There's no new numbers because there's no 2007 Evo. Here's a dyno comparison done by Motor Trend. Interpret this as you want. The IXs are supposed to be even stronger.

It goes that way on any website. People make claims, and then they refuse to post the results for fear that their "knight in shining armor" may be defeated.

It happens here, as well as on any F-body, GTO, Corvette, Viper, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, Subaru, Nissan, etc. site.

Visit a Lamborghini or Ferrari forum and you'd probably find the same kind of crap. The only difference is that their cars are 10x's as expensive as ours.

 

Definitely bro, or it could by that I'm just a brand ***** when it comes to wheels.
I can totally understand if they're bought for a reason (track wheels, winter wheels) but damn, its fugly. I need to stay off Nasioc for a while... too many punk *** WRX owners..lol

 

NUTSAC (NASIOC) absolutely sucks. Each and every time I read anything off of that site, I log off the computer feeling dumber.

 

I always thought the site was called NASTYCOCKS (NASIOC). Go Figure...

 

Eh, that works too!

 

Nabisco has a bunch of flamers bro. When I had my Sti I absolutely dreaded getting on there unless I was looking for some install help. IWSTI is a much better crowd.

On a better note, my IX is faster and quicker stock for stock then my 05 Sti, and the previously posted area under the curve says it all...

 

NUTSAC does suck. It's without a doubt one of the worst automotive forums on the Net, yet for unknown reasons magazies and other publications seem to hold them in high regard.

I've found that www.subytech.com, www.wrxtuners.com, or www.clubwrx.net seem to be the best ones.

 

You're bound to run across craptastic boards but that board seriously takes the cake. Fanboys overpopulate that board and it seems that every thread I've seen has to include bashing on some other car. Hell they even pick on the plain jane WRXs at times.

 

Yes, that board most definitely is craptastic. They're not the WRXs they pick on, they're the STis/STIs! Yep, that's right. The plethora of the "The WRX is a better value for the money than an STi/STI is!" is running wild. I guess it doesn't cost much to upgrade a chassis, brakes, suspension, motor, transmission, turbo, AWD setup, forged wheels, performance tires, etc.

If one were to purchase a WRX, which I seriously considered doing, and then upgrading most of the parts, I would have surpassed the cost of what an STi/STI would've cost to begin with. Not to mention, once I reached performance levels of a STOCK STi/STI, that WRX would've become quite expensive to modify beyond that.

NUTSAC is home to a bunch of ex-Honda drivers. Nearly the entire population of members on that site are ricers. I went to a NUTSAC meet last October and it was nothing more than a bunch of teenie-boppers with their underage girlfriends sitting in the parking lot of a pizza place revving their motors at eachother to see whose car could shoot the biggest flame out of the exhaust. I really want the 40 miles and gas back that I wasted driving to and from that ridiculous little uh......whatever it was.

 

Only the really cool people sit there revving at each other

The STi/Evos are really a huge bang for the buck in my opinion. There are a bunch of people always bringing up the price of each vehicle as a means of bashing. "Well my _____ was 10K less than your car and with that money, I could buy a turbo kit and kick your car's a$$." That's super. Now go get some Brembos, Recaros, an AWD system, BBS/Enkei wheels, max performance tires, and better cooling for your engine and tell me how much it cost. Impossible to pull it off with 10K.

 

I've heard that they addressed what (IMO) is the biggest problem with the STi for 2007. They adjusted the gearing. The fact that the 04-06 cars had to go to fifth gear in the quarter mile was a bad thing. I think they'll be a lot nicer with the revised ratios! I can't wait to drive one.

 

The STi Imprezas are badass. If I could afford both I'd probably own a STi too. Not a lot of us are ballers out there and making change like that so we have to choose from two great cars. If the MR was out (damn Mitsubishi) in May 2003 I would have had one of those instead of my "GSR" 8.

 

Ain't that the truth. I get the whole, "Well, I could go out and buy X for X amount of money and kick your car's ***!" That's great, but does yours come with a warranty?

 

I have a 572whp STI and a 320whp Evo and I still like my Evo better. The STI will stomp just about anything on the road, but my Evo talks to me and I feel like I am part of it. The STI was not ment for me... which is why I am probebly gonna sell it.



Anyway, the HP revision doesn't mean much for me. I am much more into WHP.
