I've heard wrx's are prone to tranny problems.  My Girlfriends Brother has one, and had to have te tranny replaced because oil was actually leaking THROUGH the metal.  Thats right.  Through it.  The metal that was used was not cast corectly or something.  I've also heard guys breaking synchro's.  Stock cars, non-modded.  Plus at the stock boost of 14psi your making 227 crack power, and about 145 whp All-wheel drive sucks out all the real power.  A 240 with 14 psi would walk on wrx anyday.  Of course don't let anyone tell you that the 240 is better b/c it'll go sideways, b/c the WRX loves the sideways stuff.  TOO much fun...  I read an article that the STI has a Sport tuned E-Brake..lol
