wrx's are classed with all the other sport compacts, it has the awd over them.. but its still a sport compact. Gti-Civic Si-mazdaspeed3-wrx-TC-rsx-srt4. I man if you compare all those cars they are in the same class performance wise... to me it just sounds like your close minded on your competition, and people like you are the ones who make people want to spend money on econoboxes!Originally Posted by Footefan52
Another one that makes me laugh. I look at competition as one thing being competitive with another. Example: The Avalanche and the Red Wings. Both good teams and always close games. <--- competitive. A civic racing a wrx is not competition. If your definition of competition is both cars finishing the race then yeah but not in the same timeframe.
Oh and the whole TC thing made me lol a little, and then I realized that this was a serious thread and then I died a little inside
i mean if your not gonna respond with anything serious, other than silly/witty idiotic comebacks, than ur not worth responding. i mean if u look up any article done by respected car testers, you will see that the wrx is tested with those cars. And as i found, it never came out on top, besides in the 0-60 which is obvious..but barely. And even the 08 was rated behind the ms3. the wrx. the wrx only sits high and mighty on the forums, it is a great car. But its really classed with those compacts....you should know this..u drive the car.
I know the stock test results and as someone that reequents the forums you should know that there are not that may stock WRXs around. With a simple exhaust swap and a tune they can net over a 50 whp gain. I am not saying that my car is the best car there is but in all reality it is misclassed. Also most of the mags. also test the wrx in with the evo. Would you class an evo with the rest of these cars?
Edit: And also this thread was not really about stock civics and we all know that. There is nothing wrong with stock civics. Hell I would drive one cause they get 40 miles to the gallon and my car gets 18.
they USED to test wrx's with evos, but after the years it was pointless....lol The sti is the evo's competition, and thats waht gets tested with the evos. The wrx gets tested with the fwd compacts. And a evo doesnt get classed with those cars, b/c its performs soo much better.
bingo!
foote: you do realize that civic si & wrx are only about 20hp difference right.. stock for stock. the civic does it with a little higher compression and variable valve timing. wrx does it with nearly 14lbs of boost!
you must not be talking about an sti, and i thought normal wrx's didnt even have turboes.... and especially not that high of psi. sti's push out 300 hp nearly if not a little more( depends on the year i guess). and stock civic si's do 160-190 depending on the year, wat r u smoking?
dammit it says WRX!!! AND WRXES DO HAVE TURBOES!!
