That car had almost no lag because of the 2.5 engine , montrous torque mixed with AWD and lighweight car made it a beast !! It was just missing a bit of refinement in the cabin but for sure it was a totaly awsome experience being at the wheel of this car !!   |
All STi's in the US have 2.5 litre engines. GT35 will definitely lag behind a Stock TD04 turbo, lag behind ght GT30 turbo, lag behind the FP Green. Yes, the GT35r does make good power...more than 500+ hp in most applications but it does lag. STi's are a beast when upgraded and a blast to drive. Just doesn't have the refinement that I want.
[had a stg II '05 STi (minus the gigantic part bench wing), E46 M3, now E92 M3...I like power and refinement.]
