If the horsepower rating has changed,,,,,, wouldnt they be able to get some money back from subaru like the mazda guys did with the rx-8,,,, or was it another car?

I know some car company had to give thier customers back money , and or extend their warrenty for over rating the power of the car.

Or is this just because of the new system they are rating hp numbers these days?

You are correct, it was the RX-8:

I'd say it's quite the sleeper. Better watch out.

I want those calipers.

It wont have a FMIC because of the location of the turbo. I heard that if you put a FMIC on an sti it causes some major turbo lag because of the long IC pipes.

I actually like this better than the regular STi. I've never liked the STi box wing anway. The interior treatment looks down right nice, much better than the blue stuff! Looks like Subie did a very good job with this one, an STi for the M3 crowd per se.

The Suby salespeople will have a hard time explaining the decrease in power from earlier models to their customers.

Being an 05 sti owner, I like the changes they made, including the interior, no wing and the new color for the brake calipers. I'm trying to go wingless, but can't find anyone to trade trunks with me. The only thing I don't like are the wheels. Didn't like the looks of the bbs and I don't like the looks of those wheels also. They need to go with a five/six spoke design on the wheels. However, the 293, 290 hp/tq ratings is quite interesting. Subaru prides themselves on the 300/300 thing found in all of their advertising. Should be interesting to see when everyone switches to the new hp rating thing, I know the honda s2000 went down 3hp (I know, not alot.)
