WRX will always beat a gtst. Stock for stock or both with the same modifications. As long as the WRX owner can get the best launch out of it and the same for the GTST. It will get closer towards the end of the 400m mark as the Nissan pulls up closer but i think the distance won from the launch will just get it.

STI will beat both FOR CERTAIN.

as we all know, launching a WRX is one of the few simply joys in life.

No other car can accelerate as well as a WRX..after it bogs down

Funny man, I like you! :bahaha:

Try launching an Evo VIII. Makes Rex look pedestrian, nothing from Subaru or STi i've driven (and i've had a go in a few quick Subies, incl a 22B) accelerates from 40-160km/h like the Evo.

By the way, you ever notice Subaru backwards is U-R-A-BUS!

Evo are not that powerful, Sti are not that shit

they are in the same class. In Jap, the Sti is a touch expensive than Evo.(as i remeber)

the WRX is more mature car then Evo (similar performance, but heaps better ride quality) and the Evo is following the way WRX goes(that's why the Evo 7 GTA was built)

i agree Evo is a better car, but it doesn't worth the price different in Aus.

BTW, have u EVER launch a Evo 8?

WRX will eat Gts-t in daily life, coz heaps better traction when they launch

Erm, yes i have driven an Evo VIII. Why?

Evo VIII DOES make the Rex look pedestrian because of its shorter gearing, which means it blasts the 0-180km/h quicker than the WRX STi can.

As for your claim that the Evo is following the STi:

Well that's why Ralliart blatantly copied FHI by putting AYC and ACD on their cars, D'oh! :P

For an STi WRx to get past me it has to have alot more $$ spent than I have.

For one it needs an aftermarket turbo upgrade, intercooler and ECU. Then it may beat me.

dunno about the evo8 but .. the MY01 STI (bug eye) Vs the EVO7 in BestMotoring V5 they say the STI pulls harder in 3rd and fourth gear..

though the evo holds a tighter line....

Not trying to be a smart ass but, you did mention STI right? Ok, i draged a wrx a few years back at a proper drag strip with the mods you mentioned, turbo (VF 22 STI one), FMIC and ECU. So really it has similar power output of an STI but minus the lower gear ratios = slightly slower car. However, it was on 1.2 bar. I ran a 12.4/12.3/12.8 Consistantly... so really, an STI DOESNOT need a turbo for one, to beat you.

I noticed youre only in the low 13's??!!! By the way, the WRX was a WAGON.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
