R32 Gtr Vs Gc8 Sti

[GTNWET]

has any one seen them both have a run

me mates got a GC8 STI and hes kind of getting a big head

[DrewII]

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

[bnr#@]

A standard GTR on a qtr SHOULD be faster then a standard STI assuming the driving is spot on and the car is in good health

15k for and exhaust and 15k for a flash tune???

somebody saw him coming...

[DrewII]

he paid bit over 80 grand for the 08 sti full spec with the sat navigation etc etc

and paid about 7 grand for ecutek, zorst and deceptor bov. definetely not cheap.

[ron]

Zebra, its MRT we r talkin here. any money is possible i guess. : )

I drove the new WRX, not STI. they also r very fast and handle unbelievably well, depite their ugly shape!

[DrewII]

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.

What year / model GC8 STi is it he's got?

[Bakes]

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

[DrewII]

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.

[Bakes]

I dont need Top Gears opinion, I just have to look at the 08 WRX/STi - Ugliest car on the street, huge FAIL

[N1GTR]

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.

[N1GTR]

Side note though: Just like his car, mines not 100% stock

[BBGTR]

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?

[Count Grantleyish]

STi's came in a V6?

He mustv'e meant Verison 6.

Ah ok, I see.

Yeah, I had a look at these two pics and they actually look quite similar.

[Iron Chef]

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...
