04 WRX with PPP - Performance difference ?
According to dealer PPP is fitted pushing it to 265 - How much difference does this make on 0-62 and what other performance benefits would I get ?
Cheers !

The biggest difference on the road is the improvement in the amount and spread of torque over the rev range, which has a very positive effect on the car's real world performance- much more meaningful than 0-62 times.
Perhaps I should have posted that originally which would have saved Bartop some unnecessary work (but thanks anyway).
Having said that the Used Cars on Subaru's website are either a) already sold or b) not at the dealership indicated. Had a wasted trip to Romford yesterday but have saved myself a wasted trip to Chelmsford and Colchester today - in fact the Colchester office doesn't open on a Sunday despite the website indicating otherwise. What is the point of having a website but not keeping it reasonably up to date ? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
