its not bad, but the 5EAT is SOOOOOOOO much better than the 4EAT. the 5EAT is just a lot more sporty-feeling and smoother/refined. its hard to compare because my LGT is modded and the FXT feels slow to me. i know the FXT is fast, but it doesn't feel as fast as the WRX did, because you don't get the boost explosion - the FXT has smoother acceleration.

a stage2 treatment would fix that up, though.

the FXT ECU seems even more adaptive than the WRX - it felt REALLY slow after driving it home (1 hour highway trip), so i disco'd the battery gnd for a few minutes to reset the ECU, and it was a different car after that.
