He even admitted this wasn't a serious thread. So why continue? This has been discussed here before. Just a waste of time IMO. Maybe he could actually contribute something substantial to the forum instead.

Wow this is gay, who cares we all have the same ride here, so anyone would stand by their car or else we would be drivein a wrx. It's all about the driver when on the track, on the street at a stop it's diffrent. Think about it guys if we go to any other forum like hundai tibs. and say my ***** faster then yours, the same ***** gonna happen.

That depends on who you ask.

The average of the big 3 magazines puts them within 9/100ths of a second.

From a roll stock for stock a '05 or older WRX will keep about even with an RX-8 til nearly 100 at which time the RX-8 will inch away. From a dig with close to equal drivers the WRX should win every time 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Anyone who thinks differently is fooling themselves. There are of course exceptions due to the driver. Also, they dyno almost excatly the same and I've seen them run on the same dyno and come within a few hp of one another.


Oh, and Toca, you're full of **** and are a perfect example of why there is no streetracing on forums and it's a crime what you do to the english language. You want a WRX to race in Socal I'll find you one, would you prefer a 10, 11, 12, or 13 second one?

Sic, this is a good forum with some fanbois that can ruin things, you just got off to a bad start, streetracing isn't allowed on the forums and your first question just wasn't a good way to introduce yourself.

<waits for the lock>

Uh, well, obviously you do since everything you type translates EXACTLY with that one in particular in BOTH directions.
