Will I be dissapointed?

Well just like the title says... I am thinking of getting a 2000 2.5rs... I came from a 04 stage 2 wrx, 03 mustang GT, 2006 protuned stage 2 wrx, now in a 01 SVT cobra... (those are just the more recent cars i had!) i always have had quick to fast cars, now Im looking to sell the cobra get some money and pick up a 2.5rs.... will i be dissapointed with how slow it will be to me? If I would get one evnetually do a swap maybe but wouldnt be for years...
thanks!

Hmm... your incomplete list of cars includes a modded 2.0 turbo awd sports car, a probably modded v8 rwd sports car, a modded 2.5 turbo awd sports car, and a supercharged v8 rwd sports car. Unless you happen to have a sport bike or another fast ride to fulfill your need for speed, you'll probably be disappointed with the 2.5 rs. If your goal is simply to make a little extra cash from the sale of your Cobra, have a reliable dd that gets decent gas mileage and can get you through bad weather, then I guess you'll be ok.

Yea I had alot more cars then that lol. Around 20 of them haha ranging from 73 Mach 1 to big turboed dsm's. And to sport bikes in the mix. Dint think I had a car that would have went slower then 14's in the 1/4. So yea I'll be dissapointed. Just didn't know if it would get to the point to want to off my self lol. But well see I gots some thinkin to do! Thanks so far!!!

I'm disappointed every time I drive the wife's 09 2.5i Outback. I only drive it like once a month, but man is it slow. :-)
