My sister has a '06 9-3 Sportcombi with automatic. 9-3 is faster off the line. Si pulls away easy with the big cam. You need a calendar to time the turbo lag on a 9-3. 9-3 sedan with a manual transmission may be lighter and faster... don't know.

that car is an old fat slow wrx, the si will destroy it as long as it still has the oem turbo on it.

Saabaru is the 9-2X. The 9-3 is saab/gm. I think the turbo is Mitsubishi.

Yes. A low 15/high 14 second car will destroy a low/mid 14 second car stock for stock. You got it buddy. Turbo back/reflash will put it into stock STI territory.

(And thats a 9-2 aero)
