Well, i have an ST and i have to agree, there is no way a standard ST would keep up with a WRX. However, i've got the Mountune kit on it now and it'll eat a standard Scooby for breakfast (tried and tested), As a result i would wager that the ST in this is tuned rather than the driver of the Subaru is shit.

The euro spec ST comes with a 5 cylinder Turbo, 20 valves, and 2,5 liter displacement. Standard, they produce 225 BHP.

@lats28883 agreed, off the line the scooby should be quicker. I've got a Mk 5 golf gti pirelli now, running about 300 bhp, I see off 911 carrera 4s! Which is nice. Lol. But none of it matters anymore, Audi RS3 has completely re-written the rule book. Audi and VW are bad for underestimating so 0-60 in 4.6 could easily turn into low 4s. I havnt driven one yet but a couple have been bought by people in out area so Cambs audi (where I work) should get one in soon enough. I'll keep you posted.

@lats28883 uh...no, I have a WRX and have raced ST's from a standstill and then on a roll from about 50 and beat it both times, not surprising. And by the way I have an XBOX and a PS3.........priiiiick! lol

[lats28883]

@XXdriver2000XX ahh yeah it will, I've done it enough times. Do you even own a car, or are you just another 15yo with an Xbox?

[XXdriver2000XX]

@lats28883 LOL no they wont you fool

[lats28883]

@Fisherdaz1 Either way, with a proper launch the rex should leap out in front and the ST come back hard. The Rex 0-60 is quoted at 5.9 or something, cause they can do a 6000rpm launch. Big deal, the Focus will still mash them in gear

wow, now i am surprised. didnt thougt that

@chipyedd

You say the focus is a cheap nasty car...... Have you ever sat inside a subaru? even the 2008 impreza is horrifically plasticy and low quality. Focus ST is luxary compared to any scoobie.

Focus with Insane Driver!

Bangs it man! Excelent shifting time with hardcore speed shiftting!

AWESOME!

Just one question, Subaru is not AWD?

If so, why it beggin out first gear acceleration?
