I was thinking it was 6.0 sec to 60, but now I see that was reported as an "estimated time" from motortrend. Edmunds really did get 7.3sec to 60.. wow

I understand the whole "good all around car" theory. I think it is definetly that. But if I were to get one, I need some punch from the factory and when a the 0-60 time is only a second faster than a 4cyl Camry, it kills it for me. I don't need balls to the wall fast, but I think if the car was around 230-240hp I, personally, would enjoy it more.

then go drive your boring understeering family car...0-60 in 7 ish seconds is fine with me, I'm probably putting my deposit down this weekend

Im on the stock tune on the WRX and I think it's too quick sometimes, this car will be like a rwd version of my old SE-R, which was the most fun car Ive had.

200 hp in a car thats nearly 500lbs lighter than the WRX will be plenty of fun

It's essentially a RWD SI.
I'm not saying it's bad, and i'm not saying it won't be fun as hell. But, the thing I hated about my SI at the dragon was the CONSTANT gear changing to keep the RPMs up so the car would attempt to keep up with you guys. I just think it would be nice to have a little more power.

I say this as when I had the '09 Maxima there, handling was not there but the power/TQ was so I was able to0 keep up with most of the Si there as I couldn't corner well but came up on them quickly once out of the corner

Lots of power/torque doesn't really make the WRX fun, it's too easy to drive. I actually want to drive the car again.
Didn't you beat / keep up with Dawn in a drag race?? Boost really isn't as cracked up as everyone makes it out to be.
nope, not at all. The WRX has no power compared to my stage 2 WRX & STI friends in CT. I consider my car kinda slow.
The WRX is made to auto-x/track. Failure to do so is doing a disservice to the car's soul. I relate it to owning a Jeep Wrangler and never leaving the pavement.... what a shame.
On that note, my auto-x season starts tomorrow with an additional event on Sunday.
