I'm reminded of the pep talk Duke gives in Rocky VI: "To beat this guy you need speed. You don't have it".

Maybe the 2015-2016 STI's were just better with less decoration and simplicity.
Even the refresh models are showing slower acceleration times than the earlier STI's.. |

The low quality salt they use in NY state is most definitely adulterated with rocks and ****.

The additional weight of the larger wheels likely play a role in the slower times as the EJ257 isn't really a strong engine by today's standards.

I agree they are not "useless"; but, I'll spend more money for other options.....maybe clear bra the whole side.....before putting those ugly things on a "tarmac" set up. Now, If I got crazy and set my car up like a gravel rally car setup, then duh....

One of those options is significantly cheaper than the other. Some places you can get away with neither, others it's a good idea to have one or the other.

Cobb announced tuning support for the S209 today. They're only offering a Stage 1 OTS 93 octane map.

Basically, for us on 91 ACN, on the streets, we have to use flex fuel setups or water/meth injection setups just to make the *rated* power. At the track, it's easier, fill up with half a tank of 100 or 110 AKI unleaded and knock should go away. EDIT: but, then again, my opinion is that, if I have to spend $40+K OTD on a brand new car, I shouldn't need to jeopardize my factory powertrain warranty just to make the engine run right. That makes no sense. A used and older vehicle? Sure, why not. Last edited by neg_matnik; 03-25-2020 at 01:54 PM. |

But we already knew that Subaru has issues with their stock tunes I guess the S209 is no different. |

It's tough to look at those curves and not get a bad taste in your mouth. The general reason why aftermarket tuning makes more power than stock is because OEMs tune their cars with excess safety - so that a car will run decently under the worst real world conditions that it could possibly face.
It's not clear that S209 could survive even a single summer HPDE event at Willow Springs on its stock tune. Subaru did such a half assed job on this "racecar for the street." |
