WRX PPP or STI.
Would anyone happen to know the general performance figure's for a my 03 wrx wagon with ppp, i.e 0-60, top speed, etc. Just wondered because i used to use a my 02 sti, and i can't work out which one feel's faster from a standing start. If anyone know's it would be most helpful,thank's.

Yeah i would be interested to know this too since PPP fitted to my MY01, and comparison to the STi7 I think out shortly after that. I think the STi's though just have the edge, sure someone on here will have the figures to hand PPP vs STi on bhp, 0-60, V max, 30-70etc.

The old chestnut 
For 03 MY, the STi 0-62 was always quoted as 5.2s, with the WRX PPP at 4.8s (STi PPP 4.6 IIRC). The primary reason for the STi being slower is the 6 speed 'box which requires a change to 3rd to hit 60. On the road, the STi will always be the quicker car, and provide a much more sporting, rewarding and responsive driving experience. There's more to an STi than more power. The big benefits come from the modifications to the handling/suspension and drivetrain, although the engine performance upgrades do provide a better starting block for modification. I have an 03 WRX PPP, and rue the day I chose that over an STi.

Personally I would consider the insurance. A standard UK STi is MUCH easier to insure than a WRX + PPP. I know it's daft but that's the way it is.
And if you think it's bad at the moment, I'm fairly confident that you will not be able to insure a modified Subaru with any of the mainstream insurers within a few years!
I have been quoted less to insure a WR1 (essentially an MY04 STi + PPP) than my UK MY00 + PPP because they view the WR1 as a 'standard' vehicle!!!???
