theres more also

 

Wow, that cheap for an 08 STI? (if the price is indeed close)

 

i would get the sti off the bat. if i had the money and credit

 

is there an 09 sti?

 

Yeah, they have 09 STI's. but the changes between the 08 STI and 09 STI were not as big as the changes between the 08 WRX and 09 WRX.

 

The only difference from the 08 to 09 STI is the replacement of Aspen White to Satin White Pearl (uber gheyness).

 

Oh, and get the 08 STI. The STI has the better powertrain and body. You can always upgrade the sways to larger 09 WRX spec or better.

 

The 09 wrx is faster than a stock sti

 

i didnt know the 09 wrx had a bigger turbo. so the 09 sti has a vf48 too?

 

^^ I bet the STi is faster 0-60, also, if the course had turns in it the STi would win hands down.

Swap turbos with a 09 WRX and you are just as fast, the difference is minimal anyway.

 

F'n subaru. i want them to give me a reason to come back in a few years.

 

i just went through that same decision the last two months. i was leaning towards the WRX since it would just be a daily driver and i don't need the extras. long story short i got the STI. the price was just too good not to pass up. picked it up last saturday and loving every minute of it. i think i would of defiantly regretted and hate myself for not getting the STI.
