Yea, an STi would kick your ass if you're stockBurningRubber said:WRX's are good off the launch, if the driver can drive. Aside from that I wouldnt worry too much.
If its an STi though, they are a good bit quicker and usually have better ET's than stock GT's.
Did you just say a stock 06 WRX sedan puts down 250-255whp? The car has a 2.5L engine making 230hp at the crank. Hows that possible? If it had 255whp along with its AWD, i freaking get one myselfPennywise2 said:Coming from someone how actually drives a Suby car.
The 06 WRX's are somewhat faster than the pre-06's car.
The 06 WRX's put down 250-255 whp on a dyno and a low 14's
are possible in stock form.IF he has a turbo upgrade like a 16g or 18g,
cylinder head work,full exhaust and new maps stage 2 don't race
him or you could be the laugh of the night.I think if you can beat low
14's go for it and race at the track I hope.
Actually the WRX's and STI's are highly underrated by everyone.HoustonGT said:Did you just say a stock 06 WRX sedan puts down 250-255whp? The car has a 2.5L engine making 230hp at the crank. Hows that possible? If it had 255whp along with its AWD, i freaking get one myself
displacement disagreesPennywise2 said:.Also the WRX's and STI's responder better to mods than mustangs.
I disagree big time.DerekStangGT said:displacement disagrees
EDIT: although nothing makes sense with FI cars
True,but from a launch they will rape you quickly the question is02LaserRed2V said:just remember, AWD sucks from a roll..
dont get me wrong, im not dissing them at all. ive done a lot of reading about WRXs/STi's. i was thinking about buying one for a while, plus my mom drives one. im sure the turbo loves the extra .5 displacement, but from what ive seen, mods are still not as effective as larger displacement cars. manifolds are pretty useless on them. i think an up-pipe/down-pipe is probably comparable to an o/r mid pipe plus plenum/TB, right? one of the biggest reasons i didnt get a Subie was the price of parts. so damn expensive. $1500 will barely get you an A/P, up/down pipe. all that is good for, what, like 35 awhp? weak.Pennywise2 said:I disagree big time.
I don't blame him since you have a KB and a six speed transmission.02LaserRed2V said:There are a few modded sti's that frequent the local track and NONE of them rape from off the line. In fact, one of them (claims he makes 310awhp) even refused to line up against me.
wow, how often do you visit the track? a rwd car with traction (DR's) is capable of 1.8 60's, which is the pretty decent for an AWD car. its not even a big deal for a RWD car on slicks to run consistent 1.6's. a feat that you would be hard pressed to find in an AWD.Pennywise2 said:I don't blame him since you have a KB and a six speed transmission.
If he was making 310 whp than he probably only had bolton's.If he
had a huge turbo upgrade and tune I bet that guy would race you for
sure.All the races at the track I have ever seen AWD vs. RWD the
person in the RWD car will get owned off the period.
