I agree with you on styling but nothing else.
Btw I forgot to put in my last post, another pro for the sti. It has (by far) the best exhaust notes of any 4 cylinder engine.
sorry to keep this thread going.

but one thing. this is a place where you will find LOADS more information on Subaru's than you will here---->http://www.nasioc.com
but a tip, don't just go on and ask questions. you thiink people flame here. 90% of car forums on the interweb don't even compare to that place. it's pretty crazy

RE: wrx sti??
dude, wrx and wrx sti's can't get over 500whp without blowing trannies.... had a buddy that made his wrx hit 500 bought 2 trannies, then he bought a sti bought a tranny..... then he got a ws6
on the awd scale i thought audi was 1 suby was 2?
and i have a buddy with a wrx he said clutches are an issue too
not to say all good about audi cause we all know their problems, but if i was buying a lower end hp car i would get an a4 over a rex and if i was buying a higher end powered car i would get a 2.7t over a sti
now throw a evo 8 or even 8 in that mix and it is a toss between the 2.7t and the evo...... but that is my 2 cents
and apparently the "chase" car the stage 3 apr gli would romp both those cars at the track.... but we all know quattro will win in the twisties... even with the upgraded suspension on both

i would pick a 2.7t also but not cause its faster (cause its not even close to an sti) i would pick it cause its worth more $. then i could sell it, buy an sti, and still have money left over for a few years of insurance.
like i said before, you can argue styling all you want and ill agree with you, but performance and reliabilty....sorry

RE: wrx sti??
i am not saying 500hp is a little, but you look all over this board, az, any forum on the web, and guy after guy is trying to get the most out of thier car and most people don't realize how much junk a wrx's tranny is

RE: wrx sti??
jonus, do you have any experience with the 2.7t engine? cause it sounds like no..
the B5 S4's(with OEM RS4 turbo's)put up numbers between 350Awhp and 450Awhp all day long. with little to no issues..
and a chipped S4 pulls pretty hard on an STi and Evo. 2.7t's are beasts if done up right... there's plenty putting down over 600Awhp too. just so you know

and btw 600hp? thats funny i see sti's with similar of greater figures all the time.
i already had to replace the transmission in my STOCK a4 with STOCK hp. if the six speed is anything even close to the 5spd im not buying it. in fact it wouldnt suprise me if they used the same or a similar case as they use the same engine blocks for the 2.8l as the 2.7lt.
bottom line, 2.7t.....nothing special.
