16180, HRC Stage II vs. Suburu STOCK WRX
Posted by bing001, Feb-22-02 05:26 AM
Just wondering whether or not everyone thinks a 420a with HRC stage II kit could stomp on a WRX!!
My friend just purchased a WRX and is very confident he can stomp anything!! I've driven it and it has a very good top end. Just wonderin...

Glacius has a stage two hrc with FMIC on 10.0:1 compression pistons... running only 6 psi on 18" chrome wheels..
said he busted up two WRX's in his area already.
So yea, i'd say you have a good chance.

WRX's are anything but good on top end. They are restricted out the ass, 3Cats. Go from a roll if you do race you should have no problem... 3rd gear in our cars its all over. Especially if he is stock.. i have yet to see one at the track run better then 14.7 stock.

Yes it's possible.... I'm not running a HRC but i've taken a couple WRX's....One had intake and exhaust too. It's possible but hopefully your a better driver then the WRX guy....
Oh yeah and i've seen quite a bit of WRX's run faster then 14's quickest i've seen in person was a 12.6 with some mods on it. (chipped, intake, exhaust, boost controller and some other stuff.)

Other than AWD traction a stock WRX has nothing for you. how else could a 227hp car beat a lighter 275hp one. You'll probably have to walk him down if he can drive or has the balls to utilize AWD advantages.

WRX are weak, its like got horsepower but you take away HP from it from it's weight and drivetrain loss also.

You will lose from the line and win from a roll.

I can beat them from the line. I have seen many wrx's only running 14.5-14.9's. I guess it depends on the driver too. They might get a jump out ahead of me but by the time i am in 3rd gear i am pulling on them.

A friend of mine has a WRX, and I must say, it's pretty quick. If you race a lightly modded one from a roll, you'll have a pretty good chance; off the line, and it's driver vs. driver.
My friend's WRX has a cat-back, a boost controller (runs 15-16psi I think), and a straight pipe, and his best time was a 13.6 E/T. I think it has a lot of protential, but a stock WRX vs. an HRC stage 2 should be just about even. I have yet to race him. I'll let you guys know.
