| | Inside Line: First Drive: 2004 Subaru WRX STi - The Beauty of Intercooling and Turbocharging (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | We saw the first glimpse of it in the 2002 Impreza WRX, and it will continue with the 2004 WRX STi and 2004 Forester, before eventually spreading to much of the company's lineup. |
 | | The steering ratio on the STi is quicker than on the WRX (15.2 to 1 versus 16.5 to 1), the car rides 0.4 inch lower, and all STis feature Brembo brake components and 12.7-inch front rotors (12.3 inches for the rear brakes). |
 | | The WRX was the company's first foray into providing Americans with a serious road car, and it succeeded beyond expectations (to all of you who bought one, and contributed to the notion of an American STi, let me be the first to say, "Thanks!"). |
