To put it in perspective. Unless you are heavily modified, my Z06 will put a hurt on your ZL1. My V6 Camaro would put a hurt on my Z06. And my brother's Subaru would take my V6 Camaro.

Never assume your car is faster than another car!

In Mexico of course..
I am full bolt on's, full OBX exhaust no cats, Vararam cai. 3.91s tune and such..

A WRX does not mean it's an STi. Big difference between the two.

on a roll (from 10mph on up), like in the OP, STi wins vs wrx any day of the week. (all stock) from a dig or 5mph roll, seems the wrx has a slight leg up. but there's no doubt that when tuning both cars, sti spanks the wrx in every category. which I'm sure the Subaru's that the OP were going against were modded sti's.

You gave him a thumbs down? That's cool

. Why? Should I give the finger to the next bolt-on SS that tries to race me and gets spanked?

Not sure which it was.... bring the STI's for that matter.. my forth gen would eat them for lunch from a dig... This 5th isn't quite what the fully modded 99z was but from a roll @70mph... I am not worried. What we talking 35-40 hp sti vs wrx..? They weight like 3400lbs.. I am 3800lbs with a lot more hp.. and a ton more torque. I didn't search him out... He got more than he asked for..

okay coming from AK where modified subarus are common, Theyre awd so its really an advantage for them dig or roll racing but if you race them for a mile or so youll beat them guaranteed my cousins and my friends likes to line up with muscle cars and they will always get the jump but thats about it half way through the mustang/camaros will start creeping in... I like them.

theyre expensive to work on to add power dollar for dollar thats why I end up getting a domestic lol

Listen, our cars are heavy, with a good amount of HP. There are a lot of cars we can walk, and quite a few that will smoke us especially when modded. What matters is that we most of the time look a lot better than them

Well done! WRX isn't as fast as an STi though. And the STi I raced was older and obviously heavily modified.

No doubt. My camaro is a head turner (red with black stripes) and always gets a lot of attention. People like to see american muscle cars I guess. Even when I went to Montreal a couple weeks ago, the valet parked it out front, along side an M4 and a 911. Subarus are more like sleepers (except for that stupid STi wing).

Off topic, but I am looking for 2 20x9 wheels in polished aluminum (sterling silver). I tried to post in the for sale/wanted section. But I get a message saying I have too many threads?? I only have three threads lol. How do I delete old threads?
