Wish I could have kept my old Sti ra too, it was so clean. All the black chassis parts still looked fresh and it was cleaner under the arches than most cars are on the surface.

This may seem a silly question but are the RA's that much better then the sti's and type r's?

What makes them so good?
If its all about the short gear ratio then what happens when you run big power and have to swap to a 6 speed, does it then all go out the window if that makes sense

Any thoughts or views to set me straight
