YouTube - 2003 Cobra vs 2008 Subaru WRX STi

Cobra has Intake/Exhaust, STi has Intake/Exhaust/Tune

nice vid

Having had both: An intake, exhaust, and tune makes a bigger difference on an STI than it does a cobra.

Nice vid.

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.

The stang was on DR's.

The suby makes almost 300whp, 293.

01mmmz28 · 10 Jul 2008, 09:28 am

^normal DR's are not that sticky. He needs MT ET streets, at least 275 wide.

Yah can't win the all....lol, but i'd take the cobra over the STi

97talon · 10 Jul 2008, 07:00 pm

I'd agree with taking the cobra over the 08 STi. However I think I'd take an older sti over the cobra.

STIvsSVT · 11 Jul 2008, 04:09 am

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.

2x the engine plus S/C = ford fail....

the stang is a better looking car tho. 2008 subs arent that good looking...

05BLKSTANG · 14 Jul 2008, 09:51 am

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

For a while I was trying to convince myself as a Subaru fan the latest STI looks good, it's just different, but tbh they look rubish compared to the saloons, ven the bug eyed ones.

Hi all btw it's been a while

I used to be STi > Evo, but with this latest generation, Evo >>>> Sti
