Upgraded the power to hang with the Lancer Ralliart...

 

Poor 2008 owners. That's why I'm glad Honda doesn't update their sportscars substantially (not being sarcastic)

 

i bet subaru got many complaints about the 08.

so they finally listened and hopefully made a car worth of the subaru badge.

 

hp goes up a little, weight goes up a lot. meh

 

Overall - the upgrades bring the stock on in line with what everyone is moding them to be. You don't even know what an upgrade the tires are...that took way to long.

What surprised me was how they compared it to the S in their advertisement. Why would you do that? (I just bought both instead)

 

Not that big a deal, it's not like they revised the motor, they just uncorked some of the bottled up power. 08 guys can do that and more, they just have to dance around warranty issues. It's really just status quo since these same types of people would be doing the same if they bought an 09... as we know of horsepower junkies, it's never enough.

 

-> My ex-car was far better than the 09-Rex. It had 320CHP (crank hp) and was a semi-drift wagon. And guess what it was $8,000 cheaper even with the upgrades.

-> Most people will still consider the Mazdaspeed 3 as a benchmark 5-door hatch in the USDM market. And that a FWD, now that is sad.

-> Subaru got cocky nowadays.

That's a retarded advertisement, oh look, we got the most hp and torque, but we're still not the fastest 0-60.

 

^LOL, graph not to scale.
