NickNack, those are hefty claims man. I hold my judgment untill I see a mods list and a timeslip. I hope that Subaru did indeed improve the performance potential to offset the drab styling.
OK So Too all the haters of the 08 WRX I have one thing to say, if you dont like the looks it's ok because I put about 3grand into mine and guess what the only time you'll see it is before the light turns green.
0-60 4.5
0-100 6.5
1/4mile 10.9
If you can beat that than speak badly of the 08
Pics comming Soon!!!
lies!!! no way can you do all that with 3 grand no way in hell.. and ftw you better watch your 5speed hah i give it 10,000 more miles before you have some serious problems.
Guys... I don't think we should treat this guy like a sack of lying crap; even though his claims are extremely steep. He's new and doesn't know better than to provide hard evidence with his claims; however, if there is not evidence to be presented, he should expect nothing less than to be call a liar and laughed at hysterically. There should be at least a dyno sheet. If that thing hasn't been dyno-tuned, its a rolling hand grenade and it won't be around for long.
If there is a AP available for my 08 then i want it. Every day i wait for a decent brand to come out with some parts is torture and the COBB sales is telling me Dec. NICKNACK did you get from somewhere besides cobb sales? can these be customized by someone else besides cobb?

Did anyone read the October issue of SubieSport? With just a beta UTEC they managed to get 300 ft/lbs out of the 08 WRX (on race gas i believe and I dont remember all the other numbers.) I'm not saying his numbers are valid, but according to that article the 08 takes kindly to mods.
I just test drove an 08 too. Compared to my 02 with cobb stage 2 and tein coilovers it felt pretty weak! It was also quieter, smoother transmission, and a much more comfortable ride, but I was expecting a wrx!
i dont know what the hell subaru was thinking, its probably the ugliest car i have ever seen..... it went from a pretty good lookin car to a hideous one
