IP: Logged

Message:
just wondering how much HP is in a
newer subaru car. It was hard to see
as it flew past me when i was full throttle.

All i knew is that it said subaru and it was
black. other then that my driving skills beat
his cause i caught up and beat him in the driving/traffic part of the race. Other then that
it was really fast.........


just wondering how much Hp those d@mn things have.....

now you know thats..................

i test drove one about a month ago(almost traded Dak in for it) they are awsome espically the AWD the traction is great. and his driving skills well he proably wasnt on it man a WRX will put you out a distance just in the 0-60.

and dont mess with a WRX they are too fast and you'll just end up wasting your gas. =)

The S2000.

I have heard its pretty reliable, it revs so high cause its based on a motorcycle engine.

As far as I know its the highest hp per liter of any NA engine produced to date.

What are you talking about saying that the WRX is ugly?!? I think that they are pretty b!tchen little cars. If we didn't need the station wagon to haul around the fam, I would want my wife in one of those so I could drive it every once in a while. It is a cool little rally car that hauls a$$ as a stock machine and could blow away little honda's and other ricers.

No, the Impreza WRX doesn't come in a wagon....we have an outback. But I still like driving it around.
I am not sure why my thumbnail pic is blurry. I think it has something to do with when I shrunk the digital pic down to size so the file would fit and I could upload it. I have been thinking bout trying again, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

My bad with not knowing about the WRX wagon. I only thought that the WRX was the coupe only and the wagons were just outback sports. Oh well, live and learn.....
My overall point was that Subaru's are kick a$$ little cars....wagons or not.

i raced a WRX in my dads Stratus R/T. we didnt line up though. we both turned off a red light and got on it. he was a stick and im not (unless you count autostick). i was a car length behind but then again he turned first. i think from a standing start he woulda killed me.

i might not have been a turbo, i have the 165hp/167torque non turbo subaru and even it will make a stock dakota look like its standing still at WOT. at the local dragstrip, which is only 1000ft not a full 1/4 mile, there are two dakota 5.9RT's that regularly run mid-high 13's. my subaru with only intake and exhaust hits consistent 13.0-13.1's. im just saying it might not even had been a turbo model.

what the hell is a 13.1 1000ft time? thats around 1/5 of a mile, right? what would that be in a 1/4?
the WRX runs a 14.1 1/4 and 0-60 in 5.4
R/Ts are faster then non turbo imprezas stock which run 16.1 1/4s as opposed to the R/T which is like 14.9-15.5 or something. i doubt u can beat an r/t.
