Hello all!
This post is mainly a request from the guy(s) who own an Impreza WRX, but anyone who feel they are _absolutely sure_ can answer ![]() I'm unsure about the differences of the two cars (WRX and WRX STi). Also, what differences came from year 2000-2005 models? Because some say the 2001 STi have 280 bhp, while other say 220 bhp.. And the new 05 STi is 245 bhp, to my knowledge. This might be different in Europe/Asia/USA though.. Post what car your information comes from please. According to autority sources the GT-Four is _not_ street legal in Norway, even though a few people have them. My best bet at getting a new Celi is then to get a "regular" SS-III (beams, 197 bhp front wheel drive). I want 4WD for my next car, so that kinda leaves the Celi unavailable :/ I have hear alot of bad about the quality of Mitsubishi Evo, so that car is also out of the question. Then you have the older Eclipse with 4x4 and turbo, but those are starting to get kinda old. It all boils down to the Impreza, and then I atleast want the regular 125 bhp 2.0 litre car. But I would love the WRX (hence my wondering.. What are the differences between the regular WRX and the MUCH more expensive STi). If I do get the regular WRX (if different or not), could I still use all of the STi mods available? Or are the two cars so different that they use another exhaust system, electronics, suspension setup or whatever? Reviews state that both cars are pretty fast, but that is seen from a regular daily driver kinda view, and that's not the same as to say it is a fast car ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

The STi is a little quicker in a straight line and the Evo has better times on the track and dirt, now when you start talking JDM or Euro it's another story there is the Spec C and FQ300 and since the Spec C is basically a stripped STi it outdoes the FQ300 in every catagory, personally if I had the choice and $50,000 USD (both cars are around that price, sad that you pay an extra $20,000 for some tuning and less options on the C) I would choose the FQ300 since I enjoy my stereo and A/C and there are other ways to fill the couple of seconds gap with the Spec C.
