Not a Sub owner, but impressed!

JD LT4 · 02-24-2001, 08:18 PM

Hey guys.
My friend (SilverSubie on the forum) has a '02 WRX on order. I kind of rag on him sometimes about the whole jap/4 cylinder thing

But..

Looking on the net, I found some videos and sounds of the old model WRX, and I'm impressed. That boxer engine sound is sweet! Like a Porsche lacking 2 cyl's

Well I'm looking forward to when he gets delivery, can't wait to ride in it and help him with mods like helped me with my car.

Well I just had to say that,

JD

JD,

People who have preconceived notions of Subaru in North America are in for a big surprise...but long time fans of the WRX have known the truth for years, that Subaru can build high performance cars as well as anyone!

Im having a conversation with a guy named "chevytruck_fan" over on Edmunds.com's town hall, and he has a serious prejeduce against 4-cyls... Maybe you should talk to him?

flanagan · 02-25-2001, 01:05 AM

That's because he's used to the 4 cyl engines that come in chevy trucks!

JD LT4 · 02-25-2001, 11:32 AM

agreed.... anyone know where i can find some more videos and sounds of any WRX's?

Go here for the fastest WRX in the world doing a 10.01 sec 1/4 mi at 141 mph and boosting 44 psi.

While we're on this subject, what would it take go get a WRX into the 13's, and then into the 12's?
Thanks,
Mike

SubyRacer · 02-25-2001, 03:18 PM

should be able to hit 13's with basic bolt-ons and a decent driver, to get 12's ur gonna need to replace the turbo, jack up the boost, and some ECU upgrades.

heres some videos of rsquires' 22B:
