Whatcha guys think... I'm just curious. My boy just bought a 2004 WRX. ALl he has done to it so far is an aftermarket blow off valve. I have a EX Civic with a JDM b18c motor, lsd tranny, thermal exhaust and aem short ram intake, plus suspension, etc. A/C is gone too... I know its like 227 bhp AWD vs. my guess about 185-190 bhp, possibly a bit more. I'm wondering about the weight difference and if I stand a chance. He can't drive worth shit either. I know its AWD, but do you think I will beat him off the line? Or a better chance moving? Being that it takes time for the turbo to spool..... discuss

 

He won't completely slaughter you, but you aren't going to beat him...its not going to be a total blowout, but he'll win. Off the line, you won't touch him because of that AWD. You're best bet would be from a roll

 

eehh..race on a roll..and you should beat him..i know single cam turbos at 9lbs that pull on them on a roll..but out the hole is a :nono:

 

I don't know about that tho. His turbo is where all the power is? And that won't be goin off the line....

 

So you think I can beat him on a roll:thumbup: That would make my ****in day!!! **** that... that would make my year:thumbup: Whats the weight dif we are talkin about?

 

well.. stock WRX's run low 14's, and stock GSR's run low 15's.. so, he'll beat you, given that you're both around the same skill level.. i don't think that the your LSD, bolt-ons, and car's weight loss can make up for the full second deficit.. unless the WRX guy really can't drive.. you'll definately have a better chance w/ a rolling start

 

and where do you plan to race him (just praying you aren't going street racing)

 

He will spank you. Then when he learns to drive he will spank you even harder. My buddy has one with a couple of upgrades, XS engineering 350HP upgrade kit, XS intercooler, Aussie down pipe, exhaust, etc. and he kills me off the line but I still spank him by a few lengths in the end. His car just runs out of steam up top. He runs like a 13.6 but he's a great driver. His car is the reason my next car will be an STI or WRX depending on how bad the gouge when the STI arrives.

 

Don't set yourself up for disappointment.

:sad:

WRX :goodjob:
