It's a good idea to post first. I take it you haven't driven it yet, as you would already own it.

i might as well be the one to say it... if you want strasight line power, you're looking at the wrong car, if you want a car that will give you the chills every time you drive it because it's so amazing... BUY AN MSP! (not too many people understand that, because nowadays 1/4 mile is JDM tYtE yOoO)

I my self love the MSP and I will keep it forever. Even if I want another car in a couple of years I think I will still keep the MSP. I just love driving it. As for problems, I have had none, I know some people have had problems and I feel bad for them, I do not wish that on anybody.
Go for a test drive, you will see. When I bought this car I test drove all of them, Dodge, Subaru, Evo, Nissan,and a lot of others and I came to the conclusion $ for $ I liked the MSP. I did want the Evo just could not swing it.
To each his own.

Sultros, where do you live? What color Speed are you looking at? Any details on the car?

If you want a straight line car the MSP will hold it's own....contrary to popular belief.

I was lucky enough to test drive an SRT, R32, and MSP in one saturday morning. 2 weeks later the MSP was gone and I was searching all over for another one. After another month of searching I owned one. The srt is a beast, but simply not as fun as the MSP as everyone hear knows. The R32 was just awesome but couldn't throw down 30k on a golf, maye after resale drops a little.

If it is the one from columbus, ga and it is orange, watch out because it is a lemon....it has gone through 2 transmissions and 3 engines so far......The body is 100% top notch though, it has cf exhaust so you can easily tell if it is the one i am talking about....
