Was his car stock? As far as i know they're about as fast as our cars stock, maybe a bit faster.

they are quiet a bit faster, i raced my friends '03 wrx and got spanked.

by 90 he had atleast 6 cars on me [:@]

I'd go heads cam an intake. there isn't much of a benifit supercharging a stock motor when you cant run very much boost.

i'd build it, then think about supercharging it, but thats just my personal opinion i guess.

I do believe in factory freaks. I think some 5.0s pull a little harder than others...stock. I've read that some dealers were beating up on brand new 5.0s when they got them in their showrooms, and noticed that, clearly, some were faster than others. I drove three comparable foxes before buying mine, and mine was the fastest of the three...by a lot...and one had 3:73 gears versus my 2:73s at the time. I've also heard others say that, stock, these cars made 180-200 to the wheels. Iftrue, that's quite a variance.

Their is no way a pretty much stock mustang can beat a pretty much stock wrx. Majority of wrxs have work done to them on the road like those little **** cans out the back but the reason why you get ripped is AWD. Off the line and in the long run that new technology is what is killing you even if the HP is in the same range. When I want to rip WRXs I call up my buddy who has a turbo lancer evoMR and roll with him.Get a H/C/I swap going and push almost to 300hp, then blow it[8D]. Now thats a mustang!

You have to be the first person ive ever known that said there car is a factory slow freak, usually everyone thinks there car is magically faster than all the other ones.

Personally, I think factory freaks are a common myth. There might be slight variances from car to car but nothing drastic to make one blow the other away. When comparing two models of the same car how they perform on the dyno or the track you have to consider the following:

-Where is the car located? Hot humid climate, colder climate, high or low altitude, etc.
-What dyno is it? No two dynos are exactly alike
-What track is it? How is the track prep? Is it a slow or fast track? who's driving it?
-How have the cars been maintained? Does one need a tune up over the other?

There are a bunch of different variables that will affect the performance of a car. I believe that these help determine what is called a "factory freak".

5spd GT

I do not believe in factory freaks.

There are differences in break-in, weight, lifetime condition, state of tune, driver, etc. between all the different cars.

Off the showroom, I see no difference than more than 5 rwhp difference between the two.

I have also known some people to say there car was a factory freak, only to tear down the engine and find there was work done.

your prob is you have a stock 94 mustang= slow and a boosted wrx = runs 14's easy..build your up to keep up
