Maybe Subaru put just a bit more effort to modify it to STI? And don´t get confused, I´m not much into these plastic bullets.
What does sti need to go faster? a chip?
I´m just glad my -66, and yes, even my -66, can whip both of their asses...
How do you shave 1000 pounds of a Tank size new mustang... I mean easily?
EDIT: Almost forgot. Which of these cars had a functioning hood scoop???  |
That price for the new STI is kinda high, but the WRX, at least up to 07, is a great bang for the buck if you want to mod it later.
I had an 02 WRX 5 speed. With a header, a laptop, and a OBDII cable I ran 13.28 @ 104mph. A grand total of $300 in parts, if you already have a Windoze computer. Through the stock muffler, and stock turbocharger, and the 2.0L four that none STI's came with until 2006.
With an $800 turbo, and a dremel to mod the injectors, 11's are possible with the same gas mileage and street manners.
I could regularly knock out 25mpg, and it was pretty easily driven in all weather (snow, rain, ect).
The weakest link was the transmission, which was known to eat gears (T-5, anyone?) when the abuse/power levels rose.
WRX's are like an AWD Foxbody with better gas mileage...except less common.
So, I know we love to slam imports here, but some of them are worth a moments notice...or at least watching yourself at the stoplight.
