STI7/8 Diff 0-60 Times
Hi, looking for an STI to buy and on the Subaru website they quote STI 7 as 0-60 in 5.9 secs and STI 8 in 5.3 secs
Is this correct? Why the difference? is the 8 lighter???. I've tested driven a 52 plate 7 and a 55 plate 8 and i do admit the 8 gave seemed to give me a more harsher shove in the back

The 8 is also heavier @ 1470KG vs 1385KG

Both produce similar levels of power but the ecu is different and possible tweaks to the map would improve things somewhat
Should also add that both weigh the same, 1470kg, the 02/03 type uk's run similar power/torque levels.

a classic turbo pushes out that much torque, a type UK 02 STi pushes out 250+lbs.Tony

Was a wee bit shocked by those figures and was contemplating phoning a V7 driving friend and mocking his puny torque figure and telling him that my MY99 PPP which cost half what his did has a higher lb/ft output!!
Thankyou for saving me from eating the slice of humble pie....
