2004 Subaru WRX STi Pictures and Specifications

The WRX STi offers exotic car performance for just around $30,000. Powered by a 2.5 liter boxer 4 making 300 HP And 300 lbs. of torque the STi gallops from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and to the 1/4 mile in 13.3. The WRX STi is equipped with Subaru's most performance-directed All-Wheel Drive system with DCCD (Driver Control Center Differential). In automatic mode, the computer varies the front/rear torque split automatically depending on driving conditions and driver input. In manual mode, the DCCD system allows the driver to vary the front-to-rear torque distribution for different driving conditions.

Using a small control wheel on the car’s center console, the driver can set the system to transfer as much as 65 percent of available torque to the rear wheels to increase handling agility. Since high speeds come very easily, the STi is equipped with a functional rear wing for high speed stability and high performance Brembo brakes.

The 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible is the fastest Corvette convertible ever made and it can thank the mighty Z06 for that.

It also has in common that it's only available with a 6 speed manual transmission. 0-60mph is expected to come in 3.8 seconds and acceleration will continue to over 190mph!
