Depends.

Around a wet racetrack on a track day I did a few years ago, the WRX's killed everything else - including 2 modded GTR's (both Rexes were MY02 models, one stock).

Current Rex is pretty quick, and probably quicker around a track than an R32, but in a straight line I think the GTR might still beat it. Just coz the REx is ugly don't make it slow.

stock for stock, straight line, Subaru WRX vs R32 GTR

GTR /

Evidenced here back in 1990 in Australia when the roadtest cars were running low 13's....show me a WRX that has managed that.

Way to many variables at a 'wet' track day to be viable comparo :huh:

I heard if you add a 7" muffler back, HKS SSQV, and a giant wing, that WRXs lay down like, 2x the power of any GTR .... :huh:

Is that it? Too much trouble. What I heard was for every stick you have on the rexy, you'll get an extra 5awkw.

School holiday still on?

Why?

What was the poster actually asking? Straight line? around a circuit? I still think that normal drivers on a normal track (wet or not - the cars were sharing the same conditions)gives a far better representation of overall performance than 1/4 times (unless you are one of these people who can't handle corners and only care about straight line acceleration).

In the dry, the GTR and modded WRX were neck and neck in times, with the stock WRX (and first ever track day for that particular WRX driver) about a second off the pace. Given the GTR had over 450hp at the wheels, I think I can safely say that the stock WRX would have come close to a stock GTR's times, if not beaten them (it was hosing modded R33 GTSt's - wet and dry).

Current model WRX and a stock GTR - no contest. The WRX would kill the GTR around a racetrack - specially if the race consisted of more than 5 laps. But then what would you expect from a 20 year old Datsun?

GTR's are great cars, but c'mon guys - let's be realistic here.

Itd be good if the list actually had a WRX in it seeing as it was the question.. bet still fun to read.

Yeah true.

Exactly!

No point comparing the 2.

If you want to compare a R32 GTR with a WRX, it got to be the first generation models = GC8A (11/1992-9/1993) / GC8B (10/1993-8/1994) / GC8C (9/1994)

Compare the new WRX with the new R35 GTR.
