2008 COBB Tuning Subaru WRX STI

摘要

This little Subaru wagon will beat a Shelby GT500 Mustang to 60 before dropping it like a bad habit around the nearest corner. Jump on the brakes at the same speed, and it'll stop in a retina-detaching 98 feet-as short as a $200,000 Porsche 911 GT2. Surprising? Only slightly. These days, stories of tuned-up Japanese rally sedans breaking off sports cars costing tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars more, are hardly news.The real story is how Salt Lake City's COBB Tuning balanced performance and practicality in its STI. The big surprise is what COBB hasn't done. Along with a new shifter ($165), shifter bushings ($35), redesigned airbox ($125), and turbo heat shield ($50), COBB only added its Stage 2+ Power Package ($2360), which includes a 3.0-inch downpipe with high-flow catalytic converter, air intake, catback exhaust, and, most important, its proprietary AccessPORT system.
