I don't think you get much over a regular STI with the ESX, other than the fact that it's a limited edition, so you'll probably have better resale, but other than that, it's not too hard to get 365bhp (yeah, at the crank, not wheels) out of an STI, much cheaper than buying an ESX, but with the ESX you get a full warranty, so I guess that's cool.

IIRC, I think it has the same suspension & brakes as the regular STI... all you're really paying for is the name & 65hp (which you can make around the same power for a grand or so on a regular STI)... and of course the different colors lol, gay wheels, and navigation... I have never been impressed with the ESX STI, and have seen nothing to change my mind.

The bumpers on the 7's are gay. Why the need a second set of lights I don't know. Is that the RE Amemiya kit or whatever the guys name is? I'd take them though over the subie.

Yeah ESX makes hella fast STi's but they make them look gay as hell. You spend 30k for something that you will need to repaint and "de gay"

If they would just make it look stock in and out, i would like ESX much much more.[/b]


Hmm, that is nice, but I kinda have to agree with you.... if they made it look stock and still have 365hp, I'm in. Until then, I would buy my own STi and beef it up to 365hp without looking like it.
