Was reading an article about Richard Burns and how he's got Porsche 911 GT3, Camaro, RB5 and *STI VI* in his garage(s) at the mo.

Just wondering if the STI VI is out yet - I'd forgotten all about it, but if I remember, its the last of the 'old shape' and they really went to town on the torque and bhp didn't they ?

Certainly is food for thought for anyone considering a P1.

DV

The sti6 has been out for Jonks - as I under stand its pretty much the same as the sti5 with a few cosmetic mods.

The power/torque should be identical to the sti5

Cant comment on the P1 - thought this was an sti 5 ECU with a bit of boost restriction to allow it to run safely on RON 95 - and therefore a bit less powerful than the sti5/6?
Nice looking car though - shame some of the upgrades were not up to scratch - i.e the Alcon brake problems and tramlining on the 18inch wheel upgrades - nevermind eh

Tyanks Steve - maybe it was the STI 7 I was thinking of...

I'm sure it put out 300bhp+ with increased torque too. I think it was the final 'old shape' before the first of the new shape STi cars.

Anyone know about this ?

It cant be good PR for IM Richard Burns having a GREY IMPORT!!! and not a P1 insight.
I wonder if he walked into my local dealers,would they service it?!!

sorry, sorry, I'm talking bo**ocks - STi 7 - torque is up to 380 and bhp at 280

I think its based on the new shape car.

I'll shut up now.

Technically the New Age Impreza STi is known as the 'STi 1' cos it is based on a totally different car than the STi6!!! Just to confuse everybody...

BTW, Richard had an STi6 in Cool Grey as well as a Legacy B4. Both brought in by Prodrive as 'Greys'. They do a lot of this, as The Chairman of International Motors (the UK importer of Subaru) has just sold his Legacy B4. And there are a few imports knocking around the head office as well...

Hmm,

I wonder IM serviced it for him?

Geezer

Yep... STi6 was the same car as the STi5. Power and torque identical to the STi5. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Only differences were cosmetic.

New Front splitter

No Limited Edition Sonic Blue, but reintroduction of the Yellow.... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif
