Default A day at the dyno ended with an 08 STi

So back in November of 07 I sold my 04 R32 for a 08 WRX .. I liked the car when i got it at first.. until i started driving it hard.. the 5 spd gear box is absolute junk. the breaks are terrible.. but I dealt with it cus of the low car payment.. Then i decided to dyno the car one day... ill let the video tell the rest of the story..

I meant to say 08 at 1:45..


Best move I ever did.. I love this car. I purchased the cobb access port and i cant believe how hard it pulls at 4k.. It weird because its almost the same car as the wrx but waaay different... I would have had to dump some much money into the wrx to get it to where the sti is stock..

04 R32


08 wrx

I've never noticed, but I think I like the WRX front bumper better and the mirrors w/o turn signals...whooda thunk it.

BUT, congrats on the STi. Good move!!
