wrx's are lighter also... i was surprised at the speed of the wrx... having been in a older wrx (2003).. my friend in his mk4 supra with 550 rwhp started doubting his car lol.. his car was obviously faster, but the wrx feels very exciting as well.

Stock '03? They're slow. 😛
 
Update:

Took delivery earlier this week of '12 STI Limited. Babying it until the 1k mile break-in is going to be painful. 🙁

I can feel the monster waiting to be let go.

edit:

And it's rained every damn day since I picked it up, including pouring down while completely sunny as I finished the paperwork. Otherwise, I'd have pics 🙂

1: Find a dealership ok with mods (check nasioc)
2: get a cobb AP, and flash to the stage 1 map (with the right fuel map, 91, 93 91acn, ect)
3: Enjoy about 30 more whp and smoother power delivery (and reliability)


edit: after your break-in period.
