Default WRX Performance

I know that the WRX has been discussed a number of times but, here in Dallas the dealers are talking about a "Cobb HO" system as an option. It is supposed to drop the 0 to 60 times from 5.6 to 4.6 sec. Anyone know what is in the package?

They didn't quote a price on the radio but, I may take a drive over this weekend to see what it entails.

I checked out Cobb tuning earlier today. The kit went for about 4800 and it says it brings the HP up to 340 hp I believe. (I hope I was reading their site )

I've played Gran Tursimo 2 for a long time. Have you ever noticed that half of the cars shake like crazy (I can feel it with the analong on) and the other half shakes very little or none? The Impreza is one of the cars that shake voilently. So, no, I don't think the Impreza is built well enough to stand the pressure. I also checked on www.i-club.com about a post saying a lot of Impreza owners were tricked because of their cars weren't being built as well as the dealer said. So, now, the Impreza owners have to go to the dealer for repairs and who knows what else.
