Stock vs stock, same driver, etc. I would think a WRX should be at least two seconds a lap faster than a BRZ almost anywhere, and much more at a big track. Lightning Lap a >3 second gap at VIR. I'd be surprised if the difference was not similar at Homestead and Sebring where I put in my laps. The BRZ is fun and does a lot things right, but the fact is, it's pretty slow. I agree the WRX is idiot proof, but to its credit, it is also a lot of fun to drive. It's pretty well suspended and has a lot of tire for what it is. The dire need for cooling, brakes, and a major retune, gave me the excuse to switch platforms and start over, though. |

It would be a rare exception to see this car in n/a bolt on form to be the equal of an fa20DIT or EJ257/255 car driven by someone who either knows how to launch awd or is ready to bet their driveline on putting you in their rearview. And when the temperature dips below freezing, if they've deleted the egt heater it's crazy. And please don't misunderstand; our cars can be pretty quick, just not quite that much so easily. With the exception of someone running a crazy high diff ratio haha |

Thats actually almost unbelievable how quickly your engines blew. I would expect a non built fa20 to last a lot longer with either of those set ups. Do you know what let go both times? I hope you finally achieve piece of mind with your engine swap, if anybody deserves it, its you. Cheers brotha.

In this instance...

Until traffic prevented going any further or about 75mph. Other times have been with e85 on the freeway up to 120-125. But driving skill is a bigger factor there. Although both of those claimed to have stage2Cobb tunes. Jaden |

My WRX on ethanol will walk a stock CBA. Does your car have a significant amount of weight reduction? Weight matters a lot. |

when were we talking about a modded wrx...
Quote:
I responded that anyone who thinks a stock wrx is vastly superior to a twin is on crack and I will stand by that. You can say whatever you want. I've beaten a stage 2 cobb tuned wrx on the freeway on e85 and I just stayed straight up, light to light with a new wrx on cali 91 with just a stage 2 tune and a catless header. Say they're shitty drivers, fine, but they aren't walking a twin all that readily is all I'm saying. Your WRX is not stock and you're an awesome driver, so it's hard to use you as a comparison.

It may not be about them being a junk driver. A lot of people think they are racing on the street when the other driver hops on the throttle for a bit and lets off. I'm not saying your situation was that, but on the trolling car scene pages on facebook here I see slower cars talking about how they destroyed a much faster car on the street all the time. Most people don't like tickets is what it comes down to.
I'm with mike on this. I drove (my) 15 WRX for years prior to going the BRZ route. As you said, the twinscroll is by no means a gentle curve to max boost and it can be very deceiving, but it is still a faster car in a straight line on the street. Is it vastly superior? Not really. Is it noticeably faster (not just due to boost, but overall), yes. For the record I still have a 15 wrx in my driveway right next to the BRZ. I prefer the BRZ by far, so there isn't a bias. |

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. |
