Umm you are forgetting something. The GD wrx has the TD-04 turbo. This does not, it has something larger, so take that 500 bucks and throw a reflash on this wrx and it will have the old reflashed wrx in its rearview mirror.
For how many more thousands will an 02-08 owner have to pay to get one of these instead? I wasn't really talking about new owners. Just current WRX owners have no reason to complain.
you can easily bump a TD04 40 hp. Just turn up the boost. 19psi w/ a TD04 should be somewhere around the 220 mark at the wheels. Do the math.
The previous generation impreza outback sport shares the body with an Impreza wagon. The new impreza outback sport shares the body with the new STI...
Then you will be finished at the point the new car starts at. Add the $500 to the new car and you will probably gain more than 40hp since the turbo is larger. How much higher than a GD would that put you?
Exactly, and I bet that they added bigger injectors and fuel pump, so along with being able to pump up the boost, and with more cfm, the fuel system will allow for further improvements.
AMen to that brotha
I agree. I am not a fan of the new look, and my wife just despises it. Im just happy subaru is stepping it up a bit. They have not done anything but facelifts and left the performance basically the same for the last 6 years. Also adding summer performance tires is going to make it look golden in the mag reviews. It always got killed because of the RE-92's.party in the back. business in the front. that is, my friend, why sti is a wagon now.
personaly in few years i want a subaru hatch. maybe 2.5rs would be fine. just for daily commute and a nice family car
