WRX: 227 engine hp, 167 whp/167 (SCC, 6/02), Base MSRP=$24,520
RSX-S: 200 engine hp, 172 whp/124lb-ft (SCC, 6/02), Base MSRP=$23,670
Cheap Performance Gains:
WRX: Vishnu Stage Zero Kit, gain 41whp,33lb-ft Price=$1095
RSX-S: NOS 50-shot, gain ~50hp,60lb-ft, price=$516(nopi.com)
So in total:
WRX with 208whp/200lb-ft for $25,615.
or
RSX-S with ~220whp/204lb-ft for 24,186. Not to mention that you can still Turbo the RSX-s.
So, now which one would you choose?

Me? Probably a VW GTI 1.8l... $500 gets you a chip good for another 30-40whp.... all for under the base price of those modded cars
They're all a good choice though

The GTis are very nice also. I really liked the RSX, but it did not fit into our plans. I needed to put a child car seat in it and get the kid in and out easily. I went from a 2K Mustang GT to the Pro5.

See, perfect example of "to each his own" I don't like the looks of the WRX and do like the looks of the RSX-s. Granted, a base model RSX-s does have a chick look about it, but with a kit like the WW one, I think it looks mean as hell.
