me vs. s2000 & wrx
i raced a s2000 (a buddies car) on the street and from a stop i did pretty well. anyway, when i launch i pulled about a car and he barely was inching on me and we ended up dead even when we shut down which was around 110. but, when i raced him from a roll he would pull pretty damn good and of course beat me. later on that night on my way home from my gf house a wrx "challenged" me at a light. but when he did the light changed before we realized and went for it, of course he pulled on me during first gear but after that i started pulling and ended up a half car infront of him. he later said that he had a i/h/e, pulleys and a boost controller but i dont know how high he had the boost up though. all n all not a bad night
btw if you wanna know what i was driving look in my profile, and i had the boost at 10psi

i hate impreza guys that just get a mbc and bump that **** up...<_<
ok good up pipe and tbe, and maybe some headers...but intakes are worthless, and hardly anyone does pullies on them...
he should do some real mods -_-

TBE wuold do some good, intake and header is kind of useless along w/ a MBC (which can end up damaging the car). Better mods wuold include reflash, but I'm getting off topic.

Personally i think the driver of the WRX was
A. A crappy driver
B. A crappy driver
C A crappy driver
Your telling me a AWD 227hp car with mods got beat by a civic with 10psi.
He should of launched the **** out of you. Just my 2 cents.
Your civic sounds alright from your profile.. But be realistic here. If that guy wasnt asleep at the light and knew how to drive your not going to take him again.
if im not right.. more power to you.

a 227 awd car is only putting down around 180-190 whp at best, given it's not underrated. if you didn't know that, then you need to go back to your forums and look around.
a 10 psi turbo d17 is probably putting down anywhere from 190-230 whp, depending on the size of the turbo and how the kit is setup. not to mention power to weight ratio ... civics weigh a lot less than wrx's.

Think of it this way.. Yes your car might be lighter.. and possible make 20whp more.. But unless your running drag wheels and tires your not going to hook up. The WRX WILL hook up and be gone. Ive raced several cameros and mustangs.. making 100hp + over me.. and I can destroy them. AWD has a lot to do with why we run so fast.
If he wasnt lieing about his mods.. that wrx should of at very least been making 200 at the wheels.
Remember Torque wins races.. HP sells cars.
The Honda and Subaru lacks a lot of torque. But again AWD comes into play here.
As for the sti vs wrx stock to stock.. yeah your right in most cases. But a good driver in a wrx can take a not so good driver in the sti.

I would argue that torque wins ... to an extent. my car only puts down a peak of 138.6 wtq ... however, my friend has a supercharged 2.0L in his civic (I also have a 2.0L) ... which puts down around mid 150's wtq ... yet I pull 2 cars or so on him by 90-ish ... he also puts down 185-ish whp. Of course since he's s/c'ed, his car puts down a ton more torque than me throughout the entire powerband (we have an overlay of our dyno runs on a chart).

Im in a whole nother ball game. Its actually put down to the wheels slightly under 400. If your talking crank hp im about 500hp figuring a 20% drive train loss.

Ill tell you right now there is alot of people who cannot drive their WRX's. You really have to know how to launch one. Its not just about dumping the clutch.

No no stock wrx will ever beat a modded STI. No where did I ever say that. Please read more carefully.
Im giving credit.. But Im saying I wouldnt be talking to much **** cause it was a fluke if anything.

Honestly now the only way i race is if its for 100.00, or some car i really want to test my self against. say a viper or z06.
