Question

Just been having a read of EVO magazine & whilst having my general scan of the performance figures in the knowledge section came across the 4.8 sec 0-60 time of the WRX PPP . Has anybody managed to achieve this feat as it sounds too good to be true when compared directly to the STI PPP.

Also on here,click on which model you want the figures for.

I have the PPP on my 03 wagon & I tend to believe the figures.

PRODRIVE

Do a search on Nick Wadeson or Simon Lines,both are Prodrive guys,i'm sure they have done a reply to a post about figures being questioned here on SN.

This figure is also quoted on www.fastsaloons.com Look at number 11 on the Impreza list
I reckon their site contains far more info, such as benchmarks etc, than you're likely to find in the glossy mags, and it's free.

It says the price is £26,990 for a WRX PPP, surely they have this mixed up with the STi PPP.

Thumbs up

By no means do I disbelieve these quotes , In fact I was hoping they would be true , just nice to here from those people who have driven the PPP WRX themselves.
Cheers. Seems to be an absolute performance bargain then , well sort of a bargain if you've got 20 odd grand spare.
