Ive tried doing some research on this, I like this car a lot and want an STi. anybody know if has the same engine as in the 2006 and below STi. i know its a 2.5ltr and vf39 turbo and stuff, but this year it changed to 293hp 290TQ, so i was wondering if it was different in any way. if i were to get this i would definately mod it, so if its drastically different then the 2006 engine then its going to be hard to mod. can i use all of the same products for a 2006 sti on the 2007 STi (exhaust, turbo upgrade, EM, etc.)?

thanks in advance.

 

thats what all sti's are rated 300 is rated high but thoses are the right #s and everything will fit over. Em might take a while to upgrade

 

The car looks sweet,they're only making 800 of them and they are only coming in two different colors.

 

do you think cobb will come out with their AP for this year and model. i would assume i could use the 06 AP?

 

Whats the base price going to be. I dont think anything is going to be different engine wise.

 

engine will be a cary over from 06, same on EM (hopefully)

olny differance will be that the limited will be heavier... sune roof, leather, the works. and no wings, with black brembo`s

 

yea i like that, the only down side is the extra weight. i called mastro and no price has been given to them yet but they are ballparking around 38k.

Subaru today unveiled the decidedly unpimped 2007 Impreza WRX STI Limited model at the New York Auto Show. The new edition of the Impreza WRX STI packages creates greater comfort and refinement with subtler exterior styling, but does not sacrifice the performance of this street legend. The WRX STI Limited will be available in the fall in a limited run of 800 numbered units, 400 in Satin White Pearl and 400 in Urban Gray Metallic.

The 2007 WRX STI Limited delivers all the power and performance of the standard model. This new limited-edition version adds a layer of refinement and design detail enhancements targeted at a new group of driving enthusiasts looking for supercar performance but with an understated demeanor. Designed by Subaru Tecnica International (STI), the high-performance and motorsports subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the WRX STI Limited is descended from the Subaru WRC Rally car.

“The WRX STI redefined the performance car category when it was introduced in 2004. We know some enthusiasts have resisted the temptation to buy one simply because they want more everyday driving comfort and refinement, along with less aggressive styling,” said Fred Adcock, executive vice president, Subaru of America. “Now, with the STI’s reputation for pure performance unquestioned, we recognized an opportunity to broaden the car’s appeal.”

“Less Show, Same Go”

The 2007 WRX STI Limited stands apart from the standard model with an appearance that’s more low-key, and even stealthy. A new trunk-mounted lip spoiler replaces the standard model’s large dual-plane rear spoiler, and the black aluminum roof vane spoiler is deleted. A new, deep front lip spoiler further distinguishes the WRX STI Limited from the standard model.

New Enkei wheels with high-luster paint replace the BBS wheels, keeping the same 17 x 8-in. size and 225/45 ZR17 Bridgestone Potenza RE070 directional performance tires. Behind the new wheels, black Brembo® brake calipers with white lettering have a more reserved appearance than the gold and red-painted calipers on the standard WRX STI.

All WRX STI Limited models feature distinctive black gloss B-pillar paint and high luster paint for the exterior mirrors, and this special edition model includes standard fog lights.

The interior of the 2007 Impreza WRX STI Limited balances the performance-directed design and attitude with a dose of refinement. Most notably, the WRX STI Limited replaces the perforated blue high-grip Alcantara fabric seating surfaces with leather and new dark gray metallic bezels and interior trim.

For the first time in a WRX STI, the performance-design front seats are heated for all-season comfort. Also enhancing all-season driving pleasure, the 2007 WRX STI Limited features the first-ever power glass moonroof on this model. Beyond the changed interior appearance, additional features include new carpeting with improved sound insulation materials, an auto-dimming compass rear view mirror and an audio system input jack for an iPod or other digital music player. Finally, each car in this series gets a sequential number plate.

The standard automatic climate control system integrates cabin air filtration. SIRIUS™ Satellite radio availability enhances the versatility of the standard 120-watt AM/FM premium stereo, which includes a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and six speakers.

All Impreza WRX STI models are powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter DOHC Boxer engine producing 293 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 290 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,400 rpm. The Subaru Active Valve Control System (AVCS) variable valve timing technology helps provide strong torque characteristics throughout the engine’s operating range. A manually operated water spray feature helps to bolster intercooler efficiency during spirited driving.

All WRX STI models are exclusively equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission that features carbon-plated double-cone synchronizers on 4th, 5th and 6th gears to help ensure durability.

 

Thats way to expensive.

 

yea i didnt think it was goign to be that big of a difference from a regular sti. i think i might jsut go with a regular sti and upgrade to the leather interior. i dont like that STi blue inside of the car. no offense to anyone, just my opinion.
