo, just less horsies and torque. So I'm thinking about keeping the Celi and buying a brand new WRX, no STi though...just the 2.0L Turbo AWD. Still 0-60 in about 4.8s quarter in a little over 14.

My boyfriend just bought a wrx. Sounds Like what your wanting. It's pretty nice though. If your thinking about it it's not a bad idea.

if you can keep the celi and swing the STi, do that. if money's too tight, sell all three and get an STi... those things are sweet....

Keep the Celi at all costs. I would suggest also to get the plain WRX and not the STi as when you say you need to sell the Celi to get the STi, you will probably be unable to maintain the STi. And its not like you will be racing the STi as people who are serious about racing spend a lot of money to make their car a beast. At the last race day i went, some Toyota Starlets 3 door 1.5 Turbo GT were beating 300ZX and STI's. So get the WRX which has basically the same look.

I agree with someone mentioning the EVO as I believe its a good alternative aswell.

I'd wait for the next EVO in which the HP will be bumped to 300, if I did that anyways. I'm selling those cars because they're not worth having around just to drive in the summer time. True, the RX7 has it's time of fun and so did the Supra...but I miss my 93 RX7...and the 87 isn't the same. I think this WRX idea wil let me have fun in the 9 months where it's snowy as well as the 3 nice months.

Had I the chance, I'd get the STI. Did you think about a G35?
