Why is Everyone SOOOO Scarred of AWD.. Yes they can Launch HARD (most dont cause you will break the Gears) and a 14 second car is STILL a 14 second Car.... There is a Kid around here with a 340whp Cobra that wont race my friends STock WRX cause "its AWD he will kill me" SOo, moral of the story, you will beat one from a DIG or Roll...(Roll ALOT Worse) .... YOU run a 13.2 in the 1/4 and your Scarred of an STI?? From a Dig you should take one witha 13.2 and from a Roll you can Destroy an STI/Evo stk.....

if you go from a dig, the WRX will kill you on the launch. I can outrun an older WRX non-sti (03 or so), but I WILL NOT mess with an STI. It should be close if you can launch without spinning too much.

As far as the WRX or the STi... When I was mostly stock I wasn't too concerned with them. They aren't as easy to launch for the average driveras everyone thinks. Sticky tires and the holeshot would determine the outcome of a race between an STi (stock) and a bolt on GT in my opinion and experience.

RE: wrx
wrx/sti,evo = punk assed kids
cobra/camaro,mach 1, gt = grown *** men
You can make a muscle car own any of these imports with the proper platform and the proper direction of funding. You can put a bigger turbo and fart can and whatever else to dyno 800whp on an import and I still won't give a shyt. I'll take a 12 sec street muscle car over a 9 sec import machine any day...My dad will recognize all my stangs and even get dirty under one, but if I came home with a supped up import he'd prolly laugh....But his 70 fastback "trailer queen" is why I own a mustang and why I always will....

I know these questions are asked quite a bit, but I haven't been here in a while and just wondering really quick: Would I be able to beat a new WRX, not sti. I raced one a few days ago but I had 3 other people in my car and a full tank of gas, it was only himself. And he didn't really make it clear that he wanted to race so I didn't really punch it, but in a fair race where I really know whats going on, how would it go down?

As far as STi looks, they're definitely "love it or hate it" type cars. I kind of put my STi into a whole different class of cars. Basically only the interior and chassis are stock now, so I don't even consider it a Subaru anymore.
To the OP... you should be able to take a stock WRX no problem. They're difficult to launch and don't do too well from a roll in stock trim
