u car is barely 200hp to the wheels, is rather heavy, old, and with stock gears aint gonna be that fast
a wrx has boost, and even stock they are fast.
get a supercharger on your stock engine, as long as you dont boost too much you can do it by just upgrading the fuel system or do a HCI swap
or...
if you are on a budget

Heads cam intake........

So you expect your cheap (stock) car to be faster than a new expensive car? Drop a few grand into your car and you'll beat the majority of whats on the road.
