Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
Having had both: An intake, exhaust, and tune makes a bigger difference on an STI than it does a cobra.

Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
intake and exhaust on an 03/04 cobra should put it in the area of 410-ish rwhp. The subbie was fast no doubt, but I hink its AWD combined w/ a better driver finished off that cobra. The stang just needs some good sticky tires and it might be an even game. Good vid anyways.

Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
The stang was on DR's.
The suby makes almost 300whp, 293.

Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
^normal DR's are not that sticky. He needs MT ET streets, at least 275 wide.

Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
I'd agree with taking the cobra over the 08 STi. However I think I'd take an older sti over the cobra.

Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
As a daily driver I'd take the STI. Its bags more fun to drive with minor mods than the cobra is. However, if I were a heavy street racer, I'd take the Cobra. Its much less costly to get REAL fast. I wouldn't be happy putting a ton more power into the subaru without having the engine rebuilt.
Granted, at some point, both need beefing up (its not a supra after all), but the Subaru's give-out point comes quicker.

Re: 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi
One thing I can careless about is engine displacement.
At the end of the day it's all about power, efficiency & realiability There's a reason why they still compare cars to the 03/ 04 cobras, I agree with you that the cobra looks better  Quote:
