The MY03 is apparently a weapon compared to the older version... Motor ran 14.1 from memory, as oppposed to what.. 15x for the last one?? Higher compression in the new model and a few differences...

5.3 I think I heared doing 0 to 100kmph

the latest motor mag had the MY03 STi up against the new Turbo Falcon, came out really, really close. Of course they said the WRX still rules the twisties, but in terms of speed, very evenly matched. And apparently the new STi has exact same turbo as the Evo. Anyways, they did say it was quite an improvement.

All i know is that the new WRX has finally got the Jap-spec engine. But i think it was only 9kw's more or something like that.

as for potential...........don't have a clue!

also in the motor mag, possibilities of a 5.0ltr V10 BMW M5......yes please!! :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

all WRXs lack potential from what the AVO boss states in comparison to something like an EVO or Line... which are his prefered cars are for moding... then again that was before the new one was released, but i doubt that they changed the internals that much.

yeah...the new WRX looks pretty much standard fare. The front I like more - back to a more agressive feel.

In fact i'm getting very sick of looking at them on the road, there is only so much people can do to them looks wise. Give me an R34 GT-T for the price anyday..

here is a pic for those curious

It was just the normal WRX, not the sti. The sti would have kicked the falcons butt to japan and back:) .

From wheels mag: 168Kw and 300Nm. [previously 160kw and 292nm]

Better looks? That is a matter of taste, wheels mag seem to think its much better than the last model...

Subaru claims:

0-100kmh: 5.7 secs. [previous model tested by wheels @ 7.5]

0-400m: 13.9 secs. [previous model tested by wheels @ 15.3]

This is for the stock wrx not sti - look out :eek: though i doubt you could reproduce those figures on the street [so to speak].
