Default 08 STI -Tested by motor trend and edmunds w/ tech data

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI - First Test - Motor Trend


Full Test: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI



" At the dragstrip that equates to 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.4 at 100.5 mph, numbers that are significantly quicker than those of the Evo X GSR (5.4, 14.0 at 96.9), but not as speedy as the aforementioned 2006 STI (4.5, 13.0 at 103.5). Chalk it up to overall gearing that's taller in every gear (by about 20 percent in third and fourth) and to a weight gain of 41 pounds, courtesy of such additional safety measures as curtain airbags."

variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust valves

You hit it on the head, I predict with a little time we'll see the the 08 STi's breaking the 1000whp mark.

dual cam timing has nothing to do with making a peak power...it just increases area under the curbve by being able to satisfy more the powerband's required cam timing
