Additional US STi specs

Still no weight listed. At least we now know the bore and stroke (99.5 x 79 mm). The 2.0 is 92 x 75 mm. Among other things.
Went looking for a good picture of the RE070 and found this:

since they're summer tires, it looks like i'll be buying a second set of rims for winter M&S tires. there's $2000+ to add to the price of the car.

Those will likely be the tires. But for snow tires and rims, $2000 is a little much. You can get a set of Sport Edition Fox 2's with Dunlop M2's in 225/45-17 for $1084 plus shipping from Tire Rack. Put the same tires on Prodrive P1's and you're still only looking at $1404.

What's the widest tire size that can fit properly?
I have a question about gear ratios. It says in the new specs that the final drive ratio is 3.9 and the first gear is 3.636. When someone says that they are putting in, say 3.73 gears in a mustang, does the 3.73 mean the first gear ratio or the final drive ratio? And will the Sti ratios change, cause it didnt look like they had a ratio for the 6th gear...

the gear ratios you are referring to in the STI would be in the tranny I believe. When I had my Chevelle way back when, I would say "I have a 4.11 posi rear end", that is the gear ratio in the rear differential, NOT referring to the gear ratios in the tranny as I believe you are referring to with the STI.

Anything you would have changed in the STi?
gotcha, thnx for clearin that up, so do we know the rear differential ratio for the Evo or the Sti? It would seem since the Sti has the 6-speed that they could put a taller gear ratio in for even BETTER acceleration...

Umm, so this shows the Suretrac Front Differential. Good stuff, if it really is going to come with that- then there is NOTHING that the Japanese STi comes with that this does not.
This quite possible will make this Impreza the Holy Grail of Impreza's and drop the 22b out of that honor.

I thought the Japanese STi also came with a rear Suretrac.
The final drive ratio is ratio of the differential(s) in the axle(s). When someone talks about swapping gears, this usually means diff gears. The STi has a 3.9 final drive, meaning for every 3.9 times the driveshaft turns, the tire turns once. Subaru defintely wants this thing to be fast off the line with that kind of first gear and final drive ratio. My biggest gripe with the gearing on the WRX was that first was too tall.

wow, so 3.9 IS the differential ratio? With 300hp/torque, awd, and 3.9 gears, I dont know if anything will beat an Sti off the line...
