my boss has an 08 Sti with MRT ecutek chip and full turbo back exhaust

you would have to pour a lot of money into a R32 GTR to keep up with this thing

mind you all up hes spent about 90 grand on the car just with these two mods and purchase price. pour 90 grand into a GTR and you have one serious machine

i reckon stay tuned for the WRX in the next 2-3 years.

the brand new 09 "Sedan" and "Hatch" WRX ($39,990) is already quicker out of the box than every single sti up to 2008 model (0-100 5.3 seconds STOCK). and it has the same suspension as the 08 Sti.

in a few years when subaru make their car finally look right the base model WRX will be the car to buy. and it will be dirt cheap too for a brand new performance car.

If your boss paid 80K for the STi which looks like a hair dressers car - FAIL!

Jeremy Clarkson drove the new STi (08) on Top Gear, he bagged the hell out of it. Said it looked crap and didnt handle much better. He said the evo 10 runs rings around it, he then did dougnut rings around the STi which was parked, it was a crack up!

Other driving tests showed that some drivers thought the new WRX was not as good as an EVO X but then when the times were tested the new WRX was doing better!

Top gear's a great show but its not the ultimate show for car comparisons, there's plenty of bias on the non-driving side of the car :)

yeh i was going to say Top Gear is definetely not a show to be basing every opinion on. you really need to make them for yourself.

iv driven my boss's sti. its fkn hauls ass. does low 4 second 0-100 times. its making 240kw at all 4 wheels !!!

and the 08 Sti also beat the evo 10 around the Top Gear track. so who cares. im not saying i like it. but i will tell you this.

it goes like the wind with the chip and exhaust it is extremely quick.

i still wouldnt buy one.

Ive had a go of the new evo ix on a skidpan and well, the subaru couldnt be much worse in the understeering department. Other than that its a great car

As far as that actual subaru vs an r32 gtr - id be *very* suprised if i couldnt put a few car lengths on him by 3rd/4th, or even 2nd depending on standing start/roll on.

I've had both a GC8 V6 Sti Four Door and an R32 GT-R. The GT-R is 5 seconds a lap faster for less money - and more reliable as everything is off the shelf. 1/4 mile times would be the same, GT-R would be a flat 11 and the Sti mid to low 12's - no contest.

STi's came in a V6?

lol @ the biased opinions on here.

Assuming both cars are stock, you're should get done on paper, but as is often the case, it will come down more to the skills of the driver than the abilities of the car. If you know your shit, you may well knock him off. Dial up some serious revs off the line...

If you're in Adelaide by any chance, let me know if he ends up beating you and I'll come round and tear him a new arsehole in my car lol. Nothing worse than a cocky Subaru owner...

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
