Hey all, I'm currently in the market for a new car. I've always had a thing for eclipses, but how would a 2g gsx stack up against a wrx(non-sti).

I've narrowed it down to a wrx or a gsx, and just curious as to everyone's opinions. The car would potentially be used for auto-x, as well as a few drag strip passes every now and then.

Has anyone had any experience with the newer wrx's? Im currently interested in an 09 wrx hatch. Just cant decide if I want to deal with that high of payments monthly.

Let me know!

I used to own a 2g gsx and I now own an impreza 2.5 rs. I can honestly say that my stock 2.5 rs handles way better than my gsx. My buddy has a 02 or 03 (can't remember) wrx and that thing is much more comfortable than my old 2g. dsms are easy to make fast, but as far as reliability and drivability, I'd go with a wrx.

I hear that the new subarus ride great! I test drove an 09 and I loved it.

Im honestly concerned with keeping up with some of my buddies though. I dont want to be the slow guy! How do the wrx's stand with the gsx in the 1/4 mile? Most of my friends run at rockfalls and what not. I know the new wrx's are putting 265 at the crank, and theres some people on the subaru forums that are claiming 230hp/277tq at the wheels.

A stock '09 WRX will destroy a stock GSX in every performance aspect.

When it comes to modding, the sky's the limit on both of these. It just takes money. Buy what you like :)

Do what the pocket book says. Maybe find a nice used 08 WRX or something so you can get a lower payment. Brand new cars seem like a bit of waist of $$ to me. Get the tittle in your name, drive it off the lot and the value drops by $2K on the spot. (Or at least that's what it seems like) Seems dumb to me. Unless the 09's are THAT much better.
