yous all dont no wat yous are talking about this car has the lastest features it would smoke a ferarri f50 like it was nutthing :D

Ferrari F50 : It accelerates to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, and covers the 1/4 mile in 12.1 @122mph ...

WRX 2.5L 2008 :0-100km/h secs = 5.4 sec , quarter mile -

WRX - mixed results 14.1 to 14.3 94mph

WRX STi - 13.4 at 100.5 mph, other real tests have shown 13.3 @102-103mph

Basically no matter what other figures you can find, there isnt a subaru street car released to a domestic market that runs 12's stock.

Can the sti pull 12.0 to beat the ferrari with minimal modifications, yes sure, no requirement to change turbo even though it will be close to maxxed and producing a lot of excess heat, still require a few essentials ecu upgrade,clutch & exhaust to name the least.

Please do some homework before making rash comments on a forum. I prefer to use forums to find real data, it really hurts when I find conflicting data and then wonder what is really real.

Hey Impulse. Not arguing with you at all. The F50 will wipe a STI who's trying to compare these 2 cars, lol

But I have a DVD at home where a WRX STI Spec-C RA (jap spec) stock runs a 12.2 then a 12.3 1/4 mile stock. And I have seen many videos where stock Jap Spec STI's running 12.5 to 12.9.

I think the power of the Spec C is 250KW has 450NM torque and weighs 1300kg's. It keeps up with supercars around race tracks proven in a video I habe at home.

You can’t keep a secret these days; a member of the NASIOC forum has posted what seems to be a leaked memo from Subaru of America towards the company’s dealers revealing scorching details on the 2009 Subaru Impreza. The most important news is that the 2009 Impreza WRX gets a significant boost with the revised 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer engine delivering an estimated 265 Hp. That’s an additional 41 ponies over the 2008 Impreza WRX’s 224 Hp engine (pictured above).

Furthermore, the paper says that the 2009 WRX will only be available with a manual transmission and that changes include an upgraded suspension, an STI-type front grille, a standard aero package, new gray color on the alloys and a new interior treatment with red stitching on the steering wheels and seats. -Continued

And while those who bought a 2008 Impreza WRX with a manual gearbox will probably be feeling something like a chick with last year’s hairdo, owners of the automatic version should feel better knowing that Subaru will replace the 2008 Impreza WRX Auto with the Impreza GT that retains the same 224 Hp 2.5-liter turbo boxer.

Other changes in the refreshed 2009 Impreza include the addition of the moonroof in the premium package and a few updates in the interior trim.
