Maybe I'll turbo my Si to hold me over?
how will the Si w/ greddy turbo compete with evo/sti?

Honestly, I doubt you'd want to be seen in a STI/EVO when you're 25. I'm 23 and I'm over those cars and I use to be a HUGE HUGE subie guy.
IMO, don't waste your money on upgrading the SI, FF is a very limiting powertrain in terms of putting all that power down while turning. I bought the SI because it is fast enough for a DD while retaining some pretty decent MPG numbers and it met my price point.
Honestly, if there was a new reliable Japaneses RWD vehicle for 20K, even with 160hp, I'd buy it over an SI any day (Miata does not count). IMO, getting tail happy in a RWD vehicle puts a smile on my face everytime, whereas turning in an SI is kindof painful. Better w/ LSD but it does not come near RWD dynamics.
