Re: up date kit fot 04 GTO
STI is made by Subaru. It is based on their compact Impreza car. The Impreza has a performance option WRX which gives the base 2.0 liter engine turbo treatment and suspention as well. Thge STI is the WRX Impreza car with the larger Legacy (Subaru's bigger car) 2.5 liter engine with the turbo treatment etc. the STI engine is more than just a stock 2.5 with a turbo but ou get the idea.
Subaru has an even larger engine, a H6 3.0 liter which may find its way into a later STI so they are far from their performance limit. The STI is also a 4 door car which 4 adults can comfortably get in and out of as well as ride for several hours, unlike the Mustang.
The way I see it, the Impreza is like a first gen Camaro. You have the base model (6 cyl or mild small block), the WRX (like an SS396 Camaro), and you have the STI (like a 427 Camaro). I've seen the STI sell around 30. Hot rod lists it for 29, the guy in my neighborhood bought his for almost 32. It is still safe to say that it could be had for around 30. What else can offer this level of performance? It ain't gonna be a GTO, anyone hear of a savior in the works for GM?
