Can you say TRACTION!?! Those may not be slicks, hard to tell, but even if they're just DR's, damn....

Pretty sure they are radials, you can see the tread lines on the corner of the sidewall if you look. Plus the shape at the transition is wrong for slicks.

so is it just a poser or did it actually run?
 
9.80's...not a bad start ;)

not sure I get what all the fuss is over though, sure it's the first WRX in the 9's but the DSM's have been there for quite some time. Even saw a video of one that was running low 8's and high 7's the other day, with AWD and a stickshift as well.

I think the transformer is cooler ;)

It's not the fastest WRX by any means. It just happens to be the fastest manual transmission WRX that anybody knows about. There are other 9.xx WRX's out there, but they're all auto.

I really don't see why someone would want to take a WRX and make it into a 9 second beast. That's what Mustangs are for. It would be like trying to make a Mustang an autocross/open track beast. What's the point? :shrug: :jester:
