Default Raced a WRX

And won, but I don't think he knew he was racing. I also raced this girl driving a Camaro SS, who definitely knew she was racing. She stalled. Just goes to show that anything can be a driver's race.

I hope you were racing at a track and not on the street. If you were racing on the street it just goes to show that anything stupid can be performed by anyone.

Either one of those cars could easily kick the tCs ___ with an even kinda good driver and actually trying to race.

Oh, my roomates' PS2, I spent too much on NOS for my metro (I only own a tC in the game) to afford my own. I managed to buy one of those cheap, 3rd party controllers though for myself.

I think he saw Si and assumed you meant Sti? I could be wrong though.

Unless your friend has a turbo/sc he was probably racing a regular Impreza. I drive a 05 WRX -w- Accessport Stage 1 and my friend drives a 04 RSX base model(same car as an 02 Si basically)-w- DC Sport headers, HKS Hi-Power, Injen SRI.

From a 5mph roll, I regularly put about 2 *buslengths* on him by 90mph, which is when the WRX first hits target boost. A tC without forced induction stands no chance against a WRX that's actually racing. And that goes double for the new 06 WRX which is generally dynoing around 260-270 hp off the lot.

haha..

A wrx would walk you if they were actually racing. A camero ss, thats like comparing your tc to the sti. No chance at all. She either, didn't know she was racing, or, just driving and happend to stall.

Seriously, i'm tired of these tC vs. threads. There really should be a forum strictly for the tc vs. and people that make new ones after that, if the mods or admin. do it, should be warned. It got out of hand 5 months ago. No offense to your post, but common. common... common.. lol *family guy refrence*

Point is, they weren't racing. Unless you have some mods you aren't listing.

Dare I say that its somewhat foolish to compair cars that have a difference in cost of 6-7k.

Which is why you don't compare cars price for price, you compare cars performance to performance. Now that you've said that, im sure someone will say "well i can do this to the tC and, will make the difference up with this $25,000 car and it will be faster."

You beat a WRX in your intake/headers/exhaust tC? Did he know you were trying to race him, or were you racing a regular Impreza?

The bottom line here is that the WRX puts out 70 more horses than a tC on a slightly broader powerband. Even factoring in the difference in drivetrain loss, the difference is still probably 40hp to the wheels. Do you really think you can make 40whp with bolt-ons and no fuel management or forced induction? And even if you did, would you have a chance of beating an AWD car from a dig?
