Peak 370 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) The 350/370 might not be the last word in power and speed, but I drove a Subaru STi this morning, a friend bought it 3 weeks ago new. 296 bhp and 300 lbs-ft it has. 2.5 litres of turbo flat 4. He changed from an early 350Z. UGH, springs to mind. Laggy, poor throttle response and not that quick. All over by 6,500 and nothing below 3,000 rpm. That is one engine which needs a total revamp.

Ekona Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 2.5 is not a patch on the 2.0 cars, especially the ones with the PPP. Our one revved to well over 7k with power not tailing off at all We drove the 2.5 as well and were to massively impressed. The hatch STi was quite good in 330S form in Sport Sharp mode. How does the new interior stack up? Not even seen a new one on the roads yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theheff Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 A lot of it comes down to learning how to drive the new car. When I went from a 350 to an s2000 I had the same concerns. The 350s v6 allows you to become a lazy driver, there is always power and torque in most gears at most speeds, if I try and accelerate from lower speeds in 4/5/6th gear in the honda it's pretty unimpressive. The 350 on the other hand, did it with relative ease 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak 370 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 With the development time the 2.5 has had 350 bhp with little lag should be possible. It felt a slow relic after the A45AMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
