hey sti-liger, is that the new 07 STI limited edition?

If it is then why is it 293 hp, 290 torque? when the 06 STI model is rated at 300 hp/torque. Isn't a newer model supposed to be faster than the previous one?

 

The way they test cars rated horsepower has been revised. Most Japanese cars went down in power and most American cars went up in power.

 

Congrats!!! I'm a former WRX and STI owner, but I converted to EVOness!!!

 

I was told by a Saleman (yes I know, his lips were moving ) that they did that for insurance reasons.

 

No, SAE Standards.

 

Um guys, that isnt an 07... look at the headlights, its an 04 sti that is wingless.. either way very nice ride bro, welcome to the boards.

 

Nice.

 

That looks like my garage
I can't sell my 02 WRX Wagon and plan to just keep it and mod it more in the future. I always thought that I would buy an Sti but was always interested in the Evo and went to go test drive one and as the story goes I bought my Evo the next day! I just couldn't believe how good the steering is on the Evo. I test drove an Elise the week before and all I can say is that the boys at Hethel England(Lotus) could learn a thing or two from Dr. Evo

 

Yeah, bouncing back and forth from the suby to the evo really highlights the evo's steering traits. When I drive the subaru, it feels as if it has a truck's steering ratio... and big steering wheel. It's funny that I used to think it had a great steering wheel and quick steering.

I almost bought a black Sti... but I went to the Mitsu dealership for a test drive... had the wife also drive the evo... and bought it the same day.

I need to get all the speed machines out in the sun for a better pic. Soon enough, I'll be towing the bike behind the suby across the country. The wagon is such a great sport utility vehicle.

 

I like my girls better...

 

no i just have a rs trunk on it for a more sleeper look, but the difference in the hp numbers is because the SAE.... the new 07's are already putting down serious amount of torque and horsepower on just a couple bolt-ons and a tune..we are all waiting to see what kind of times these cars are going to get so far it looks good
