oh...i wouldnt say that now. some of us have some top end.

 

is the stock wrx top end even worse than a mustangs??

 

by far. we trap at about 94mph bone stock. it just gets worse the faster we are. i got into the 12's only trapping 105mph. for reference, my neon was pulling 13.8's @101.

 

Good kill. Ive never had a problem with WRX's. Never raced an STi though.

 

good kill
i raced a sti and gt at the same time before i did the pulley swap, and really killed them both. it was fun. the gt beat the sti also, gt had spintec catback, (im sure i spelled it wrong) and it sounded like crap.

 

Yep. Stock they trap ~93. Worse yet, third takes them to ~95 with 4th going to 135+. So in stock form they're dogs in the triple digits. But with a factory turbo, upgrades are easy, so those with a bigger snail can have a respectable top end. Some have different gears too: my 4th redlines at ~112.

 

ah, you have the RA set too? best ratios ever. i lowered the final drive to 4.1...i think i redline around 109 or so.
