Dude, is it an airplane with holes in the wings or a condom with a hole? Make up your mind.

Yes as a 2019 model. The Edge ST will EB 2.7 V6 with 335hp/385tq which is only marginally higher than the Edge Sport they already sell. Not sure if doing ST versions of everything is much different than Chevy doing SS everythings a few years ago. Or BMW doing an /$/M version of everything. If it adds power and tightens up sloppy pedestrian vehcioes, is it a bad thing?

Once it thaws out more and I find the time to get my suspension on, we should have some nice battles against WRXs and the Type R this year.
Dunno about color except not red. And probably not white. I love the blue, but they’re all blue and I’ve had a lot of blue cars.

Not bad for a turbo 4. Pretty quiet stock, but not as quiet as the FoST. The suitcase muffler box is 31 pounds, so it will go, but I’m not sure what will replace it.

Our friend that makes his living selling us this stuff didn’t know what to tell me to get today. Was hoping to give him credit card number, find some boxes at my house a little while later, and then find out what I spent when I got my next statement, but it’s not going to be that easy. I’m going to have to do some research, narrow things down, buy a few things and then develop over the season with him driving the car some.
