couple of mods and you could be back close to cobra spec in no time. back in the days when i had Gt's and Cobras I had the same problem. I traded my cobra for a 3000 GT due to the insurance and fuel economy (4.11 > interstate driving across country). Plus when the military moved me to Utah the insurance is much higher there than Va and they have emissions laws (x pipes) but i miss her and my wrx is cool but it will never have the Torque UMPH of the cobras or GTs
