WRX vs VR4

[Skyline_R32_Canada]

Well I havent really raced anyone in a while, not that I don't want to I just don't see a point most of the time because already know what I can do as I've been past the stage of mashing the gas 24/7..anyways before I even get into the race I'll let you guys know what I've got done so far:
-Full TBE
-Headers
-TurboXS UTEC (engine management)
-up-pipe

vs VR4 (TBE and up-pipe)

Well I'm coming home from work last night, feeling the nice cool air flow through the car, and come to a stop light a few blocks from my house. It's silent out and I could definately hear a nice exhaust tone coming in quick, and to my surprise I notice its a 3000gt. I was pretty impressed as here in Canada the 3000gt's are extremely rare. I wanted to see how bad I could smoke the slouches (thought it was an SL ).

So the other light turns yellow and I get ready to launch....rev her up to about 5200 and light goes green, i can hear the car spooling like mad wanting to unleash its power onto the pavement via all 4 tires then BAM!!!!! I fuckin rocket out of the whole and shift into 2nd instantly and then i hear it.....fuckin HKS SSQV and im like omfg its a vr4!

I look over to my right and he's right with me, fucking AWD launch too! My heart is beating like a freight train, this is gonna be the best race I've ever had so far I thought to myself. Note this is the first time I've raced with my newly tuned car and I'm shitting my pants not knowing i easily gained like 30whp from it. Shift at 6800 rpm PSSSSSSST, damn havent heard my bov like that in a while (usually shift with no boost), and we're off to the races in third.

At this time he's actually at about the passenger side door, and I know the VR4's pull like mad in third gear so I just keep it to the floor and pray I can keep on him, PSSSSSSSSST fourth gear, jesus christ we're going fast, but I'm keeping the same distance on it and I finally let off at 210 km/h and we havent moved an inch..........

I follow him into the gas station to give my baby some 94 octane for a job well done, I nearly shit my pants when I talk to this guy and have a seat in his hot ass car. He gives me a huge hand shake and congrats ......best night of my life!!

I think they are more like mid 13s stock

[Skyline_R32_Canada]

Thanks for the compliments guys, I usually just browse AF but now that I had this race I'll be back for more! When we talked at the gas station we pretty much had the same times, high 12s /low 13s so its a damn even race! I'll get some pics of my car when i upload them all on my site!

hmmmm i don't see a wrx with a stock turbo touching low 13's high 12's. not enough power to do that. with the stock turbo maxed it makes like 10whp less then a bone stock evo. hmmm yeah so low 13's is possible ( with a perfect driver ) but high 12's, nope.

I got pulled on by a WRX back when I had my SRT-4. The guy said he had a bunch of Cobb stuff...no nitrous...stock turbo. Considering parasitic drivetrain loss and all that, he would have to be into the 12's to be able to pull an SRT-4 w/stage 2 and exhaust from a 70mph roll. That Neon was easily a low 13 second car and likely into the 12's with better tires and a better driver.

Who's to say how long that little turbo will last, but apparently high 12's can be had with it.

quit interesting. i either underestimated that turbo, or hes not telling the whole truth. well only the true wrx guys would know. anyone?

[Skyline_R32_Canada]

i know for a fact a P n Ped stock wrx tubro will handle mid/low 12s stock one everything it can handle, I can handle 13.0 right now, and the vr4 a 13.1? all i know it was a really close n crazy race and Im definately pushing my stock turbo to the max as it is, upgraind turbo is obviously my next step

[speedthrill]

very awesome race, yeah post more.

You've written this story very simple but yet so very effective. very nicely written.

My buddys dad has a VR4 and it is indeed a nice sound that comes off that motor. But a stock VR4 that doenst race much does get alot of clutch wear when it's raced by the son of the owner.

I can't stand that smell when it keeps hanging around the parking lot.
