Which is a better car the wr1 or a sti widetrack? whats the difference?

Looking to upgrade but does the r1 justify its high price tag

widetrack is better and the wr1 is an awful colour

Agreed....

Dan-

Wr1 is purely a ltd edition car so will hold its value, i would hunt out for a nice widetrack if i were you although i have seen a rise in price for them on auto trader seem to be going up "/

AzzDSM

seems like they are near enough same value give or take, but searching and comparing the widetrack is a better spec'd car

Bought mine due to the fact its ltd edition and I bloody love the colour. Looks loads better in the flesh than in pics. Different strokes for different folks i guess. Buy what you want not what others think you should buy imo :-)

AzzDSM

i was merely asking why the wr1 jusifys its price tag. im looking at getting the sti wt because it looks better spec'd for its value, just wanted to make sure im not missing anything before splashing out lol

the wr1 is a narrow track sti with a dccd gearbox and awful colour. not worth the premium.

possibly the worse special edition they did.

It has dccd, black trim similar to spec c ltd, unusual colour, 18 inch wheels and is most powerful uk spec car as supplied. Widetrack has much more improvements like larger hubs, updated interior, different wheelbase, better suspension and rollbars, underbody aerodynamics to name a few and a jdm widetrack is even better in my opinion and rarer in uk than wr1. But it horses for courses and buy what appeals to you

They do look good in the flesh,may be yours I have seen

Dan-

was the WR1 not just a PPP 305 or whatever it is? or is that what you mean supplied fitted with no extra cost

Scoobytom2

Possibly mate depending on where your from??

slightly more power than ppp but nothing a remap wouldnt beat

Dan-

ahh okay cheers, never really done alot on research on the Wr1 just what ive seen posted

Think they are listed as 320ps about 315bhp

Have seen a few standard ones on the rollers, none made 315bhp (306bhp was the highest i think)

beastturbo

I think they look nice apart from they dont have the foglight covers that the sti does

Dan-

i wonder what a PPP sti makes then "/ 290 hp

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

im sure its just over 300 on my certificate, cant remember what it says now

Dan-

just checked mine says 301 but on a proper dyno probs 290 ish, or do subaru dyno them before sale to ensure they meet the rated power?

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

god knows but the map is crap anyway a remap is a far better option

Dan-

i cant wait to get mine done by ecutek hopefully see 310 on a standard ppp

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

it will be about 330 ish in standard form with a proper map

Dan-

oh thats better than i though! exhaust and panel filter only fitted to it

AzzDSM

an sti with ppp states 305bhp i believe

Mine made 304 on standard ppp before mod's in 2009,
so 4 years old i didn't think was too bad.

tubbytommy

its not the top line bhp figure its how much better the car will drive.
the power is much more useable

Dan-

will it make the car pull longer in rev range or is that down to the turbo, seem to die off at 5k revs

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

yes and up the boost a little
