Your answer....
2.5 STI PPP 316 BHP 332llbs 0-60 - 4.8 0-100 - 12.2 30-70 - 4.7 2.5 WRX PPP 266 BHP 310 llbs 0-60 - 5.3 0-100 - 14 30-70 - 5.2 |
Makes good reading, utter fiction in reality :) Most PPP WRX's don't make anywhere near 261bhp as claimed, mine certainly didn't and nor did my mates :) When questioned the dealer wasn't that excited about the PPP either :lol1:
Generic maps FTL :) |

So a Blob WRX PPP does the same 0-60 as a 2.5 STi PPP:lol1:
Must be a Prodrive masterpiece the blob WRX PPP, have Prodrive come up with anything quicker since then???:wonder: I find them surprising too bearing in mind the extra torque of the 2.5. Maybe the hawkeye is heavier? Just a guess |

why would you assume that?
An STi will be cheaper to insure than a WRX with retro fitted parts to get to the 'same' spec :) |
I would love to get a Spec D STI but the weak engines going pop means that a WRX would be the only consideration. Not much point in having the go faster version when it's sitting stationary on the hard shoulder.
|
I think I am right in saying the STI wont reach 60 in second gear whereas the WRX will so that's why the WRX is quicker on paper due to one less gear change?

Generic maps FTL :) As for 0-60 I can imagine both are about 5.5 in standard trim with an actual 261bhp WRX making the STI wish it could trade its 265bhp enabling gearbox, block and brakes for a jet engine... I rolling roaded my PPP at AET and found it gave 187.3 at the wheels. After a remap I got to the prophesied 260bhp and I've yet to see an STI, mainly classics, get within 30 yards of my car when I'm up to the legal limit. :notworthy |

The 2001-2005 Newage WRX wasn't allowed to challenge, or surpass for that matter, the STI, the PPP figures were closer to 225 than 261 and the Cat up-pipe might as well be known as an 'STI blush saving device.'

who are you trying to convince?? my mrs has a wrx mapped to nearly 280bhp and my sti will destroy it on road and drag strip, we even have a video.

I had a blast from the lights with a classic STI once and I was gone, must have been a 60 foot lead within seconds, then all of a sudden I approached 3rd, it felt like slow motion and I could actually hear his Turbo spool up from quite a distance behind. I presume after a casual launch his 2nd gear was coming to life, it must have been huge but deadly laggy. He was certainly coming, but luckily the road ran out. :luxhello: |

the longer gearing to get to 60 in 2 gears rather then three mean nothing in the real world. |

It'll feel slower because of the long ratios and it's heavier. Trust me it'll hurtle to 60 if you are brave with the revs and change smooth into 2nd.

thats the comedy point here, even at the same power the sti is still faster.

Seriously though when I first got the WRX I thought it was very slow, I was launching at 3k and changing at 6k. Everything spanked me, in a last desperate bid I launched against an STI at 5k and changed at 7,200 and it was a revelation.
Then you know what came? |
