Drivin home other day noticed a wrx with a kid about 19 or so lol, managed to get up behind him at a light and he was revving. Right there I had an immediate 1 or so car lengh disadvantage. And being behind him I had to wait to see if he was going to floor it or not because I didnt want that ugly blue paint on my bumper.

He floored it and so did I. About 60ish mph I was pulling hard and about 90ish when I hadda slam on my brakes due to traffic ahead I was at least 1 car length in front of him. I pulled into the gas station to buy some brew and he pulled in behind me and we actually bs'd for a few minutes. He was a cool guy to say the least, and of course he used the I have a 4 cylinder and you have 8 excuse but either way I was not expecting that as the wrx's are pretty damn quick.

The best part was the worried look I could see on his face on his rear view mirror as he was being reeled in lol. I even said I wonder how much worse it would have been if we were both lined up at a light instead of me behind him lol.

 

DUMBASS... for the waiting soo long to brake. Yeah i street race but i dont want till I have to SLAM the Brakes. Personally i would LOVE to have a WRX in WR Blue. With the Yellow Subie Flag on it, yeah id definately Rally it out. Good kill. Did he say he had any mods?

 

ok didn't really SLAM but braked Hard lol. He was a 5 speed, I'm auto. He didn't really mention any big mods so to speak. If I was stock it prolly would have been a whole different story though.

 

I'd think a stock auto 04 GT would be a pretty good race against a stock WRX.

 

Good kill. Now go race one of those ugly blue STI's.

 

A regular WRX only shines 0 to about 40 ish. It's a traction monster. But once you reach a speed where traction is not the limiting factor, you gotta remember than a stock WRX only puts down about 165 awhp. Basically, a stock +05 stang puts down almost 100 more horsepower than a stock WRX. A stock WRX runs out of steam very quickly after the launch. Here's a stock WRX dyno if you care. http://images.sportcompactcarweb.com...aruwrx04_z.jpg

 

I think your specs are a weeeee bit short. It is pushing over 200 horses and over 200 ft lbs of torque.

Engines & Power(more) 2.5 RS WRX Standard Engine 2.5L 165 hp
H4 2.0L 227 hp H4 Horsepower 165 @ 5600 RPM 227 @ 6000 RPM Torque (lb-ft) 166 @ 4000 RPM 217 @ 4000 RPM

 

Oh HELL NO lol... Maybe once I get my mongoose kit

 

Nah corners is correct on the whp numbers. Stock WRXs definitely don't dyno anywhere close to 200whp, most average in the 165-175 range.

 

I had a mongoose kit for my old GT - MPH is great to work with. Highly recommended.
