Well, the best I could find is a driving impression from TopGearUK here If it's like the previous WRX STi, it's sub 5 second 0-60, 1/4 mile if driven correctly with good tires (clutch roasting launch) is under 14. Somehow, I don't think we'll be getting DCCD either. Just like Mitsubishi deleted AYC & ACD from the Evolution.

The site says the DCCD will be on the STI.

What is DCCD?

Why did you show me this? Cars = more expensive OC addiction; something new every 6 months kinda like nVIDIA.

It definitely looks nice but a more powerful engine with more displacement and 70 extra horsies ... worth $6k+?

BTW I think the old headlights looked cool, but these are better IMHO.

From the site . . .

Our most performance directed All-Wheel Drive system featuring: Driver controlled center differential (DCCD), Suretrac limited slip front differential and mechanical rear limited slip differential.


Nice.

Driver Controlled Center Diff. You can adjust the amount of torque split from front to back.

You also get bigger brakes,wheels/tires,better interior, and the six speed tranny

I really wish I had a job.

 

[Dacalo]

oh great, this car is gonna make be so poor 🙂

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

$30K you say. Hmm, lets see. trade in my Spec and 240 and bike, I think i can do this.

 

[duragezic]

Damn, I need to change my underwear now! 😱 😉

 

[tigerbait]

how is the reliability on these WRX's ? I'm gonna buy a new car in the next few months, and currently, the Infiniti G35/Nissan 350z top my list. This looks sweet enough to add to the prospective wish list.

 

[optoman]

<- Thinks that this car will be hard to come by for at least a year and sticker will be at least the going rate.

 

[cjchaps]

Can't wait for all the magazines to do write-ups on the STi 😛

 

[spidey07]

I want one now. How do I buy one?

Must have now.

 

[NickCat]

If any of you guys are interested there is a good website to find out more about the STi.

300LB/ft of torque? That's only like, 5 more than my sub $20k car that I bought a year ago and only 160 less than the $31k one my brother in law just bought 😀

 

[cjchaps]

So you gotta lotta torque, what are you 0 to 60 and quarter mile times?
