Wait for the JDM version to come out. They'll unveil a 300hp WRX on August 25th. Much promise.

WRX S4 this is not. Wait you must or regret you shall.

I'm very sure that they'll come out with another WRX STI for the Japanese market. That could be even better. Besides, all these years, Japanese market WRX STI uses EJ20 2 litre engines instead of 2.5 litre like those at international markets.

6 speed manual WRX STI also okay ma. 296HP. Short of 4hp hehe!

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

the wrx STI if not mistaken now use 2.5 engine instead of the better FA20DIT engine??

0-100kmh time seems slower. I remember the GDB versions can crack 0-100 in under 5 seconds. This one did it in 5.2... Still, this one remains as my favorite.

I still prefer this one than the new one as well...

S206? That one selling for over 300k. More expensive than this latest model. But the 6 pot brakes is very tempting and nice. Imagine, 6 pot brakes in a Japanese 4 door sedan. Not exactly a coupe or the traditional looking sports car.

BTW, the older GDB Spec C Type RA-R had 6 pot brakes as well.

Ya, give me the S204 also I dont mind. That one also specs already very tempting.

S204 also very good. Very nice seats. Carbon seats if I am not mistaken. But what I din't like about those special edition of the GDB series are the spoilers. I prefer the standard WRX STI large spoiler over the small ones in S204 or Spec C RA-R.

This spoiler

Din't really like this...
