Those numbers are not at all impressive. Motor Trend claims a 4.5 Second 0-60 how could it be a full second off from edmunds?
the 2011 sti is slower from 0-60 and the 1/4 mile. it also has lower skidpad numbers and longer braking distances. according to motortrend.com the 2011 car does 0-60 in 5.0 secondsQuote:

not bad not bad.
I can believe it as these cars are pretty hard to launch right. To get anywhere under 5s 0-60 you have to abuse the car pretty badly so those numbers are not really relevant in real world. Trap speed is more indicative of how fast it is IMO.Quote:

they need to do a major refresh of the car and get it away from the current wrx. I still like the older wagon ones though. those would be a sweet winter beater
hmmm I could of sworn I just read a couple weeks ago it was either 4.5 or 4.8 sec for the new STi, maybe it wasn't motor trend.Quote:

I can't beleive they allowed for this thing to be slower than the old STi :banghead:
Couldn't agree more this thing needs to be making 330 - 340HP. If the WRX went from 225 -> 265 why the hell didn't the STi get a bump in power :nut:Quote:

Subaru seems to be pulling a honda with their wrx sti. it's a good car but nothing signifcantly has been changed in the power train since 2004 when the first Sti came out
