I also have a 2006 Subaru WRX STi, but it's all stock except for Ohlins suspension.
Sunds like a pretty quick Viper. I love Vettes, Vipers, etc... but I currently drive a 68 mustang on the weekend (hence the name).
I have built (w/ much help from my father) 2 motors for it. Currently it has a 302 .030 w/ AFR Aluminum heads, custom camshaft, coated headers, Keith Black Pistins, build C4 tranny, 9'' w/ 4.11 and detroit locker, etc... It is a fun little car to say the least. Something about the vintage sound of a big cam dumped before the axle and the feeling of every bump on the road through the terribly outdated suspension gives me a thrill!
