player2301 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 update from him lol "this is the impreza WR1 only 500 of these monsters were made so a very limited edition, running 320bhp standard, 0-60 in 4.2 and limited to 155mph, just an awesome car has everything. This is no.303." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thought so. My buddy has a WR1 but it's a show queen. Ace car though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I obviously agree the 350z is a much much nicer car but im surprised he thought it was quicker. I owned an STI (Below) for about 6 months and I have to say it was lightning quick, it was much faster 0-60 than the 350Z but not in the same league as the Zed when it comes to driving pleasure. Things that annoyed me about the STI was constant need to change gear and high revving. Oh and when someone said it was chavvy then it got put on Auto Trader the next day ( If you read the 'Who Farted' thread you will probably realise why I got peed off when people were saying the 350z was chavvy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 surely the handling in the scooby is better but you just have to nail the throttle in the bends to keep traction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudga Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well have to say I've had 2 STi's No1 was at uk sti 53 reg with the Prodrive performance pack, reputed to be 304bhp.... the second a 06 model JDM STi twin scroll turbo etc 320bhp, The sceond was a rocket ship by comparason to the first... and the first was far quicker than the 54 reg 350z we had. Different power delivery but once you get used to the scoob hell the're brill & will leave he zed on an A to B road, a far more focussed car in my opinion, but yes can be tiring if you just fancy a cruse. The car above is the WR1 which is based on a re mapped STi, + other bits was built by prodrive in Ltd Nos. re mapped to 320bhp (Standard STi of that age 265bhp) but the map was such that it still had some lag early on and power was more generally spread across the range. It didnt feel as quick as the normal STi with the PPP but was, in a stightly more refined way. All in all I used to want to get out of the wife zed & back in my scoob for the performance, but then if I was doing a 500mle road trip i'd go in the zed !!! However now that i'm scoobless & we're in the 313ph Zed with the Nismo zorst etc its a slightly different game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
