IOWNU Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 One of my mates owns a Subaru WRX.... he says that everytime he comes against a SKyline he smokes em nice. IS this TRUE? He said he's even done GTR's, and GTST"S are no challenge. Frankly, I find that hard to believe. Everyone will agree that the WRX stands no chance against the GTR, but what are its chances against the GTT R34 or modified GTST Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15166-nissan-skyline-vs-subaru-wrx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkey Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Bullshit. Maybe the GTST's. Not the R's. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15166-nissan-skyline-vs-subaru-wrx/#findComment-308980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 WRX owners have an inflated opinion of their own cars I've seen. Does he ever mention whether these skylines are even trying? Stock for stock maybe, but a modded GTS-T should be able to beat them. I don't have trouble with the couple of rexes i have tried, even once an STi wasn't that difficult. Only advantage WRX is AWD so gets power off the line and maybe cornering.. otherwise GTS-T with a bit of power should be quicker and easily catch it. GT-R ? What crack is he smoking? Does he even know what a genuine GTR looks like? I mean WRX only have 170kw stock anyhow.. Their upgrade potential is also less bang for buck that skyline as well - most of the time the drivetrain or gearbox falls apart when you put more power through them.

Ender Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Tell him he's dreamin.... He's probably been racing rb25de 's with gtr bodykits...

skyline33 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I think stock for stock the wrx should be quicker off the line but once a gtst hits second and third, i reckon it'll be pretty even.

CR34TION Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 my friend had a r32 gtst with zorst, filter and i think fmic... he beat a modded rex in the straight, but got killed in the bends. rexies are over rated.

Frosty Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Stock against stock the gtst would beat it at the line to because the rex actually bogs down first because of the AWD system. I have seen standard Gtst beet rexs all the time they are hopeless thats me hey wouldnt mind some of that crack thats hes smoking dickhead some people got no idea what so ever all well Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15166-nissan-skyline-vs-subaru-wrx/#findComment-309107 Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 um..chop i'd say you get your bottom smacked... i should be able to take it however i'd say it would be close between his car and mine though. Similar weight and things between GTS-T and skyline Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15166-nissan-skyline-vs-subaru-wrx/#findComment-309130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodge Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Having owned a MY 99 WRX and now a R33 GTST, a GTST has a lot more top end than a WRX. WRXs are at there best off the line thats it, on a rolling start they can be pulled in quite easily.

IOWNU Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 OK So a GTST would keep after 2nd but win if modified. GTR would absolutely kill the REX, but what about a WRX vs GTT R34? MayB the GTR's hes claimed to have beaten are GTST's with GTR bodykit, and Badges: AFter all there are a lot goin' around Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15166-nissan-skyline-vs-subaru-wrx/#findComment-309630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiro Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 R34 vs. WRX? Usually an R34 would win after the second gear change (in 3rd, that is). Let them enjoy the first two gears and take 'em down by the time you shift third. Guarantee, there is no way he can keep up. STis? In stock forms, I admit, they got an edge. But a slight modification to the Skyline would change everything. Again, same thing as the WRX... get 'em by the third. Guys, don't waste your time. Dragging a WRX don't mean shit... they are always at the disadvantage side for having a smaller engine in terms of capacity. Try to take them down in corners. After all, they always brag that a the car is a 4WD, a fool-proof... making everyone behind the wheels an instant pro racers...

Only had my car for a few weeks at the time. Bring it on I say Lets organise a major Skyline Vs other turbo / import cars drag event - @ calder I mean, b4 anyone gets all legal on me And settle the BS once and for all!

Guest INASNT Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 ahh wrx's, 90% of owners are middle aged business men who know nothing about them, but just bought it coz it was a so called cult car. Used to race 1 all the time after work at my old job coz the owner worked across the road. Hes had FMIC and a few other mods i could see. When my car was stock he used to woop me off the line down westall road but by 2nd, 3rd i would be near hes rear bumper. Then after i did all the mods, safc, fmic etc we lined up again and he wooped me off the line again but in the middle of 2nd i was beside him and 3rd i was already in front and pulling away.
