Poor WRX

[Thrust]

I don't usually bully people, but I was board and never raced a wrx before. Friday night 7-8-05, I (along with 1 other 04 cobra and a 03 mach 1) was rolling down I85 heading towards Atlanta. As we passed the Jimmy Carter exit I saw a silver modded wrx comming down the on ramp pretty fast. We took turns lining up with him, but traffic was too thick to get a good run in. There wern't alot of cars out, they were just spaced where you couldn't really get a good feel for the wrx's potential. Eventually traffic cleared up and I lined up next to him.

As I pulled even with the wrx there wern't any cars in his lane, but there was one ahead in mine (about 5 cars up). I held steady In 3rd and looked over at him. I was getting ready to switch over to a empty lane, when suddenly he just gunned it. He knew that I wasn't able to excellrate with him due to the car in my lane, so I watched him build a 3 or 4 car head start.
I wanted to see if I could catch him before he stopped speeding off.

I went wot and switched over into his lane. He was still at wot as I rapidly came up behind him. I quickly shifted to 4th and merged over to the right and passed him so fast that I am sure that his car shook. I slowed back down and my friends caught back up to me and we went on our way.
This was by no means a fly-by, and I hate cocky bastards that pick on slower cars. But I gave him a 4 car head start so I guess that that was fair enough.
I don't know if the wrx guy posts here or not, But if you do you have a very cool car.

[Speedm0(\)key]

[Thrust]

No, this one had a spoiler and was one of the bug eye models.

[gtikid]

the dude works with me...i went up to him at work and was like "hey did you race a couple of mustangs the other day?" he was like "yea, i hung with them pretty good." i was like "bullshit, i heard you just took off and he came up and flew by you hard." he was like "naw i hung with them." hahaha he talks a lot of crap, some ricer dude...he's known to talk a lot of trash

HA HA HA, Thats pretty good! You should tell him to post on here and explain his version of what went down. I didn't want to go so far as to say that he got owned, But it was pretty ugly.
























Okay, he was

LOLOLOLOL!

SOunds like a guy at my job. he has midpipes and exhaust on his car and he said its the fastest in the lot cuz its AWD. i can easily take em but he refuses to race me. never showed up against my buddy's evo. wont race my friend's cobra(500whp but he dont know it) says he runs mid 13s but claims he hung wih an sti? I rode in it still feels stock, my buddy drove it and his 13sec gt could beat it like cake. I think he is retarded. his clutch slips, got exhaust leaks so it sounds like a lawnmower, and the paint looks pink.

and the paint looks pink.

Pink subarus are sick.

:confused: From what little of your post that I could translate, I guess that you are challenging me? I am not proud of running a wrx, just having alittle fun. If that was your m3 going up aginst the srt4 then I might have to pass.
stock m3's scare me. Mod it, and then we can play.

Huh?

I have an inline 4 with a turbo.....my car isnt slow. I think you're confused.

its not inline its horazontally aposed.

[FDslider]

^ hahaha, b0ki = OWNED!!!

[Big Baller]

My buddy rick has an 04 Cobra with basically the same mods you have. He pulls my wrx on pump gas very easily(340hp). You have to love the torque Line(curve) produce by roots style blowers.

Oh here we go.

THe typical i lost because you got a v8 .

There are some sweet wrx's around.But like anything else out there.You really dont know what its got to you try it.


There are plenty of fast 4cyls ,I6 and v8's.Its just cheaper to do it v8 style.

[Batman]

good kill, you only had about 200whp on him..haha

[Speedm0(\)key]

it was just a kill... i mean he wouldnt have known what the WRX had done.. so he ran it big deal.. dont get butthurt. its hard to tell how much a WRX has done so from what ive witnessed alot of people do try to run them. i mean i used to get that all the time.. alot of domestic owners try to run the STi.. i mean.. most assumed we just slapped an exhaust on an STi (prior to FMIC).. now alot of them get intimidated.. and we arent sick fast but i guess the point is theres no way most of them would even be close to knowing what we have unless they ran me.

domestic guys are usually pretty cool to us. and i dont mind tellin them what i have.. shit ill do it now

[Genya]

Ahh im just givin jimmy hell Lovely VR-4.

Ahh im just given jimmy hell Lovely VR-4.

I will give it to you though, your car is sick.

And you should buy those JIC's for your L.

