Where did my reply go?

Its 265ps and 0-60 in 5.5 in standard trim, and 305ps and 0-60 in 4.9 with a PPP.

Thanks Disco.

Slower than my sti7 PPP then.
Subaru UK figures 0-60mph 5.2 secs
with PPP 0-60mph 4.64 secs

and in turn slower than my MY00 RA without a PPP chip just a JDM STi one

guv...

Yep they just seem to get slower and fatter. If we were to judge Subaru's against the old survival of the fittest evolution rule, I think the Scoobs would be as extinct as the dinosaurs.

Classic STi. Still the best IMO

daiscooby

STi4 Much quicker
Not that I do that sort of thing you understand

£1600 for 30bhp and 0.6 of a second gain on the 0-60mph, is it really worth it?

The PPP is more about the in gear acceleration, it is worth the money and having owned a 7 and progressing to the 8 the 8 feels much better

John,
£2000
Yes it is IMHO

1) Drivability
2) Full Warranty
3) Added value to car

Sti7 PPP

Try telling that to the STi7 owners

Chip

Why's that then.

STi8 is quoted as both 5.5 and 5.2 to 60 on the Subaru website/info (5.5 in the brochure bit and 5.2 under the PPP info),with the PPP version doing it in 4.6, which is also quoted by Autocar.

these are in fact the same as quoted by Subaru for the STi7 - both weigh the same, same power and gearboxes etc, so this would ssem to be right.

all for UK spec.

hope this helps.

I think it`s correct though that you can`t hit 60 in 2nd gear, so in a real would the cars are faster than the 0-60 time appears.

Is this true as I haven`t run mine in yet and haven`t had the chance to test this out.

PPPMAT

I've just bought an sti7, and I can't quite get to 60 in 2nd. Having owned a my02+ppp previously, I think that these 0-60 and 0-100 times as quoted aren't entirely accurate.

my sti7 feels v fast

Got an 8 and yeah it's a nice car but not enough grin factor for me, so px'd it for a P1

john coffey

The impression I get is that STi7 owners are losing money hand over fist in depreciation now that the new style 8 is out, plus the purchase price is a grand less so how you going to get your £1,600 back when you sell.
I can't see how you'll ever *add* value to a car by fitting a PPP, perhaps you may get 50% of your outlay back when you sell it but never more IMHO.

bigsinky

let me get this right you had an STI 8 but didnt like and part exchanged for a P1?

you must have more money than sense m8. how much did you lose on that if it is not to impertinent a question? and new STI 8 with PPP is pushin out 305BHP, how much of a grin factor do you want/need?

cheers

ice man

Yes I do have more money than sense

bigsinky

fancy lending me about 10k for a deposit on an sti8?

in white of course with gold wheels *looks over shoulder to see if plewis is about*

cheers
