Default What's the torque of the MY06 WRX?

Subaru website states for the new shape WRX its 320NM but nothing about the 06, can I assume its the same, I didn't realise it was wuite so high.

Yep, about 230-235 lb/ft if i remember correctly. The PPP increases this to a nice 310lb/ft

Cheers Tony, so is the new shape WRX 320 standard or is that a miss print as there is no PPP fitted as standard ?

Nm is a different measurement to ft/lbs. ie metric / imperial.


320Nm = 236ft/lb.

LOL... as above don't confuse NM with lb/ft. PPP is 420NM iirc.

Torque IS real world whilst BHP isnt as BHP is only a calculation based on Torque.
