Since you tend to keep your sports cars *fairly* stock, are you at least going to tweak up the WRX a little? I am thinking that opening up that exhaust a little will get that turbo to breathe a little more on the lower end. And surely someone will make an ECU soon to crank up the boost a pinch. You would think a few bolt ons would take it up to 275 or so without comprimising reliability.
Does it really snow much in New Bern? Or do you have a mountain getaway spot too?
