IMO, if you want 12s, and an all around good car not only made for straight lines but for auto-x and daily driving then you'll need to invest a good $10k into the car. This is what my friend invest in his which runs low 12s. BUT he did do lots of work. H22, fully built from intake manifold to block, T3/T4 turbo, nitrous, full Type R conversion front and rear for 5 lug, coilovers, etc....etc....etc....damn hatch looks stock from afar but if you notice the little things...watch out. Visually all you see is Rotas, drop, and exhaust. Look inside, full roll cage, Sparco seats, full interior and carpet, then you got the 5 lugs and street slicks, beauty of an H22 sitting in the bay, nice NX bottle in the rear, super sweet ball bearing turbo up front, etc...it's going to cost.
that sounds like the worst autocross car I've heard of.
