Yeah the '98 RS200 had the 3SGE and 6 speed, but it is kind of old. There is a major difference with the RS and STi, the RS sounds quick but a Celica GT could take one pretty easy, I ran a friends RS in a '02 Lancer OZ and kept up the entire time and those only have 120 hp, STi's biggest drawback is the US version uses the same 2.5 but mod it so it's a little stressed, if they bring the EJ20 version over then it's a deal.
