As for the Vette, I worked at Chevy before and met maybe one or two cool Vette owners. The rest were douche bags, people who bought the car just because "omg vetta, 'MERICA!," 'trophy wives, and very old dudes. Can't stand most of those people. Almost as bad as Camaro owners. And trust me, while the engine may be "simple," at least more so than the WRX's.

I've sat in and driven many vettes. Of most generations too. They're interiors, well, Chevy's interiors wear and tear very quickly and all the switches go bad quickly too. By the way, I'm a pretty short-ish guy and the car still feels a bit small. So if your near or more than 6 foot it's by no means a comfortable car to be in for a long time.

WRX's are very fun, have a HUGE community and aftermarket support, many shops that work on them, and the dealership around my area alone are known to be very welcoming and friendly to their WRX customers.

1 vote for STi/WRX.

Why take the WRX over the STI? Sorry..I'm a 240 guy at heart and I have never really researched a lot about the Subaru's. And is the 130k mileage alot for the EJ?

Yeah..I'm 6'5". Dunno if I'd fit in the Vette.
