Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GDB 280 PS) specs

@fastestlaps please add (GDB 280 PS) to the name and change the introduction date to 2000-2007

In the US and Canada these were certified 300hp beasts! Back when Imprezas were considered M3-sized not M2-sized

Subaru Impreza GD from second and third face lift are possibly the best Subies, for the best price. They are also sharper and more exciting to drive than GH - the third generation.

Propably the best all-wather 4 seater money can buy.

Impreza STI was a good sportcar, developing with proportional steps. But in 2006 the evolution stopped. And since then nothing spectacular has come to the market (except the Cosworth-tuned limited model). There is actually no difference to the 2005 model, but that in addition costs less. The 3 generation left nothing progressive, so I don't see the reason of purchasing the current Impreza STI. Subaru needs to present the new Impreza STI already, which would be really an impressive one as it used to be.

I love Subarus, especially Impreza WRX STI, I think it's an awesome car, of course it's going to have some understeer, it's all wheel drive, but if you're driving on loose or slippery surfaces, this is what you want.

One of the best sporst car today beceause of:
-second hand low price
-easy and a lot of tuning options
-pretty realible
-unmatched traction on snow and dirt roads
-pretty useful 4 seater with big cargo space
-comfortable suspension
-great AWD system

downsides:
-might be little understeer, but it make it little bit safer
-interior quality, but who cares
-engine life isnt superb

Love the really design

May not be the best on clean surface or straight line, throw down some snow or gravel and you really learn what Subaru is all about.

you have to mods the car otherwise its not fun.

i like subaru

2005

oh really? i just bought, a jdm sti ej20 version 8 spec c whole engine and ranny swap, is it comprable to these specs?

the 255km/h were tested by sportauto in 01/2006

@carter
WRX STI has short gear ratios. It's created for acceleration not top speed.

i have a 2004 subaru wrx non sti and i have gone 235kph theres no way the sti only dose 255. if so my engine swap im doin is a waste.

@Georg and FastestLaps
Can I re-add some cars? I find many cars (these cars have laptimes, so they definetly have to stay in this site) without many fundamental datas or wrong datas and those datas haven't fixed. Would you mind if I re-add some of them with correct datas?
PS: The picture is wrong, it shows the 2003-2005 WRX STI with the 2 liters 265 PS engine. This picture shows the 2005-2007 STI:

Guy's let it go.I mean just because it's got a big wing and a big exhaust.

lets see of this performance capabilities, i think its best acceleration than your power

subaru its really best of rally car

Lets see what will happen now that they remove a few major rules.

Yeah baby... I ve got this car...
Evo X vs STI GDB, it will b interesring

This is all bullsh..
This is RA-R, 0-64 do i 4.2 sec, 320 hp, 422 NM,...
ha ha ha

i added the new picture at the bottom you can add. i thought the snow scenery would add to the beauty and rally insperation to the car.

Do you have a better picture you can add? If so I can then update the main image with the new one.

im sorry i should have put it better. i ment the picture is wrong. its the 2005 one, after the one with the round headlights, the one with 300bhp!!!

this isnt the one that did that 1:30.1 top gear lap.

Which one was it then?

this isnt the one that did that 1:30.1 top gear lap.

0-200 is in 18.5 sec, not 21.5.

I tested it with my own car

STI 0-62 are usually 5.0s, with PPP its usually 4.6 - 4.8, but 5.7 is really ridicilous... you should upload the PPP version as well
