other than all the obvious bs and my dislike for the look of wrx's the major question is what are you gunna do with it?

the gtr is a bigger stronger and heavier car that can seriously move while the wrx is a nimble Fing little thing that can do some serous cornering (tho id rather an evo)

me id pay off a serious chunk of the mortgage but ive got a track car in the shed so

if it has to be a 4 door, 2.0L, smallish car

FIXED, besides, some Cefiro's came in AWD too, if traction is what you want.

Please die! :)

Lets face it, apart from the GTR in mention, there are way too many R33s running around...theyre becoming the Commodore - something different?

No, IMO its no longer an import if you can walk out your front door and go find one in a non HPV car yard.

Reckon this guy is starting to get the feeling that the WRX isnt liked around here much ?

Yeah I know it LOOKS like that...it's just that we 33 owners drive around ALOT (because our cars are just SO great) so it just LOOKS like there are more 33's about than there really are. :)

Anyway at least it means parts are forthcoming etc.

BTW I see WAY more Imprezas about. Now they are common.

Does that mean Commodores are the greatest car ever? seing as there are more of them than any other car on the road ? :) no, it means theyre cheap, and for knuckleheads.

Hahah, just kidding. I dont exactly hate the R33, I just think theyre the least appealing, and too many of them...I reckon Japan would take some back if we offered.

So, you're comparing a NON-STI to... not only a GTR but a GTR V Spec...that make the battle even more unfair. Disregarding such obvious advantages is like being stubborn and insisting your Civic runs 11 seconds without NoS...only in the movies buddy :(

Other pro's / cons:

Probably just as cheap to insure and run the GTR

Better response from 6 cylinders, and displacement

AWD system is much better

You'll probably find more support (and social acceptance) for the GTR on forums

EDIT:

Of course, this is all assuming you want power and performance, not hair gel and nasal delivery....

true... i see shit loads of imprezas on the road.. and i drive around alot.... they are nothing special..

i think the OP should have got his answer by now...

4cyl 2.0L single turbo vs 6cyl 2.6L twin turbo

id pick the gtr .. its got more power...looks better... and u dont have to like it in the bum to own one.

To everyone saying WRX's are slow, did anyone see [GTR ETA] at powercruise? Because im sorry to say, but that was owning everything until it got engine knocks...

That said, WRX's are still gay and the GTR wins hands down :D

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
