Which new compact car would make the best pocket rocket? - Page 15

I said it was off topic because it's not proposed in the choices. But of course, it's an excellent pocket rocket, maybe one of the best (very powerfull, and enough tiny to play with it).

I would go with a GTI 1.8T, chip and exhaust and you will be over the vr6 hp, also VW's hp is rated at wheels so add 15% to the hp and then you can compare to other cars... yeah yeah, I gotta honda cause it was cheaper

Or I thought it was, spent over 3grand on engine now looking to spend 3 more on a turbo setup... oh well. But look around in the internet for turbo upgrades for the gti. you'll be impressed.

Agreed, I've always wanted one of these little demons :flash:

Sense every one is adding their own picks to the poll.

how about an RX-7 FC ?

I'd go with the RX-7, rotary rocket in my opinion... not much that can match them in straight up acceleration.

hmm.... i wouldnt call the RX7 a compact car

I would pick the WRX as my fave.

I have test driven that car twice. If any of you guys out there have not test driven it, find a Subaru dealer in your area, and bullshit yourself into a test drive. It will totally change your view of the car!!!!! I have also driven the RSX-S, and it is a very nice car too. But the rush of power that hits you when you hit 3000 rpm in the WRX blows it away.
1 WRX
2 RSX-S
3 GTI VR6
4 Celica GT-S
5 Civic Si
6 What was that other one?????????

How is the WRX a compact car ?

crayzayjay · #**218** 01-19-2003, 07:25 AM

well i guess its a small sports saloon ?!?!

moe182 · #**219** 01-19-2003, 11:01 AM

But its not even that small, its about the size of a Jetta, and a Jetta is technically categorized as a mid-size sedan. I dont really think it should be in this comparison to start with, its in a class above.

crayzayjay · #**220** 01-19-2003, 12:44 PM

i see it as a small saloon.... a medium saloon is a 5-series and a big one a 7-series

moe182 · #**221** 01-19-2003, 02:53 PM

Either way, not a compact car by any means...

SuPeRcAr_MaN · #**222** 01-19-2003, 06:39 PM

Definitely the WRX. That wasn't even a difficult desicion...

Well, its not a hatchback so youre probably right.... still a small saloon though

rydinturbo · #**224** 08-26-2004, 08:44 PM

i would think about the civic si but the bad thing is the shifter it feels wird the way it is up hi and it is hard to make a speed shift with it.one of my friends friend got 1 and he said the only reson he didnt like it was the shifter
