Dealership said by the time I order / receive my WRX STI a new Prodrive kit will be available at the same price. They need to finish the WR1 run first then they will be supplying a 325Bhp pack.

Anyone else heard this, is it true, you knw what these dealerships are like with the accuracy of information ?

 

id be amazed if they did this,

if they did and i owned a Wr1 i would be mightly p[ssed off!!!

but hopefully they will and every sti owner can have loads of fun too

who knows, time will tell

doubtfull IMHO

 

In this case they are inaccurate.

Mike

 

dammmm and there's me hoping you'd just sneak that one in mike

 

Why did they say this ???

I really am beginning to get Pi&&ed off with Subaru Dealers, it would seem that 90% of what they say it complete and utter Bull ****. What are they on ? I haven't quite ordered mine yet (prob about 6 weeks away now) and I can't trust a word they say. I'm beinning to wonder if I should get a 2nd hand Porsche Boxter S instead and that's from someone who has always wanted a new Scooby.

 

Yawn. Were you born yesterday or something Whatif?? Car salesmen (no matter what the marque) talk all sorts of ****, especially if they think it'll get them a sale.

 

Car Salesmen don't you just love them!!

 

what if, bit of an over reaction from someone who's new to hi forum, maybe the dealer (salesman) was talking what he wanted to see

letss face it DONT trust anything a salesman tells u

 

I'll phone him up on saturday morning and get him to tell me again and then call him a lying to55er ! and when he can tell me the truth I will think about placing the order with him instead of another dealership.

 

If you can't get it in writing, it ain't to be relied on. That's a blanket rule you should adopt when buying any car.

 

In my experience, people who frequent SN,the SIDC forums and 22b tend to know about up and coming products before most dealers do. The downside is that this leads to speculation, rumourmongering and sometimes blinding accuracy.

 

If this is true, it will surely be mentioned on the Prodrive website.

www.prodrive.com

Anyone see anything about it there ??

 

Didn't you mean blinding inaccuracy Neil?

You're right though, the way some of the chinese whispers that start here have subsequently taken on the status of fact with so many people is shocking.

 

straight from the horses mouth, nice one Mike.

 

Did he confirm the automated cup holders?

 

Apparently it will also come with quick rack 1.1 turns lock to lock, Also front mounted intercooler and twin DCCDA's and decent stero and six speakers LOL

No, I meant accuracy. Rumours of the P1, WR1, Bugeye and Prodrive spring kit were all released on the net before dealers officially knew. As I said, sometimes people are spot on, mostly however they make things up as they go along.

 

boy i thought greasemonkey had a temper on him


what if youve really got upset at whats been said 20 posts and your calling salesmen to$$ers suddenly youre thinking of a used porsche boxster s??? calm down if you liek the car order it the salesmen was wrong they are human ( well some are anyways)


paul (salesman)

 

"inaccurate" doesn't suggested completely wrong though does it. Maybe it's 315bhp or more than 325bhp

 

Noted...

 

explains a lot

 

Doesn't it just? I never trust people called Paul...

 

for some reason I always get

Never trust people called Richard..



Richard

 

Its in one of the weekly mags, I heard about it on SIDC this morning, supposed to coincide with the facelifted 04 STi due out in Sept

Autocar perhaps!

Mark

 

cheers people

But im not a liar honest guvnor on my dead muvors grave


paul



ps and im deffo not from down saarrrff

 

It's not 325bhp you fools...it's 325ps LOL
Chuckster

 

Must be true then

 

Is the WR1 not quoted as 320bhp? There was some talk of a 320bhp PPP so perhaps Mike would like to say if this is more, or less, accurate than 325bhp? :-)

 

Read mikes original quote I really don think they would bring out a 320bhp r 325bhp for that matter ppp pack when the WR1 is top of the pile, people could have similar performance for a lot less and it would take the edge off the Wr1's exclusivity

 

i asked the dealer in derby if there was a next generation ppp coming out and he told me to keep an eye on scoobynet for information.
