This is at least some good news for those of us who wouldn't be caught dead in a hot hatch.
It's sad that there are a significant number of people who have the money to buy an STI and want the added performance but won't buy one just because Subaru won't make them as a sedan anymore |

I saw one when they still had street legal runs at the Pomona drag strip, when it pulled to the line I laughed. Then it made it's pass with a 60 year old guy behind the wheel and I almost crapped my pants.

The standard tune on the STI does not help either, while the 09 tune looks more aggressive. As an example, see screen capture below - were the STI has negative 6% boost compensation on until 44Kph, the 09 has none. Its easy to tune these out, but this is how it comes stock.

Like, "yeah, we sure shot ourselves in the foot by selling more cars than ever. We really shouldn't have made all this money." If only they'd givin us our damn fender flares, even if performance wasn't up to snuff. But hey, if we like the look of the older cars, we're still allowed to buy them. It's not like '06 is an old car. |

the tails on the wagons and sedans both suck balls the wagons look like big ricer tails i cant stand them!!
but i kinda do like the front of the WRX's/STi's, just the rear and the from the side it looks hidious almost like a mazda, and the new legacy's fronts look like a damn toyota.. get the guy who designed the 04-06 STi's and WRX's yeah the same guy who designed the Mclaren F'1s body style..

P.S. Another main difference between the sti/wrx is the intake manifold, when you go up to stage3 the sti produces more hp than trq compared to the wrx, more trq then hp, . Last edited by 08RalliTekSTI; 01-11-2010 at 11:26 PM. |
