You will be able to get him from launch for sure.... Last night we had some private runs and I ran a sti. Launched @ 6.2k rpm. He had a down pipe and pulley he said... I lost by 2.5 cars. That was an sti, so I'm sure you'll be able to get a wrx pretty good.

you will get pwned off the line, better hope he doesnt know how to do a redline clutch dump......sub 2 second 60 foot times means you will be playing catch-up.
from a roll, should be a drivers race, both high13/low 14 second cars.....my nod goes to the S2K

probably because 90% of them are.
And it was an assumption on my part, but the way he was speaking made me think he was stock, or close to.

a properly launched WRX can probably get closer to 1.7 60' times. that's an ass whupping if you get a 2.0-2.1.
as for what they actually run, unless he's willing to do a high rpm clutch slip launch, he won't get a 1.7. and you'll beat him easily.

So his sub-2 second (i.e. 1.9) 60ft can own my 2.0-2.1 really bad huh?

this wrx is probably at 240whp if tuned, so to the people saying that the S would kill the wrx from a roll, i wouldnt be TOO confident. obviously it comes down to driver but 240whp isnt gonna do that bad against a stock S2000 (roll or dig). also, to the comment about redline clutch drops; not a lot of wrx owners will do that knowing about the weak-ass wrx tranny.
