Can we beat a Impreza

[Willy Estrada]

OK guys this is just a dream, but could a well moded P11 beat a WRX Impresa?

Well moded i mean (CAI, Turbo, Cams, Reprogramed ECU, Pullies, Headers, Exhust, Flywheel, timing, injectors etc etc. . . . and a 12 guage to shoot the guy if hes getin to close!)

Just wondering if it can be done.

I think the main concern would be grip as the impeza is 4 wheel drive apposed to front wkeel drive!

Turbocharged SR20 engines have reached around 500hp - does that answer your question?

You could beat a stock WRX with im guessing a gti-r setup and some nos in a drag race. The WRX is faster then a Audi S4 Quattro in the 1/4 for god sake. But then again the WRX weighs nothing and has a turbo Boxster engine in it... It's basicly a rice rocket.

Could you beat a WRX? Yeah, in your wettest, wildest dreams.

A WRX would eat your lunch in the 1/4 mile. It would stomp you into a greasy smear 0-60. Unless you turbocharge, you don't stand a chance. And even if you DO go turbo, the WReX has the advantage of all-wheel drive which means his 60' times will be way, way better - especially if you're running street tires. If you get a modded DET you could prolly take him. He'd get out in front at the beginning but with superior horsepower you could make it up in the end.

And that's just against a stock WRX. You can up the boost, remove one (of three) cats, get an exhaust, and you're pushing 250+ horsepower in those babies.

2002 Subaru WRX: 227hp, 3085lb, all-wheel drive.
2001 G20T: 145hp, ~3100lbs, front-wheel drive.

You do the math.

I do agree this is a wild and yea maybe wet dream. . . but with turbo i belive it could be close. Now the AWD will defenetly kick our butts.

I just hate lining up to one of those monsters on the street, talk about humiliation!!

[T4 Primera]

So get a T4 (AWD) Primera and turbo it.

The AWD is not necessarily an advantage in the 1/4. You cannot launch them as hard because they will soon break, and the drivetrain saps lots more power before it gets to the wheels.

[Cue-Ball]

AWD does cause more parasitic loss than FWD, but it more than makes up for it with the gain in traction off the line. This is especially true against a FWD car. We're disadvantaged right out of the gate because of weight transfer. It doesn't matter how much power you have if you can't get it to the ground.

[Dshaft96]

What are you guys talking about? The WRX weighs 3125 lbs. (about same as G20). AWD cars are not ideal for drag racing...they are hard to launch well. They only have 227 bhp. Stock they run 14.7 @ 93 mph in the 1/4. Can't beat 14.7? I would think a DET-powered G20 could easily walk a stock WRX.

The Audi S4 runs 14.4 in the 1/4, the WRX 14.7.

Heck no you dont have to turbo it to beat a WRX. One of my buddies has a sentra that is running 12.2 quartermiles without turbo or nos. He has his head all replaced with aftermarket stuff(camshafts, camgears, valves, etc..) He has exhaust and a header, intake and a computer. The biggest thing though is he has a Nismo racing stroker kit that bores it from 2 liters to 2.2 liters. He is running solid at 12.2. So you dont necissarily need turbo or nitrrous.

[Indyg20]

I know a sentra and a g20 weigh different but still it is a pretty close comparison.

[jprimera]

yes ,it pocible with all of the bolt ons and some nos.
if we have turbo we kill them.

[G22DET]

havent gone up against a wrx on the track yet..however, when i was still NA, there are several times that i've gone head to head with a 2.5RS and no matter what i do, i just cant hold it off and he passes me each time. granted that the car is suppose to be faster than the G20, none-turbo that is.
if you are just looking for a little drag race, i kinda played around with my friend's WRX (with Cusco Zero 2 coilovers!!! so sweeeeeet) and i was able to out accelerate him to 60mph..although he got a faster launch cuz my tires spins so freaking ez..

[G22DET]

BTW, no disrespect to my turbo G20, the WRX is a superior car IMO...i love those damn Scoopy-doos!!! i still cant blieve the fact that Tommy Mackinen is gonna drive for subaru..haha, maybe we'll get a Tommy edition of the WRX soon...hhehehe...
