Dude! My WRX wagon will smoke that! The sti is just stupid fast! LOL
I have a 2005 WRX Wagon. 2L turbo-charged. It's a super-light AWD speed demon! It can beat most cars on the street. Those that it can't beat, I just race on a rainy/snowy day. LOL

Well.. all I know is that it takes less clams to keep running than my Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep pieces of $hit from the past! I got tired of dumping money into my Jeep, then Dodge.

Switch is right...the WRX is MEAN....227 horses of turbo'd goodness...it will smoke you.
The new WRX STi's make me drool...are they still 300HP stock? I hear one of those scream by everyonce in a while...I love the sound of the waste gate when those things get going, and then the thunderous *ffffttttwhoooooooshhhhhh* of the blowoff valve when they upshift. *dddrrrrroooooooollllll*

I hear, that if I had a couple grand to blow, I could get my WRX up to about 340hp. I know the sti can be tweaked above 400!
All I know is my 227 is plenty in that little car... and you are right, 121, THEY DO SOUND SWEET!
:D
...and DAMN can they corner! I have done cloverleafs WAY above the normal speed limit! It beats the heck out of anything that 6 Flags has to offer. I have not had this much fun driving since I had a motorcycle!We bring evil things to evil people, kicking in a door near you!

Well,it was on tv... it must be right.
LOL
Do some research, Butter. Then, we can talk about it. Stock, there is no way. Maybe... MAYBE, with some serious mods. I know some WRXs and most STIs with stage 2 mods are unbelievable!
For WRX info, check out www.rexnet.com , www.wrxforum.com , www.clubwrx.net , and www.wrxlinks.com to mention a few. I know that there are some Evo numbers on there too.We bring evil things to evil people, kicking in a door near you!

hey man this was the discovery channel, not some podunk channel 4 news :D all I'm saying is I saw what I liked. (primarily it was the sticking of the ground during extremely high speed cornering-the computer control to not spin the car out even when only on 3 wheels) btw, I think if you were to read my title, I believe this is a euro version not a us version of the car. and unlike the other 'rich' cars like the lamb or the porsche it's only £46,999.
