fast ride home

ghost94 · #1 12-13-2003, 09:08 PM

bit im a little apprehensive about posting in here b/c of my relative n/b status. But i recently comleted a swap B18C1 into my 94 coupe i've got a little work mostly bolt ons and a light car (2540lbs w/me ,full tank, spare and two seats). And i've been havin lots of fun beatin up on almost any import and alot of AMERICAN IRON , but with all yhe talk a/b these wrx's i was curious of the what the outcome would be.
Last night on the way home from work I was getting on 95 crossing traffic and passin to the HOV lane I got off the gas and got ready for a thirty minute ride when a wrx silver with a kit and fin rims and a hot chick inthe passenger seat came up on the left and i started to get excited b/c I'm not affraid to lose I just want to know. So i started with him, threw it in third and went by him got a/b 100 feet out let off . He was game he downshifted and gave chase as he went by I got back on it he pulled strong then my friend vtec came to the rescue I pulled to red line as i came back to his door ,shift light ,fourth gear and I'm pulling away.
We went back and fourth for over 20 miles until I had to get off, well he followed,I guess to show me I couldnt beat him out of the hole. His windows stayed up but he raced his engine and dropped it as the light changed we took off he got out a/b a car but by 45 we were door to door 60 I was ahead and it was time to stop same story next light but I launched at a little bit higher rpm and he didnot get as far out, man this thing is fun.

You beat an STI 0 to 60? Hmmm, they're supposed to be going 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds, plus the new ones are 300 horses, 4wd. It must have been a pretty fat chick in the passanger seat...

STis arent the only WRX around...

If you can beat "American Iron" then why are you worried about beating WRXs? I have no problem with them and from a roll... lets just say it isnt pretty for them

Oh and forgot to say...

Nice kill

Oh also...

Ofcourse thats true for an STi, but, what youre forgetting is thats from a dead stop and with an aggressive launch. From a roll, stock, theyre worthless. They are putting less power to the wheels than my car. Gotta love AWD drivetrain loss...

Even if it was a WRX (non STI) we'll assume, they still run 227 hp and he is pushing 170. That must be one heavy WRX. Are you sure it wasn't a RS?

Nice kill anyways.

227bhp = 170 to the wheels

Also the WRX arent really highway warriors

And when he raced him from a dig, the guy probably bogged on the launch

good kill.

sounds like ur in the mid 14's...jus about right.

ghost94 · #11 12-14-2003, 12:33 AM

not claiming anything outragous just my willingness to race any one. and the fact I took down a wrx (read wrx) on the hwy 60-130 repetedly and 0-60 and he didnt bog trying to show off for his g/f, he just lost . Twice .

thought you might like the set up i forgot how serious things get in here
94 DX Coupe (gutted)
96 B18C1 OBD I
DC 4-1
custom 2.5" ex
fuel pressure reg
K&N onn an iceman short ram
tokiko illuminata 5-ways
gc coilovers eibach springs

2540 pounds is with 200 pounds of me full tank of gas, a spare, tools, and a jack. So figure over 1000lbs shy of the factory 3265lbs

weight is a big factor i used to race the car with D15 power

Dk Shadow, what are you running on your stang, what mods...if you can eat STIs for lunch 13.7 stock cars you must be a fast mothafaka....

Ok, not every Wrx is fast, but by reading "all the talk about these wrx's" I assumed you were talking about the STI's since those are the ones that are pretty quick. My friend has an STI, and let's just say, when he drops a gear around 50mph, I feel like I'm in an airplane. But he wouldn't even have to do that to beat most Civics. I'd never even try to race my civic against his STI.

But I'd still rather have an EVO 8.

2003 All-Star Sport Sedan: Subaru Impreza WRX / BMW M5 (tie)

Stop the presses! Last year's Automobile of the Year, the scrappy Impreza WRX from Subaru, has captured the hearts and votes of exactly half of our staff, while the other half will not be swayed from the BMW M5, a perennial All-Star in the Automobile Magazine firmament. Forget about a recount; we're going with the tie vote. Can you really argue with our logic? At $24,720, the WRX is the hot-rod deal of the century, a real-world turbocharged terror that more than holds its own against the stratospheric $71,095 M5. We are crazy about it. Loving one does not preclude rapture over the other. BMW's soul-stirring M5 is more of an elite juggernaut at speed than the WRX. It is a 155-mph cruise missile dripping in luxury. We adore it. The only things diametrically opposed about the WRX and the M5 are the demographics of the people buying them. Otherwise, their souls are in exactly the same place. When you fire up the engine and step on the throttle of either, the message is exactly the same: Turn off the radio, shut down the cell phone, and pay attention. You're about to go for the ride of a lifetime. Whichever you choose, you'll own the best sport sedan your money can buy.
