Default lets torque about torque?

why is it that the my00 onwards impreza's, make more torrque than classic's, ie. if they have both 2.5ltr's and same turbo's,why do the newage cars seem to have more torque,

simply they dont.

if you mean new age uk sti's compared to uk classics, then its due to the larger turbo, after 2005 (iirc) the 2,5 switch makes the extra torque

so if you have a 2.5built classic at 500bhp, and a 500bhp newage the torque will be similar, just i've been looking and compared to my car it seems the newage's make more torque,

They newage cars have the added advantage of vvt heads, this will help the torque figures.

if you talking about a custom build the spec can dictate what power and torque will be the end result
