Buyers blues ?

They are slow, arent they.

I bought a four month old MY01 WRX, and thought someone had taken the turbo off it.

Dont worry, you can make them fast, so all is not lost.

its not the performance that attracted me in the first place.

looks, price and headroom is the main reasons.

Spend it on something decent, like czech hookers

Aren't you that 18 year old who always moans on here that girls only want to be friends with you?

Anyway, after having agreed a sale on my Classic MY00 I discovered that it will do 67MPH in second gear before hitting the rev limiter.

1st=39MPH
2nd=67MPH
3rd=97MPH
4th=137MPH
5th=145MPH

0-60 is 5.5 secs, Evo Mag or 5.6 in Top Gear.
How can that be slow then?!

From Prodrive -

0-60 in 5.5, 0-100 in 15.9 so 60-100 in 10.4 (Evo has 10.2)
30-70 through gears - 5.7.

Go onto the prodrive website and find the PPP for MY03/04, download the .pdf and there's a breakdown of in gear times through 20 mph increments if your **** enough to want to know (like me )

Quick enough.
Avalyn.
