What to buy... WRX or 240?

[profall]

I've owned 2 Subaru's in the past. An 04 STI (sold it a while back), an 03 WRX Wagon (Which I literally just sold a few days ago).

I already put a deposit on a heavily modified WRX Wagon which I had been looking at for a while. He's getting a few kinks worked out with the car and I will be paying the full price of the car once it's all worked out.

However, a good friend of mine recently bought a S13 with a Ka-T setup and it seems like a really awesome car.

I've been looking at another ka-t S14 for quite some time. And it is much cheaper then the WRX. However, it will not be as fast.

I have only known Subaru's the past 3-4 years I've been modding cars. I am not quite sure if its time to move on or not. The 240 seems like a very awesome car, it's very uncontrolled and raw which I like. I've always been a fan of RWD and I am getting sicked of the absolute control and grip AWD provides. I think I may be becoming a fan of going sideways.

If you could give me any advice that'd be awesome, I really cannot make up my mind. And it kind of sucks I put a deposit down already.

Stick with the Subaru. It won't give you nearly as many headaches.

ls1 s14 = panty dropper

KA-Ts are good at making power for the 4 minutes before they blow. I'd stick with Subaru.

LOL UM...

Why is this even a debate. NOTHING a 240 can do would make me pick one over a WRX.

Agreed. This shouldn't even be a question.

I've had 2 wrx's and an s14. The 240 was cool for driftin, but thats about it. Subaru is just a better all around car. Im on my 2nd subaru now. The only way I would get another 240 is if it was a project car...not a daily.

[Hatmanafro]

i bust nuts over 240s so i say get the 240

Proof that you should get a Subaru.

[aeaddy03]

i've never had a subaru but i did own a s13 and it was alot of fun. so my vote is for the 240 and put that extra money into the car and make it even better. my .02

[Got Milk?]

So you want to join the "drift" club wanna be F&F. If you are serious with this thread, you shouldn't sit in another Subaru again. AWD FTMFW!

[quickdodge®]

I agree with anyone that said Subaru. If you have the funds to get a Subaru, why would a 240 even be in the equation? They're not nearly as nice or good looking. There is no comparing the two. Later, QD.

I suppose it depends what you're looking for. You can build a pretty respectable s13 with the money you would spend on the WRX. However, it's also no comparison for me. I'd go with the Subaru. This is honestly a stupid comparison, stock for stock the WRX outclasses any 240 in every way.

[profall]

So, I thought about it. And I am getting both. Bought the WRX I put a deposit on, and I have some extra cash that I am going to use to purchase a 240. Probably going to daily the 240, and the WRX will be my weekend car. I think it will be better this way anyway. I hear it's always good to have a beater/daily and then keep your fast cars for the weekend/track/autocross etc...

[driftORdrag]

Becareful you may have too much fun with the 240 and end up having the WRX as the beater and the 240 as the track car.

[-EnVus-]

Just use both and make a Frankenstein and car call it a WR40 lol

[quickdodge®]

Becareful you may have too much fun with the 240

Don't see that happening. Later, QD.

^^^LMAO, I'm with the popular opinion Subie, I love 240s, but Subies are just a different class of car

[Hatmanafro]

... im still bustin nuts......

[OnURleft]

both suck a lot BUT, if given the two options i'd go WRX without a doubt

[metro larev]

well now that you joined the 240 groupe your obligated to getting all sideways all the time hahaha

[RL...]

stock for stock the wrx hands down....but I'd take a nicely built s14 kouki/s15 over a built suby any day

[FoolsDrifFWD]

i know its been said like 30 times but get the GDB. I mean your talking about a DD rite?? you have to keep an eye on the 240 because of all the shit that goes down. + the GDB is a newer car.

i was in this same situation a couple weeks ago then i went and test drove a 1990 hatchback with a type x sr20det motor swap with some minor mods and LSD and after the test drive i knew whati wanted 240 all the way the subie might be nicer as far as looks but the 240 is 20 years old but with a little work it can look just as nice but its all your opinion on what u want!
