Cool WRX Club Spec vs Liberty GT spec B

Just curious on opinions. If your requirements were luxury cruiser, with some sporty attitude and some tuning potential for the future higher hp which one would you get?

Much more suited to liberty's. They'll get you there comfortably and very very quickly too should you be in a hurry. Just as tuneable as a wrx tbh. Best of both worlds and a much more refined daily.

The club spec is a WRX with leather + sunroof and other mild but handy cosmetic/peformance/handling tweaks. Power wise, same as most other wrx's (I think the CS9's got a gigantic 10hp more....or that could be the TBSTI version). Mod wise, just like any other WRX.

You have to spend some extra to get a Spec B to have the performance parts to get to Club Spec. Lib doesn't have the light rims, short shift and ,say lower "pink" springs but does have superior interior and sound. Say $5k for the bits. Tuning makes the Lib very quick - sub 6 to 100 easily with mine.

So the Lib is my answer - but needs better seats with more lateral support.

Liberty any day of the week, less chance of it being vandalised when you park it too.

Went from a Club Spec 8 WRX to the GT Spec B Liberty... No question the Lib is a comfier cruiser... 2.5 & 6 speed are much less effort to drive(less racier anyway)... plus they get up and boogie with a few well placed mods...

The WRX will make more power with similar mods for the most part, but the extra room and comfort make up for it IMO...
