310Bhp WRX vs STI PPP ??
hi guys..
want to know whats the difference between a modded 04 WRX with 310/300 and a 04 STI PPP??
i have been told by some one that an STI will need extra 20hp/20ft to keep up?? is this true?? if so why ??
which will be more fun to drive??
many thanks
kevin

gearbox, and a few other things, i "think" the 6 speeder is near 40kgs heavier than the 5 speed, but dont quote me on that....

Dont underestimate the STi, its 6 speed box is closer ratio'd than the 5 speed in the wrx.
Air flow is also improved with the bigger scoop and intercooler giving better cooling.
I dont think there will be much in it tbh, and out of both, the STi would be the one thats the most fun

The prob with chipped diesels is that they are very quick low down in the rev range (as oppose to a Scoob) so it's very easy to catch a powerful car out if they are napping in the wrong gear.
Scared a couple of M3s in the same fashion, wouldn't have stood a chance had the driver been awake, sorry to p*ss on your chips
