You really dont buy a Subaru to go fast.

Huh? My buddy has a VF 39 swapped WRX with a cobb AP, TBE, uppipe, and intake and the thing is in the very, very, very low 13s for about 2500 bucks in mods.

Pretty dumb setup right? SVO's the same way. When I swapped to an ebay special FMIC I dropped a consistant 2 tenths or so and gained ~3mph...

It just goes against logic to put something that is supposed to cool the air on top of a big heat producer doesn't it? lol

I know a few users on wrxmodders.com who would disagree with that.

There are some mean WRX's out there. I beat the guy by maybe by a car and half but look what at what I've done to my car. It would be hard to beat any car that's AWD IMO.

if 13s is fast, then ok.

The new wave of subaru owners with 02-07 gens are just for the most part ricers. The WRX is the new Civic.

There are guys out there with subaru wagons putting down well over 400hp at the wheels.

My *** people don't buy them to go fast. And that is a wagon I'm talking about. Major sleeper.

With that retarded mentality then people who buy Mustangs are nothing but 13-14 sec ricers.

You are lost Jake. Amazes me how you can own a Subaru and know nothing about them. BONE STOCK STIs are mid 13s all day long. The newest WRXs are also in the 13s stock. The potential of modded WRXs, Legacy GTs, Forester XTs, and STIs are limitless, regardless of year. I'm not even going to comment on your "all subaru owners are ricers" or your civic comment...... You did a good enough job of showing your mentality.
