IMO Go w/ the WRX... you can make it a lot faster than a RSX will ever be for just a few thousand. They can actually take more boost than a stock blocked STI believe it or not... the weak point will be the tranny on the WRX once you get near 300 WHP.

Both honda and subaru make good cars, I own an STI and I'm on my fourth Honda in the form of an 03 SI hatchy, which is really a distant cousin of the RSX. I don't think you'll really regret either choice.

 

ehh.. IMO alot of people look for the wrong things when they're considering a car... ie: which would be faster in the 1/4 mile? Do you live your life 1/4 at a time? Do you base your selection solely on a number someone posts on some forum? Most important thing is test drive both, see how you like both cars to their purpose... who knows?