[burnsman12]

STI's and the normal wrx are not too much to worry with once they get rolling. Stock srt-4's have taken out some pretty modded wrx's.(From a roll of course)

thats kinda dumb. what do you mean pretty modded?... exhaust/intake?... a turboback exhaust WRX with a decent reflash (and thats what i consider a barely modded WRX) would murder a STOCK srt4 from a stop or a roll...

well modded would be say.... something easy and cheap for a GDB.... say STi injectors, turboback exhaust, FMIC, intake, VF34 turbo and a good tune

[bigb996]

i think a lot of you have a misconception on wrx owners. As a whole most of us are not ricers, well i havnt met one yet and are all just laid back guys who enjoy cars(now there are gonna be some that are jerks or think they are better than everyone, but thats all car groups). The wrx is not a drag car imo its made to ride in the dirt, gravel, tarmac. I think the srt4 is a good matchup but it also has more hp/tq than a stock wrx. The awd only benefits with traction/taking turns. Launching a wrx is a b*tch none the less. I think the cobra beating a wrx is a kill but a good kill? Now beating a well modded sti/wrx would be a good kill.

[technoteg97]

id Buy an Evo over a STI any day.

[jt money]

id Buy an Evo over a STI any day.

the arguement was that the stock srt4 would kill a well modded sti or wrx.
not of your dreams of havin an evo.

[Speedm0(\)key]

id Buy an Evo over a STI any day.

yeah, if easier power is what you want, you should pick an evo over an STi due to its superior aftermarket, however... the STi's dont have the problems evos do, we dont have a weak clutch, we dont break shit nearly as often (ie transfer cases) and is just much more of a car inside and out.

in the 350z i pull away from stock srt4's fairly easy after 80mph.. anything before that they put up one hell of a fight/and or even have a small lead, ive messed around with a couple of them with upped boost (sorry.. cant say what they had nor guess due to my lack of srt4 knowledge) and stuff and i still end up pulling away way up top

i cant pull away from a tbe/intake/cobb stg 2 WRX till 130mph'ish

[Speedm0(\)key]

ooops sorry dou ble post

[curves]

dude is burning in your picture. a monk of sort.

[burnsman12]

GFB Pulleys, TXS Dual stage boost controller(18#'s) Perrin Uppie, and Stromung downpipe. from a dig stock srt4 got walked at first then caught it, but from a 20 roll walked the wrx. And on the turn up boost, it doesnt really do anything on a stock turbo since it is already pushed to its limits. Another one had VF30, FMIC, Exhaust, ect. Srt MBC(17#'s) got beat all the way to 110 from a dig, but then from a 20 roll walked the guy. Grant it the wrx is far better when it comes to turns but if one wants a straight up drag car nothing more nothing less the SRT is a great buy.

god, but it's a neon. How can you argue that?

It maybe faster in a straight line, but your car is the second most rented car behind the Caviler.

I would take a fucking 2.5 rs any day over a SRT-4. Not only that, but like a 97 2.5rs.

Going fast on the highway isn't that hard to do, and any WRX can do it. But a WRX is a very well rounded car from the factory. It's quick, not super fast, handles well. Seats 4 people, and has power windows in the back.


...and they'll make one next year. Can you say that for the srt-4?

thats not what its about, you cant really bash the SRT4, for what it is you get alot... regardless those are some bullshit mods on a WRX and thats no joke.

is that a argument.
what does rental base model Neons have to do with SRT4's?

The wrx is an all around car but it costs a bit more, and its really in a whole nother class than the srt4 its just so happent hat the srt4 almost outperformes everything else fwd out. And the ACR SRT4 is actually a road race ready car, and handles pretty good.

There not making supras or rx7s/nsxs anymore does that make the wrx better?

And why is it everytime someone beats a wrx or EVO everyoen says, "its not made for drag racing" Well since when is a "NEON" considered a drag racing car?

[bigb996]

i must agree the evo is not nearly as reliable. The srt4 imo will not be reliable when it hits 100k+ miles. I mean its possible but american cars just arnt made as well as the Japanese market cars. I have owned 3 mopar cars in my life and had problems with all 3. The mitsu dealers are handing out awsome warranties right now though to bring in sales so i will give htem that. The neon is a great car for the price however i agree its ina diff class than these cars it hink its more in the Type R class personally. I think that these kill stories are kinda dumb. For example this guy on the scion forums tried to claim with exhaust and intake on his TC he raped a sti. Now im not saying its not possible but cmon? People do the same thing talking about evos, and srt4s. I just odnt understand how bragging on the internet claims you anything. My
