/\/\ Yep

Can't understand why they sell that faster STI in Japan and we get a different STI??

[gis]

ive no idea either.its why i think the WRX is better value for money,with the PPP the WRX is like 261hp which in a straight line i think makes the WRX faster than a stock STI due to it bein a slight bit lighter.

Yep, I recently spoke to someone who was thinking of buying the new Impreza. The WRX is 39.000 Euros and the STI is 51.000 Euros!!! :shock:

Why not just buy the WRX, make it look like a STI with some options and then tune it yourself :bah:

There are a number of things you get on an STi which are worth the price over a WRX - 6-speed, DCCD, Brembos, stronger engine internals and a bigger turbo.

It all depends on budget and what you're after, I've just bought a new turbo for my WRX since the standard TD04 was reaching its limit.....if I had an STi I could probably keep going with the stock turbo.

I think I said it in the thread about my car, but I'm happy I bought a WRX and can now make it individual with the money I saved rather than getting an STi and keeping it stock as I spent too much on the base car. For what I use my car for its more than capable, an absolute blast to drive and will stay with a stock STi as it is at the moment.....give me 3 weeks and it won't see which way I went.

/\/\ Mm interesting Dingo!

But at least you can vouch for the thought that its better to go for the WRX and then mod it yourself

But we'll see in 3 weeks

exactly,its why i like dingo's WRX on here and with his next set of mods will be faster than an STI and still be under the cost altogetehr of what a stock STI costs.
