Yesterday, i was on the way to Danville on 680 south. i was on 75 mph. all of a sudden, a black fully fixed-up WRX was trying to lick my a$$. and i got prepared to slam my S in 3rd gear but he was staying right back on my a$$. i was on the 1st lane and there were no other cars on 2nd lane. i changed to 2nd lane to let him go first, cuz i thouhgt that i could easily beat his, and i got ready to pull my S out. as soon as i changed the lane and looked at the mirror to see his whereabouts but i could see nothing cuz he already took his WRX very far front me. he was soooooooooo fast cuz i slamed to 3rd gear with its about 7-8rpm, id gone up to 130mph still i felt much lacking HP. he was gone with wind. it was terrible.
I swear to God, never ever run with WRX.

 

 

Yup - WRX's are fast stock, and can be made damn fast with a little cash. I'd like to see a loaded WRX post against a Lingenfelter 427TT Corvette. That would be a hell of a scene.

 

130mph in 3rd at only 7-8ooo rpm! Damn what tall ass gears to you have in your car!!!!! No wonder you felt no power!!! (What your saying is not possible; at least what I think your trying to say)

 

what im saying was i had gone up to 130mph in 6th gear. do u personally think its possible to pull out to 130 in 3rd gear? ur saying sound hell sarcastic?

 

I'm guessing that he was mistaking 5th for 3rd in the S's short shift pattern.

 

Your original post made sense to me. Just ignore the wise guys.

You think there's a WRX web site somewhere with a guy bragging about his "kill" against an S2000?

 

try and imagine the potential of the STI when it gets here this summer....HOLY SMOKES!!!

 

I wonder if the STI will be any better of a platform than the current WRX in terms of upgradability. I have not read of any changes to the bottom end of the engine. If I remember correctly the STI only has suspension, brakes, turbo, and header upgrades; all of which are replaced with a serios WRX upgrade.

Could someone please tell me whether this is correct or if I'm speaking through my bumm?

 

Sorry im not trying to be a smart ass, fix up your car if you worried about things like this. At 130 you should be pulling away from any Subaru!
