On a sbf 302 you can pick up 100+ rwhp on a good heads/cam/intake swap for a little under 2k. If you went the GT40 heads route you could pick up like 50 rwhp for under 1k!

hey guys, saw this thread. I'm also thinking of a G37 or Corolla S. What you think is better? The 'rolla has better resale value but i'm not sure if gf will want to ride with me. How much you guys think a lease is on a G37? Also you think it's better to finance or lease? I mean oil changes and stuff are pretty rape i hear so getting free oil changes would be plus. You guys recommend me any dealerships for toyota and nissan? Is it true that North Van dealers are the best cuz of all the well off people that live there? Also you guys think it's true that red is a 'heat' color? My fav color is carbon fiber but the car doesn't come in that. I want a 'pop' color if you know what I mean.. like stand out.. I'm planning to test drive a fiat abarth next week just to compare.

Golf GTI....a bit less power (tho for approx $600 u can get a APR tune which boosts it significantly - 254hp, more than enough to boot around town IMO), but MUCH more luxurious than the STI....and the GTI is cheaper I believe...(I'm in a MK6 GTI, and I had chosen it over the STI...not up to date on the MK7)

This is pretty much exactly why I just bought a GTI over a WRX but the STI is in a different price bracket altogether.
