Default What do you think about Factory Five's new kit?

Uses the WRX as the donor. 227hp (stock) 1800lbs. 300hp with very minor mods. Should be a rocket even in stock form. Completed car cost $15K or less? The kit will be $9,999. Everyone knows this is a local company?

Thoughts on the rendering below?

I see in your sig you had a WRX. Fill me in....what will that engine/trans combo feel like in an 1800lbs car? Never even driven one, so your insight would be outstanding.

Would be a SHIT ton of fun, Drove my buddies stage 2 wrx and its a blast. Its almost tame because of how much grip there is, and the boost hitting is always fun. scratch like 1500 lbs and it would be an animal.

I had a stock STI and that thing screamed. Its handling was amazing and its pick up all there. If I could've taken that drive train and put it in a bigger car at the time I would've kept it. And again, mine was pretty much stock. A done up WRX is in most cases faster than a stock STI.

Check out DENT motorsports in norwood, they specialize in Subies and EVOs and all sorts of Rally inspired vehicles.
