'06 WRX 4EAT vs '04 WRX 5SPD

[ArizonaWRX]

^^ you have a 06+ WRX 4EAT too? awesome.

I plan on doing a stage 2 when my warranty is up also. thought about doing a hs tc and a tranny cooler but im not a big racehead and a little more hp and torque can be extra useful for passing cars and getting out of certain situations.

how you like your 4eat?

edit:

hey arizonawrx, if a 4eat 2.5l wrx can do 0-60 in 6.2, then what numbers do guess it might do with a stage 2? just a random question.

Thanks. A stage II WRX, even the 4eat, will be quite a performer on the street. I am hoping to go stage II when the warranty is up. I'm like you, I don't take my car to the track or brake launch, I have heard too much on people burning trannys. But I love my WRX for street driving, freeway driving, roadtrips, cruising and passing with no problems. Plus, I already took it up north (Flagstaff) to the snow with zero problems.

I love my WRX. Yeah its 4eat, but I like it, it has everything I want (it is a WRX) and my family can use it too. That was important to me. You like yours? Again, put a stage II on it, and it will be 'good to go'. As for your question Seattle, on improved 0-60 with stage II, I am sure it would be better, but as to how much? No idea. Someone should go stage II and find out!

Until Stage II, having a 4eat ANYTHING that still runs in the 14s and runs a 0-60 in 6.2 seconds STOCK is great. I love my WRX. What do you think Seattle206, how do you like yours? If you like it now, just wait till you stage II

yeah, my 4eat was chosen cause im not the only one thats driving it. i already have a 91 nissan 240 in 5 speed, so having a sporty coupe that can take up to the mountains to ski is good for me. plus its a subaru, awd, quick, 4 doors. what other japanese sedan out in the market with the same performance, quality, safety, handling, options, can you get for $28k otd for a wrx limited 4eat? the closest i can come up with is the new v6 camry, but its fwd, heavy and less fun.

what i want to know if what type of whp and torque an 06+ 4eat wrx puts out considering the fact the there is a drive train loss with an auto.

I'll be good and happy once my car reaches 224 awhp and 265 ft/lb.
