Compare, the Sti has a lot of extras so its hard to compare, because the P1 was about standard, but very impressed with the Sti so far, will report soon.

Rubbish. Classics rule (P1s, STIVs, RAs etc.). Newer cars are too heavy, too wallowy and too slow!
Few mods and the P1 will fly - personally would have spent a few grand on exhaust, remap, big brakes, lighter flywheel, lighter pulleys, some whiteline bits and guages. Will go like stink. Driver aids in Evos etc which are being added to new age cars make them feel too safe! (which is a bad thing... honest...).
Also, if (or "when" for the doom and gloom merchants....) engine blows up it'll cost between 2.5-4.5k for a rebuild depending on spec - which is still cheaper than shelling out for a new age.
Wouldn't mind a go in it though...

Good to have a change mate.... looks top.
Can't keep same car for ever.
Ive never driven or owned a new age, but im sure the extra refinements the years have added make it more useable day to day.

Looks a stunner 
I looked at getting out of my Type R for one, but didnt enjoy the driving experience... couldnt really feel what the tyres were doing and strangely, not the best sensation of speed
