The figures use to be found on the subaru uk site for both cars, you may have to do a search for the P1 but the best overall car is the newage, handles better, rides better, drives better, it is heavier but its also got the extra power (and it is quicker) with more torque (which is what you want) which equates to more low down power, better mid range, better stopping power, more reliable etc etc etc.

put this to the test yesterday on at bedford autodrome trackday, prodrived newage sti absolutely wasted my mates P1 and my wrx ppp, all 3 off us about the same driving ability too.

for anyone who says "p1`s better looking" yes agreed but it takes more than a coat of paint...

I think it all depends on person that is buying the cars
personally I have the P1, newage are better cars( as any later models will be )...but P1s have bags of character

this **** me off, you have over 6000 postings so have been here a while, the poster has less than 30 and wants to debate the question for himself, why not keep your SIAL, search button remarks to yourself or perhaps promote a more welcoming than dismissive atitude to someone who is new.

Firesorter. Bit over the top but I take your point. As said, this sort of thing gets asked daily and a simple searh would probably answer it. This vs that threads are always end up being a touch pointless.

Thanks Minitrue

Hi BigHead, darkside is great thanks! Did you sell your P1?

Bob, I have pretty much pissed off. I used to spend hundreds of hours helping people out on here, but you get little thanks and the smae questions get asked over and over.
