it is for me... $39k would buy a new STi (STI?) and several good mods. or an HPDE weekend. or... sorry, I'm all about cost/benefit analysis.

that said, I would like to see an H6 Impreza in person sometime. and I don't mean up on a pedestal at a car show, I want to see it driven in anger! :twisted:

I couldn't agree more. Their 2.5 blocks are insane too. Hopefully another manufacturer will come out with a H6 soon... cause I'd buy an Atom before that block!

If you find that intersting, you may want to check this out:

The car is making about 430whp, and 410lb-ft of torque, on only 16.5 PSI! Torque breaks 300 lb-ft at 3250 RPM! Remember this is with a 35R, which on the 2.5L is a laggy turbo.

A stock STi hits 250whp and 255ftlbs on this dyno.

what is the weight difference between the H4 and H6? the Impreza is already nose heavy. the added weight might throw off the handling.

Later on in the thread they weighed it against a pair of similar modified STi's (FMIC, etc) and there was only a 50lb difference. Yikes!

relocate the battery and install a JDM bumper beam and you're half way to equalizing the weight. add all the weight in the trunk from passengers crapping themselves and the front/rear balance might actually improve. wow.
