I am probably not as smart as you, but if I look at this graph it shows that full torque has pretty much arrived by 2500 rpm so I don't see where you get the 4000 rpm for max torque information. I also fail to see where you get that this car has a narrow power-band; the FRS actually has a very wide power-band from 2200 to 6500. I also am not smart enough to get your "grocery getter" comment? Can you please expand on the though? |

I beat this car every day and fail to see where every one gets their little silk panties in a twist over the "torque dip"? You would have to be one of those princesses with the pea-pod syndromes to really notice. Seems to be lot of these around n both the owner and non-owner camps. |

My previous winter car, 20111 WRX hatch 5 sod with Cobb Stg 1 flash was probably *slightly* quicker off the line than same year STI due to one less gear to shift 0-60.

With the Evo VIII and IX, there was concern over the 6sp transmission in the MR melting/shearing 4th gear from heavy track usage, it happened frequently enough that anything more than 10-15% more torque over stock could cause it. Some were adding oil coolers, but the guaranteed fix was to plop in the 5sp from the standard Evo because the gears were just plain fatter, and the tranny was mechanically a little more simple. Both transmissions were the same outer size, so the 6sp gears were narrower to make them fit. While it was a better tranny in every other department, it made sacrifices in strength. The 5sp was the go-to for anyone tracking the car a lot.
Apples and oranges, but in this case the 5sp was better purely for strength. In the 86, close ratio 6sp is the way to go for all the reasons mentioned already. I just wish it was designed and built a little better. |

Do you know anything about gearing for internal combustion engines?

After a few drives I'd think anyone can tell it kick you in the back from 2 to 3k but not much happens when you floor it after that until around 5k. I don't know why people don't think the power graphs don't show this.
