ive not driven any of their SUVs..i dont like them. but ive enjoyed all of the cars that ive driven from bmw.

 

Nice kill! I actually really like the way the Legacy GTs look, it would make a really comfortable daily driver if I didn't already own the Lex.

Since ROTM did such a good job explaining the Hemi, I'll break down Subaru "stages" for you guys.

Different companies include different components for their stages, but I'll use TurboXS's since that's the route I took with my old WRX. Cobb's stuff (Accessport) only goes up to stage 2.5.

Stage 1: Purely a reflash on an otherwise stock car - expect maybe 15-20whp)
Stage 2: Reflash plus a full turboback exhaust, catless or no - with a custom tune, expect anywhere from 40-50whp
Stage 3: Reflash, turboback exhaust, catless uppipe, and TMIC or FMIC - throw in a couple more whp
Stage 4: Where my old car was at. This is pretty ambiguous, but it includes reflash, turboback, catless uppipe, TMIC or FMIC, STi or better injectors and a VF series turbo. The turbo and injectors can be completely up in the air if you're getting a custom tune, so the sky (and the block haha) is the limit on whp on a stage 4. I personally used a port/polished VF34 on my old WRX (stock JDM STi turbo) and it put down ~285whp on pump gas.

 

hahahahahahahaha what is with these threads lately, invasion of the teenagers!!!!!!

hemispereical piston technology has been around forever, its not that big of a deal, its a great design for what it is, but this thread is rediculous. the new hemis dont handle high hp mods from what i hear as well . boom

 

Check out the march edition of Car & driver . They have a 600hp turbo'd Jeep SRT-8, No boom.

 

yeah, im wondering where you read that as well...ive seen an srt8 300c with a remote turbo kit put down 600hp on stock internals.
