In this video you are getting a look at the differences between an STI and WRX. Now, if you plan on getting these car, chances are you are going to modify them in some shape or form. Whether it's a front lip, performance mod, or an air freshener, it's most likely going to happen.
Both cars are modded to the point where they cost about the same. Erg, at least similar in price.
So hows does a stage 2 tuned e40 vs stage 1 sti? Well, we actually do race each other at the very end so skip to that if you that's what you are looking for.
other than that, enjoy and i hope this helped a smidge on your choice.

You don’t floor the STI at 2000rpms, you can possibly wear out the engine.. (causes of ringland failure) Lowest RPM you can floor it would be 3k. You should have taken the car to the winding roads, that is where you will see the clear difference between the WRX and an STI.

@JohnNguyenVincent 5 лет назад

The point that comes across are both cars have it's pros and cons. Many people believe the STI is better in every way. That's clearly no the case, especially in this 2015-2019 generation. Both being modified, the difference sway my opinion more. The WRX is cheaper upfront, cheaper to maintain, and cheaper every fill up. The STI is still Subaru best Halo car.

@ToxicityAssured 5 лет назад

@@JohnNguyenVincent Nothing can ever be better in every way. We agree that pros always go with cons. The STI is, to me, every bit as fast as any street car need be. The best mod anyone can ever do is learn to drive. A good drive can murder in an STI. The WRX could use a little help getting up to STI limits. So, from my point of view it's comparing the price of WRX+mods to just STI. At that point both cars are about equal in cost and performance. One has a warranty and no worries about acquired issues. Don't bs, modded cars ARE less reliable. I also don't do cosmetic mods so that may change the math some. As an owner of both, the gas difference is minimal. The difference between the STI and WRX is less than some 87 octane regular car and a WRX. Thanks for being a nice commenter!

@thenerdwave2666 3 года назад

I was fortunate enough to have owned both, I had a 2017 WRX, 365 whp on an E55 tune from Ron @ Phatbotti and currently a 2020 STI. Right now just intake, catback on the STI, with E85 planned at the end of the month. I'd absolutely rather daily the WRX and keep the STI for a weekend toy. It's more fuel efficient, the power band is in the lower RPM and the suspension is more comfortable. I didn't care for the shifter though, even with the STI short shift kit, but after adding the Perrin shift stop, it was much better. Plus its so easy to just add flex fuel, fuel pump and boom, tons of power. The STI needs more supporting modifications to do this. I do love the STI though, it has a more "raw" feel to it, and it likes to be driven hard. Can't really go wrong with either, just depends what the purpose is and your budget.

@diegotobar6839 6 лет назад

Drove my STi on Angeles Crest and ran into a couple of guys with e39 m3's and and had no problems running with them. The short gearing (and good heel-toe shifting) will keep you in the power in and out of the corners. There is little to no turbo lag if you're in the right gear.

@JohnNguyenVincent 6 лет назад

@Davidtru13 5 лет назад

I personally have a Wrx and I had the choice to purchase a new Wrx or a new STI. The reason I personally went with the wrx is because of the motor. I have too many friends that have had issues with the EJ and buddies putting down 380 - 400 hp to the wheels on the Wrx with full bolt one and e85. They so far haven’t had any issues but they replaced the head gasket to a stronger one just in case. I personally love both and still want a STI in the future, I just couldn’t compensate 10k more for the older motor over the Wrx which is still fun cars. Mad love and respect to both cars, they’re bad ass and I will never get the UEL sound which sucks but both cars are great. :)

@j.s.3414 6 лет назад

Which one? Well...do you like bigger displacement, better steering rack, suspension, transfer case, and a car you never have to explain "well I didn't get an STi because blah blah blah blah blah"?

@JohnNguyenVincent 6 лет назад

from just driving the two side by side on public roads. The main differences that are VERY apparent. (MODDED) -Power (wrx is better everywhere in the powerband, faster, and more efficient) -Transmission (Sti has better engagement, feels more similar a bolt action rifle in terms of engagement vs muted in the wrx). -Sound (rumble, distinct, loud vs more refine) Other stuff like super cool diff, limited slip, bigger brakes, and whatever gizmo, aren't really felt driving it pretty moderately on the street. Now would i personally get a STi? For the money probably not. The ej25 is exactly what i thought it would be ancient. Sounds cool but for the power and mpg... Because it's ancient there are a lot of things people know about the engine and you can build it. $$ Stock for stock, sti is better. Modded for modded. The wrx is much better solely because of the engine. It's a huge part of the experience. AJ likes his car better. So yeah. Now if the STi has all of the cool bits + a new engine. Now that's what i'm talking about.

@johntancredi5426 6 лет назад

Well...do you like ringland failure, head gasket failure/leaks, lifted heads, spun rod bearings, cracked pistons, cracked engine blocks/cylinder walls, making little power per mod, an engine that can't handle any power in stock form really? If so then the sti/ej257 is for you.

@johntancredi5426 6 лет назад

Oh and don’t forget that piston slap due to the stupidly overbored engine SOA did when trying to get it to be a 2.5l for us Americans. What a joke.

@JohnNguyenVincent 6 лет назад

I'm sure they will change it out for the 2020 model year.

@johntancredi5426 6 лет назад

I hope they change it out for a proper 2.0 liter engine. The 2.5 liter is just so it appeals to us Americans because we like displacement. We just want a proper 2.0 liter rally spec engine like the ej207 or 4g63/4b11.

@nyquil07na38 5 лет назад

The STI is for someone that tracks their car. Hydraulic steering, beefier trans, stiffer suspension, and the diff controller. I have had an 06 hawkeye wrx and 06 sti. I later purchased an 2016 wrx. The FA motor is way more efficient than the ej's but the stock throttle mapping sucks. The fuel economy is so much better in the FA motors but it should come with both direct and port injection. Out of all three I wish I would have kept the hawkeye sti. They have really held there value well and it was a blast to drive.

I missed the part about you making the WRX better than a STi with money saved. Your WRX is mostly looks and a tune. My wife drives a 2018 WRX and I have a 2017 STi. Both are awesome cars and perform great. There is such a difference between them. It's more than just power. The STi drivetrain is SO different. The locking center, front and rear make the car feel very different. Low speed turning, backing up turning, powering out of turns and uneven ground all feel very different between the cars. Compare the brakes between cars and look at the cost to add Brembos to a WRX. Compare the suspension and look at costs to modify. Compare a bevel gear viscous diff versus a planetary locking diff and look the the big cost to upgrade. You're young, ignorant and have wealthy parents. Remember to separate your opinions on things from facts of reality. The STi driver was humble, you are bothersome. The WRX is the best daily driver but kids want to pretend they are a purpose built performance car. STi will always be daddy and the WRX the child. It's just sometimes the WRX is the more chill option needed. (My 5 year old daughter likes the STi more.)

Remember that specs on paper and real life experiences differ from people to people. You stating the Sti is the halo car of subaru, that much obvious. Your insults about me and my parents show what type of person you are.

Ive had experiences with both and much more prefer a WRX for a daily. The STI is just way too stiff and is really only useful on a track. However the price diff between them you can easily mod a WRX to be way better than a factory STI.

Considering you guys don’t have power to weight ratio restrictions for new drivers you’d be an idiot buying an n/a if you wanted the turbo, you’ll just be annoyed you pissed away money when you could of saved for another year or so or just gotten a small loan for the better car

If you’re not planning on modding that much go with the wrx if you want some power in your car the STI is the way to go. Once you reach 300+ whp you start realizing how much bigger wheels, bigger brakes, better more durable 6 speed are needed.

@994gian 5 лет назад

Tbh I feel like people who responded negatively about how the red driver was comparing his WRX to the STI are a bit ignorant with the whole point of the video. He’s obviously to trying to make a point on the pros and cons of both cars and how a cheaper WRX can be in the same level as the STI. That’s literally it. Regardless on how he explained it, he explained every single point and that’s the reason why this video was uploaded. Nothing arrogant or biased about this.

@JohnNguyenVincent 5 лет назад

thanks 994, i'm not a professional and i shoot these videos for fun! There are cars like the Type R where i would be like yup better than the wrx even with the mods I have. The STi however, it's a different story. Thanks for the comment!

@mrgogt_ 6 лет назад

J.Ralph Roman that EJ makes a huge difference 🔥

@sleeper.simulant7327 6 лет назад

J.Ralph Roman unequal length headers are for ricers. Fast STi’s sound like the WRX cause they have EL’s, those are the STi’s you know not to try to roll on. EL’s keep the overall engine temp cooler because they exhaust more efficiently and turbo scavenging is greatly improved which means broader power band and better throttle response

@WitchDoctor87 4 года назад

STI is much better on track, but the WRX is better as a daily driver. The 0 - 60 is pretty much the same for both cars. The top speed the STI beats the WRX. Big difference here is a 2.0L and a 2.5L however the 2.5L for the STI is out dated.
