classic or blob?

I've owned 3 Imprezas & the type R is by far my favourite. I test drove a UK STI blob but it didn't convince me enough to buy one, I was a bit disappointed with the blob to be honest, I expected more.

luv my blob
some say blobs are ugly others say everything except blobs are bland/ugly/ugly/hideous, admit bugs are growing on me though but one thing no-one has mentioned is a classic is an encap 2 star a blob is a 4 star i know which i'd rather drive and do (blob in pearl black small spoiler) and have lost count of the times random joe public inc some gorgeous women ( hell yeah bonnet bit low front wing fine 
) have come up to me and said it's the first impreza they have liked, have also heard ugly,boy racer,chav motor but also classy and even "pure sex" lol.
The chassis are stiffer than a classic too so can fit coilovers without a real need for rollcage/braces but fair bit heavier because of that. The guy i bought mine from has a type r now which is vicious but still looks at mine and wishes he'd not sold it so choose carefully and i l hope it all turns out ok anyway happy hunting!

mines got forged pistons, sti9 rods, simtek ecu, decat, nur spec type r exhaust. none of which are fitted as the head gasket has gone atm. but with fmic and 720's and uprated crank i could get close to 400bhp. the thing is, its gona cost £4k to get all this done. but the my gearbox will go which will cost another £2k for a decent one then theres the clutch.... i could pump all the money in2 a blobeye even if they dont look as beastly.

Had both a well modded p1 and sold it for a mk1 type 25, call me mad but unsold the type 25 and bought another modded classic. Found them to be more thrilling over the blob sti don't get me wrong they are great cars but it never but the smile on my face that my old p1 did. Would i have another newage sti, yes i would but this time a hawkeye as ive not had one yet but if the right classic turned up would it sway my decision, I'm sorry to say i think it would

Thew bugeye is the new classic lol, getting a little older now but in my opinion an awsome car, ive had classics and my current bugeye and prefere the bug all day long, and you can make a bug look beastly lol. Il add pictures when mine is finished as im painting it pearl white and anthracite,(with the right colour schemes they look about a beastly as you can get)
