Spoke to a Subaru salesmen about the 08 STi - Page 2

Did I hear a twin-scroll turbo?

07WRBSTI · 03-14-2007, 07:27 AM

Everytime I go to my dealership for oil change (lifetime powertrain if they service) I go look at the cars they have on the lot. The same a$$hat tells me about a guy who put a SPT catback on a STI and it added 45 HP and that the guy wants to go 0-60 in under 4 seconds. He then tells me that there was also a guy who ordered a 07 (which was me). To get him to leave me alone I ask him a question about an STI they have on their lot and then proceed to tell him all about it. I think this embarasses him, he feels bad and leaves me alone until I see him again in 6 weeks.

Cliff notes

Dealers are stupid (may be exceptions to the rule)

My Subaru salesman told me that the new STi will have 7 doors and 5 wheels. It will make 350 HP to all 5 wheels and be powered by bananas

Did you read the earlier posts in the thread???

When you did I am sure you notice that Xyloft mentioned that these vehicles are availabel in other markets and offered a video of a Forester SIi vs. an Impreza STI.

That answer your question?

cant trust what a retarded salesmen say

***Insane06STi*** · 03-14-2007, 10:01 AM

I want to be surprised

I hope for Subaru's sake the new STi has minimum 330hp seeing as everyone is expecting crazy numbers.

You did so. It's all speculation and conjecture at this point, fun though.

listen to salisbury.

That would be great, if in fact, the salesman was correct...but I will believe it when I see it in person!

***Datadatum*** · 03-15-2007, 05:27 PM

And wouldn't 340 be great by the new ASE standard? That's like 400 by the old standard. Or slightly less.

I always hate reading anything about the fictional Legacy STi. I am in the market now - but there is nothing out there for me now. I am a patient person, but waiting can be frustrating. I love my STi, but I am getting the itch for something different....

Sales guys never know anything. They are the wost ppl to ask about this stuff.
