Not to rain on your parade, but your WRX (or another one w/ a 5-speed ) would be cheaper to build for the track than a Turbo-II unless you plan on dropping a Chevy 350 in the RX-7. Them rotors are expensive, especially in high horsepower race trim!! A turbo EJ20 will put out more power for cheaper in the long run.
Damn you. You burst my bubble. I actually love the look of the rx7- turbo II though. I wasn't planned on a engine drop, just using the stocker. Guess I should research more about the car first hand.

I do want a track dedicated vehicle though, incase of a break-down or down-time with parts I still have my daily driver. If I get the 2005 Legacy turbo, I don't think I will autox it or even mod it much. That might be different if I end up with a STi. No clue yet till I get to test-drive the legacy.
