Sky GTR is the better car but sadly price comes into it!

the wrx will not be able to play with the rear end like the sti due to lack of dccd
then the wrx 5 speed will go bang, normally 3rd gear.
new wrx & new sti,,,, there is not £7000 difference in price for no reason, the sti is a much better more reliable car,
I am not dissing a wrx, they too are a great car, I think the sti is worth the difference.


My car WAS only a WRX

:D

Drive it and it will be sold, but you could alsoo add that insurance may be easier for a std STI than a modified WRX ?

Oh and hi Mr. Pepsi...

WRX vs STI, almost as much fun as newage vs classic....lol.

Put it this way, if there was no price difference between a WRX and STI which one would you buy ??

I am new to this but although you can tune a WRX to be as quick as an STI, the STI is relatively cheap to take up to the next level without worrys about the fragility of a number of components. 330bhp+ being easily achievable. Allegedly it's good for 400bhp

I could be wrong.....

Only way to really tell is to go for test drive and see if it warrants the additional cost.

no because then you can spend hours trying to convince yourself and others its as good as an sti and you wanted a wrx even though you bolted all the sti stuff to it.
i think its called sti envy

What sti stuff? Wow I have an sti so it's super fast

Cheapest way to do it is buy some £2.99 sti stickers from ebay and stick them on your WRX, job done :thumb:

I have had my Bugeye wrx for a long time and still love it but there is not must left of the original car and still a big list to do :Whatever_ but if I did it again I would have to started with Sti , but that would not stop modding :lol1:
