My last car was an SER Spec-V which was a 6sp. I totally miss having six gears. 5 is too long and boring, and jolty some times. I dont mean check out an STi and tell me if its cool or not, I mean go drive an STi and you will understand where the rest of us are coming from since theres really no such thing as a stockWRX/STi/EVO... blah blah, Unless is brand new or in for warranty work.

Bah, you just need a engine with broad torque. 5 is plenty, maybe even one too many. Another problem with the WRX, the clutch is too heavy. I don't want a 6 spd with a clutch like that, I'd be walking crooked. I'm really nit picking though. And I when I said check out I meant go drive.

Buster · 01-26-2007, 07:42 PM

see, we are never going to agree. I like a pedal like that. I do on the other hand not like the pedal feel on the 06+ models. All of them have no pedal feel whatso ever. I dont really appriciate cars that drive themselves. I like ones that need you to do the work.

Raven18940 · 01-26-2007, 07:55 PM

I like a medium length throw clutch that's light. I'm using the clutch entirely too much to have it be hard. My brakes on the other hand, I like those firm, sport pads FTW.

BAM!

And I love a heavy pedal. My Stage 1 act is starting to feel too soft and I want something like a cusco twin disk....

Buster · 01-27-2007, 01:55 AM

haha how about a ACT 6 puck unsprung. my buddy has that in his STi. I cant drive it to save my life.

**Ender81** · 01-27-2007, 02:46 AM

Save the light clutches for the luxury cars. Performance oriented cars should not have a clutch without some feel to it. If I got into a WRX, STI, EVO, Vette, Mustang or whatever and the pedal felt like I was driving my grandfathers Caddy I would be very dissapointed.

Buster · 01-27-2007, 02:57 AM

amen!

If you think the wrxclutch is heavy then you definately should not get a german car, specifically a bmw or porsche.

However the S2000 clutch is light as a feather

All I can say is I've driven saabs, I have no clue what your talking about with feedback. They are the most disconnected cars I have ever driven, in fact it was quite scary so I don't know what you are talking about here, but I'm probably wrong saabs are probably the best handling cars ever

doug · 01-27-2007, 03:56 AM

Is this thread serious? WRX>SAAB. end of story.

Well my clutch is far from lacking in feel, but hey, make whatever assumptions you want.

Whatever, I think saab has a better engine.

I convinced that either 1) this thread was a joke or 2) this guy just hates WRX's.

MPowerKai · 01-27-2007, 01:12 PM

Subaru Imprezza World Rally Cross Subaru Technica International is where it's at
