From what I understand, since they have the WRX and STi listed on the same line somewhere you can upgrade the WRX with all of the STi parts.
Basically you can build a BSP STi with an ESP WRX body and call it ESP. ...so they are scared that it will be too fast for the mustangs and camaros. |

Another interesting thing: SEB Rule Change Item 63 (effective 1/1/2010).
The 2002 is getting faster in FSP with the formerly DSP 2002tii put on the same line as the other 2002. That means they get a 0.5:1 boost in motor compression. Last month, they made the Civics faster and this month they've made the 2002 faster. Looking at the FSP results for the last few years, I don't imagine how they suggest those two cars needed help in the class. Well, the variety was good while it lasted... -N |

2 more examples of the "best of breed" movement that was shot down when put out for member comment.
Hey Neil......the 03 OBS got an EJ25....I think they all got them sometime around there and later. Thoughts on the DSP listing of "Impreza, 2.5" (no years listed)? They mean RS only, or any Impreza with a 2.5 (like the 2.5i, 2.5ts)? Should the OBS go to FSP like yours? It's not otherwise classified if the DSP listing refers to the RS model. I figure about 1 week to make my car DSP legal if the listing is for any Impreza carrying a 2.5 liter motor...... Jay Storm |

DSP lists "Impreza 2.5" (which is usually interpreted as the 2.5RS) FSP lists "Impreza NOC" (which should basically be all the 1.8 and 2.2 cars) I consider the '98-'01 2.5RS to be the model intended for DSP. They get heavier in the '02-'07 range and they have different stock suspensions, but ultimately, they are all 2.5RS Imprezas with different names (TS, RS, 2.5i, etc). Given SP's suspension allowances, they'd all be on par with any '02-'07 2.5RS in DSP I think. But your car couldn't be DSP-legal. It's not an RS. It doesn't have the RS transmission, diff ratios, sunroof, power windows/locks, etc that an RS would have to have. Unless all normally aspirated Imprezas were on the same line, you'd have to start with an RS to make a DSP Impreza. And unless that happens, the "Impreza NOC" is always going to be all normally-aspirated '93-'01 non-RS Imprezas like mine and yours. I admit it seems a little strange to think a newer OBS would be a DSP car, but their engine really does start where mine is for power, so it makes sense. What's funnier is that a modern OBS is also a GS car since they've all got the 2.5 now. I find it hard to believe that a modern NA Impreza stuck with stock suspension can compete even in HS, much less GS. -N |

How would you think it would compete with the wabbit, and Civic's...It might come off a tad heavy...but i don't think anything could touch the WHP and LSD capabilities.. Bill |

Like I said, I think it could be the killer FSP car. There are just so few in good enough shape for someone to try. All the ones I find up here occasionally are rusted to hell.

I gave it some serious thought, but like Neil mentioned....finding a good example to start with is getting harder and harder.
There's a fairly decent one FS near me right now....$700. It's got me thinking....really thinking. Yes, with a fresh motor and standalone running the show, along with proper suspension, they would be (imho) a class killer. They didn't weigh much more than an impreza back then.....and I've read that the balance is closer to 50/50. Jay |

Because of that threat, they took the WRX and moved it to BSP. ...if you have time to read 14 pages... http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/340803.aspx |

I could see seperating 2.0 and 2.5 but that's not the case then, I guess I feel it's kind of stupid that a lighter WRX can be in ESP with maybe a 30 hp loss over a STi, but a heavier STi is in BSP? Small differences in horsepower don't typically determine a winner, it's more the driver than anything.

I've seen McCance's dyno sheet (has an '07 2.5L engine installed in his '02 WRX), and he's making around about 220whp. With race gas (or E85) I feel 240whp is a reasonable estimate of what he *should* be able to achieve. But there's no way he could get to be within 30hp of an STi with the stock TD04 (more like a 100hp less). The '09 WRXs have a much larger turbo and can make much more power in SP trim, which is why the current gen WRX ('08+) is being moved to BSP. |

I wish I made more power, but my dyno sheet looks pretty much the same as Greg's. I do like my gearing, but I don't know about the power and the transmission being the only differences between my car and yours, Justin.
