whatz up guys" I don't know about another places(states) but n this town is getting full of wrx's which I don't really care, I trust in my R but they always want to race me. I smok a few already. ( just want to make a commt' -what did you guys think).

 

sounds like the wrx invasion is starting in your country, in australia they are everywhere and ramraiders love them.

 

What's a "ramraider"?????

Also, don't sweat WRX, they're awefully slow, at least until they boost em' and even then not that fast... oh, yeah, just don't race em' off the line.

I can see how WRX's could be big down-under, with all the open country and rally flavor. It's definitely a nice car; awd would be nice. I just don't put Subaru quality anywhere near Honda, for one thing, and for another, you're still dealing with Turbo-lag and Turbo reliability. The R is such a nice, complete package, to leave as-is or modify at will. Nobody makes a 4 cylinder like Honda. My '98 R is as tight as a drum, without the slightest hint of a squeak or rattle - I don't think that's a given in a 5 year old Subaru.

 

yeah i've ran against 3 different wrxs at the track and was a little surprised. two of them had a claimed 260 hp and i'm bone stock so i thought i'd get left on the straight but, we were totally even. the third one was stock and could slowly pull away on the straights. i think they loose a lot of whp through their drivetrain.

again, they're a lot faster off the line

 

i just read what i wrote and it's wrong. " I "was able to slowly pull away from the stock one. :?

 

Yeah, not only do they loose a lot of HP through their all wheel drive train, but they also weigh a ton, given that they are four door, and have a good deal of insulation and the wieght of the all wheel drive system isn't helping any. It's all about power to weight ratio.

A ramraider is a person who drives a car through the window of a store, steals some stuff and drives off.. I guess that speaks well for the reliability of the WRX.

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.......that's some really funny shit........thanks for a good laugh!!!!!!

A WRX will get roasted all day everyday, it's the EVO I'm worried about. :twisted:
