Top end on the new WRX's

[Super Spec V]

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE A PIECE OF WOOD TALON TO A WRX. TALONS ARE WANNA BE RALLY CARS WITH THE CRAPPIEST 4WD SYSTEM KNOWN TO MAN KIND, EVEN THE 2WD FF SUCK. SO WHAT THEY HAVE A 2L TURBO. THEY'RE NOTHING BUT SCOOBY SNACKS FOR A T REX.

WHEN EVER YOU THINK YOUR TALON IS FAST ENOUGH AND YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO RACE A WRX LET ME KNOW ILL MAKE AN EFFORT TO COME WHEREVER YOU ARE AND BLOW YOUR DOORS AWAY.

Dude get you shit straight, you are starting to flame people because they don't agree with you. And for your information, I have raced a brand new Rex on the highway, and can you say bye bye. He didn't have a chance, and he has more power and a bigger engine than I do. Granted I can eat Talon TSi's and Elcipse GSX's for breakfast, but they have a better top end than a WRX, and they have a lot of potential to be very powerful.

[CAptynCrunch]

Actually Polygon you have the bigger engine, but only by a fifth of a liter

[Polygon]

How big is the WRX engine? I thought it was 2.4.

[ZondaFreak02]

this forum is just a little confused i would say

[netstealth]

After you look at a talon smoking a viper, a vette, 3 NOS'd out civics, 2 NOS'd Eclipse GS-X's, etc...you wont say the same as you did.

But I do have to admin that Subaru's have a very high potential, but i don't think we're talking about the same models. The best and fastest subaru you can fix up is the G8CK, which, IF and that's a BIG if, if done right can have mind blowing acceleration (i'm talking eating McLarens for breakfast), and the best handling you'll ever see. However it will cost you 3-4 times wut it cost you to fix up a talon.

P.S. The good thing about most cheap cars is that they're cheap to fix up.

[auswrx]

Don't start comparing modded up versions of the talon, wrx etc. or it will never end. In the US you might have talon's that do blistering quarter miles, but every other country it's the opposite. Here in aus the fastest AWD street legal car is not a Nissan GT-R, not a Mitsubishi EVO but a wrx at 10.01 along with numerous others in the mid 10 secound bracket. There's no end to this arguement if you bring in outside factors, but i'll be reading it anyway .

u do realize a talon tsi and an eclipse gsx are the same thing right?

what are u referring to as a "gc8k" "gc8" is the chassis code on the previous body style wrx coupes, but where are u getting the "k" from? the only thing i can think of is the "gc8k" on tokyo extreme racer for dreamcast, but in reality that car is called the "22b sti". u havent been playing too much dreamcast have u?



and back on topic, i have driven a new wrx and the thing is slow on top end. even my impreza has that problem. but its not from the awd system, its from the gearing. the car pulls hard in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears, but after that, it kinda gives up. 3rd gear redlines at 78 mph, which explains why the car feels slow above 80, cuz thats when u hit 4th gear. most modern 4 cylinders can hit 100mph or so in 3rd, but the subaru is geared really short for acceleration to 80 because in most rally races u spend most of your time below that. to compensate for the short 1st-3rd, it needs a taller than normal 4th and 5th. i think the sti type ra 6 speed transmission would fix this problem, if u wanna shell out the $4000-$5000 to get one.

Ok... First off, Talons... Rally Cars... Um no.

Secondly, Crappy 4WD, incorrect... Talon TSi's are AWD... Big difference.

Third "So what if they have a 2l Turbo" incase you don't know anything about your car you have a 2l Turbo aswell....

4th, I usualy don't say this because I try to be nice to every one, but
you have no idea what you are talking about!!!!

[fatninja19]

the person who told me that the wrx doesn't have much of a top end owns a wrx.

His wrx only has an AEM CAI, which he claims that it doesn't help much. Otherwise, it's stock. Should a 00 Integra Type R (with a mugen cat back, AEM CAI, and some sort of high quality header from Japan) beat the WRX in a 1/4 mile race if the two drivers were equal?

As of this moment, the WRX has yet to overcome the ITR in a good drag race.

It's pretty ironic that you ask such a question.

Last night the weather was ideal for street racing in my area, so we gathered together and set up some runs.

I was racing a friend of mine who Has a 99 or 00 Intergra Type R. He has AEM cold air intake, AEM fuel rail, AEM fuel pressure regulator, AEM cam gears, and a cat back high flow exhaust.

No ill tell you what happend... we lined up at the lights and he sat there warming up his tires for a min or 2. when he was ready to go the person flagging the race raised his hands and told us to get ready. I had my car pegged at 6000rpm waiting for him to drop his hands. When he did BANG i let go of the cluthlaunched and then clutched back in to get that missle lauch effect. He was so far behind after the launch that he didnt even bother trying to catch me.

It's pretty ironic that you continue to babble on and spit out this inaccurate "facts" when I was stareing at the cluster of a WRX for a few hours last night.

You had it pegged at 6000RPM huh? Thats strange, you must have gotten a lemon.

Looks like 7000rpm is redline to me

[Super Spec V]

YOU AGIAN.


GO FUC*K YOURSELF

What i meant to say is that i had it pegged as in locked at 6000rpm ready to launch, eventhough the rev limiter is @7000rpm.


Dont you have better stuff to do than break my balls. I wish you had the balls to be a shit disturber in front of my face, cause i would know your head off with a couple of hooks.

[Polygon]

Oh and I would like to point out that we are talking about top end, not low end here. The fact that the WRX is fast off the line is not at debate here. We all know it is damn fast off the line.

And man lighten up, you are too damn defensive.

[fatninja19]

Geez Spec V, calm down. So he misunderstood you, oh well.. no worries. Doesn't dumping the clutch at 6k rpm put a shit load of stress on the trans and driveshafts and stuff? Is there any wheel slip when you do this? Is your WRX stock? Because the U.S. spec doesn't really have as much balls as the WRX you are describing.

So um, if the same cars described in my pervious post raced from 40mph to 100 mph, who do you guys think would win(assuming both drivers have equal skill)?
