I love the I6 and all but I think a boxer 4, (Sti motor) would really show what the E30 chassis is truly capable of.

Why not just get the sti CAR and blow the e30 off the road??

STi is AWD I believe... but I'd still just stick to RWD.

the STI is all wheel drive but it has an active biased differential where you can change power between all 4 wheels, front or rear in simplest terms

It wont be all fwd or rwd I think the most it can go is 70 to 30. Any ways STI's are gay and a wast of money. Get an LS1!

BTW thats a 3.0L Formula 1 V10.
