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...

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.

      1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
