but its been repeated over and over, the STANDARD new age WRX is NOT that fast out of the box and MOST modern HOT HATCHES can easily keep up with them, even back in 2000 with my classic in standard form, i had a civic vti all over the back of me, standard v standard, and classics are lighter! (160bhp v 215bhp)

Ah right, you have to get the things moving first! So, 0-60 your going to get spanked and then the peugeot, once its got moving, with less bhp is going to catch up with the WRX.

I would say the 08 WRX (S-GT) is much more watered down than the outgoing 07 WRX and gap between WRX and STi's growing IIRC
The 08 WRX with the twin scroll turbo and Variable quad Cam timing is far more tunable
with a few slight chaissis mods, 18" wheels and a Remap WILL totally transform the Car
Hopefully trying the STi Monday at Litcfields will let you all know what i think then same it's not back to back with the UK version though
whoops back on topic I heard late summer for the Spec C but as Tony says more likely to tie into the new jap Model year ... so October
IMHO

Back to OP and reality..!
Do the new hatch JDM WRX's (none STI) come in different versions (S-GT)..?
I would say the 08 WRX (S-GT) is much more watered down than the outgoing 07 WRX and gap between WRX and STi's growing IIRC

I was down at Litcho's today and test drove the new sti after Jap preformance magazine had finished with it having only seen pictures of it all I can say is they have got a cracking little package there,seemed to do everything it says on the tin after driving it around ian's test track(backroads) funny thing about it as far as I am aware Ian has the only sti one in the country at the mo but traveling back up the motorway I passed one which I presume must have been one from prodrive, honestly anybody that gets a chance to drive it will be very suprised.
