How fast is a wrx??
 

Hey what does a wrx run in the quarter mile??? Not the sti, just the base model because i raced one from a 50 mph roll and beat him by about a car and a half. my crx only runs 15.9 best to date, i know i can get better times just had shitty tires at the time. so what do wrx's run??

are you sure he was actuallyacing you?

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

yep i'm positive, it was a wagon tho and he only had a bov.
I guess they kinda lose power from a roll considering they are awd?

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

think so they're strenght is in the launch.

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

yeah, but the thing is, their hela tricky to launch correctly. you really have to drive it like your gonna kill it. my bro has a 2002 wrx with all the trimmings, and to this day, he still cannot launch the car perfectly. but once he gets roling, he is unrelentless.

i have seen very stock looking wagons run 14.0.. I thought the wagon and the sedan weigh pretty much the same?

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

hmmmm thats funny, you say you raced a wrx at 50mph. i really don't think he was racing you. even a wagon at 50mph second gear role will tare your ass up.

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

you know... the guy driving the wrx might not know how to race very well. at illegals once, my friend who had a stock crx dx RAPED a gsr, by like four car lengths or something rediculous. the guy with the gsr was like wtf? however, since the dude he raced was his friend, he asked if they could switch cars and try again. it was a different story when they switched cars, and of course the gsr won. if they raced at 50mph, the guy in the wrx might not have downshifted enough, and probably shifted REALLY slow.

i believe your story red_si. ;)

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

i didn't say i didn't believe you but i really don't think he was racing you. but, like quickcrx702 said he could of been a really bad driver. how fast where you going before the race was over.

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

are you sure it was a wrx, not just an impreza :P

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

Yeah, 2.5 RS's look almost identical to WRX's nowadays, even if he was a bad driver, his third gear would have killed you too, there is no excuse for a WRX being that slow.

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

my bros wrx puts m5's, and 911's to shame. lol. but like i said, the car is hella tricky to launch correctly. but once you past that point, all hell breaks loose and the turbo kicks in. but they have weak gear boxes, so that probobly explains why most wrx fanatics dont want to really punch their wrx, cus they will twist up the gearbox, like some guy at the sube dealership said.

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

sorry i haven't reply'd lately.

no i'm positive it was a wrx and it wasn't a 2.5rs, do they even make the 2.5rs in the wagon form nowadays?? anywyas, i know for a fact he was racing because of how loud it was and i usually don't race people up to 90 without them racing??? anyways, my crx has been known to take out modded gsr's and bolt on rsx's. my time of 15.9 just sucks b/c of not having decent tires. oh well

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

15.9 at what mph

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

god damnit red_si, just tell us what you're running, much easier ;)

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

I don't have the timeslip on me but its a fully rebuilt a6 with a slight port job and a 3 angle valve job. fresh block with d16a1 pistons. I/H/E dual friction clutch, reprogrammed ecu, and stripped. If i can find the timeslip today i'll post the mph

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

maybe it was auto?

Re:How fast is a wrx??
 

it depends. the autos in a wrx is like an auto in a supra. they can still plant allot of power even with a auto gearbox.
