My last 2 cars were an 03 VW GLI sedan and an 08 VW R32. Both V6, both great power to weight ratios, the R32 was AWD. The ST is a great little car. I'm just missing the grunt, exhaust note, and ability to drive in a straight line from a stop light. I have no plans to track / rally the car, but I do (of course) love speed and twisty roads. The ST makes excellent stock power for the weight of the car, and I'd like to get as much of that to the pavement as possible before I go tuning the ECU.
With all that's been said, it seems like I should go with a front brace and RMM before I have someone crack her open to change the diff.
