so looking at the stats (for what they're worth), i see the following

Bug STi 0-60 5.9 secs
Blob STi 0-60 5.2 secs

So if you knock of 0.4 secs for the PPP pack therefore

Bug STi PPP 5.5 secs
Blob STi PPP 4.8 secs

So does this mean that a standard blob STi is still quicker than a Bug STI with PPP???? (on paper)

Cant be right can it??? I know that blobs have more torque thats why they are slightly quicker than the bugs but surely a 40hp increase must make a bug quicker???

Any answers???

so according to that no difference

When looking on the subaru website though it states different times to 60 for bugs and blobs

Doesn't the blob have better chassis mods too? Looks better too

Not sure these figures are right. My mate has a blob STi and mine a bug STi. Nothing in them mate. Mine used to be a bit faster I think, but his engine seems to have loosened up a bit and they are near identical. neither got PPP.

i got sti ppp blob eye, chose this over the bug eye version as there newer, and i think that they look better. personal opinion mate.

When i was looking to replace my classic two years ago had the chance to drive a bug sti with ppp and blob sti without back-to-back at a subaru garage in Cambridge preferred the driving experience of the non ppp blob eye,liked the handling and the old fashioned all or nothing power delivery.
Also "woody" you may think our cars have similar performance but your always behind me when it matters!!!!!

So do you get a less shove in the back with PPP cars due to to fact they have more low down power before the turbo spools???

blob mate not bad looking unlike the bug which is butt ugly

I agree that the blob is better looking, but the bug i have my eye on has got the prodrive styling kit which i think looks pretty nice

the prodrive kit does make it look a lot better

mr incredible

On my test drive on real roads and with a sales man next to me the ppp powered STI7 (bug) felt no faster and sometimes even quite lazy (if possible for a 300 bhp car)compared to the other car, granted there may of bean a problem with that particular car but at the time i had no proof of that,
also worth noting is that the exhausts on ppp powered cars don't sound nowhere near as good as the aftermarket exhausts you can buy,the first thing i would of done is change it!!!

would love to but they are over my budget

Don`t think you would be dissapointed with any of the 2. I`ve got an 05 STI PPP and its quick enough for me.
