Question about 2.5 RS
How much faster is the 1999+ Subaru Impreza 2.5rs then a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt? Is the handling as good as the WRX, and Is it pretty powerful?
Thanks

Re: Question about 2.5 RS
Handling on the '98 through 2001 RS is pretty close to the WRX, if you buy a coupe, the sedan is a little less stiff, but not significantly.
Faster than which model Cobalt?

Re: Question about 2.5 RS
Stock, the 99-01 2.5RS does not handle quite as well as the WRX, but if you put a decent set of tires on it, it will handle better. The differential setup is not quite as good, but it is also significantly lighter.
I've never driven a Cobalt, but the 2.5RS should be about 1/2 way between the base Cobalt and Cobalt SS in terms of power and top speed.

the '01 2.5RS put down ~165hp (~120whp) the '05 Cobalt puts down 145hp (~120whp) They are pretty evenly matched.. The 2.5 will get the jump.. but not by much... The 2.5 runs 0-60 in ~7.5s, the Cobalt is ~9s.. The Cobalt SS will walk a 2.5RS all week.. but that's apples to oranges..  -Shane
