WRX's Not too fast???????
I was looking at 1/4 mile time on clubwrx.net and was not too impressed with some of the 1/4 mile times, and the MPH's were not too good eaither, most of them below 100 mph for stock ones.
60ft times were ok i guess 1.8-1.9 but I can get 2.00 in my Z28
I guess they just dont have good top end but can launch good.
Whats your experiances with WRX's

Regular WRX's run a low 14 sec. 1/4 mile. The STi can run a low to mid 13 sec. pass. It runs out of gas at top end though.
It's when they're modded that you worry.

When my car was stock I used to race my friend's stock WRX all the time. He'd get about 1.5 lengths on the launch but by mid 3rd gear I'd have him by 2 lengths. That's with a stock and SLOW E36 M3. Not so stock now, but still slow.

Stock WRXs only trap about 93-94mph.
But, don't forget, they only have 227-230hp. STi has 300hp and can trap over 100mph with mid to low 13's.
Considering how little power the WRX has, it's quite quick. Even a stock one will definitely get the jump on you on the street.
Seriously though...... what'd you expect with 227hp??? Kinda funny that it has the same 0-60 as a stock ls1 fbody.

Just think if the LS1 F-Body had AWD
On the street is it very hard not to roast the tires on a LS1 F-Body. You have 300-350 HP going to two wheels
In the WRX you have 227 going to 4 wheels

The rear suspension is the same as from a 1982 Camaro
I did upgrade mine with tubular rear lower control arms (Yet to run it at thr track with these)
I wonder if with the RLCA, new 245/50/16 tires, and the addition of the SLP smooth bellows I wonder if a 12.9 could be possible? I have run a best of 13.3@106 with 2.0-2.1 60ft

Im not impressed with the regular WRX at all. My Friend with a mildly modded BMW 323i 5 spd beat a wrx by a good 2-3 cars.

It would launch harder, then be slower from there. Plus, the added weight would hurt handling and fuel economy.
You can pull 1.8 60' times with just drag radials. (like the wrx).
Either way, they're decently quick cars for what they are. And they're pretty cheap to mod.
At a stoplight, they're dangerous. It takes till 80mph or more to catch up. By then, the race is over. The difference is that they'll still pull a 1.8 60' on the street while we'll pull closer to a 2.4 (white lines at the light KILL traction).

The day that I ran my 12.8, there were thre STI's running. The best time put down by them that day was 13.7. One stayed in the 14's. I know they are much quicker than that if the driver launches correctly.

As far as stock WRX's go: eat 'em up all day
Stock STI: If you've got some basic mods or are a real good driver, eat 'em up all day
Modded STI's: Hope he just has bolt-ons and not a bigger turbo. That's when things get sticky...

not to get off the subject I saw a black EVO (both sure what year) run a 13.4and 13.2 that last time i was out at the track.
What kind of MPH do they trap?
