If you pulled on a stage 2 WRX on 91, that WRX must have a very poor tune!
A 200whp ethanol NA 86 simply is not competition for a 290whp 91 catless FA20DIT WRX, even considering the weight difference!
200whp/2950lbs (including driver) vs 240whp (stock)/3430lbs (including driver). Even with this ricer math, the WRX has superior power to weight, as well as a much, much fatter powerband.
If you were racing a clone yourself with a stock WRX, i would 100% put my money on the WRX.
As they say, anything can happen on the street, and there are many, many badly running WRX's and untuned WRX's out there. Anyone claiming a "stage" is just a big thumbs down from me.

The stage 2 was on the freeway in moderate traffic and I was on e85, driver skill was involved there.
This last one was a dead stock wrx and I was on 91 with a catless header and stage 2 flex fuel tune.
