I have an '03 WRX with some mild mods: Borla headers & exhaust, catless up/down pipes, intake, reflashed ecu, aftermarket clutch, and larger top mount intercooler. When I pump 100 octane I can keep with my friend's F355; he kills me top end of course. I ran a 12.8 in the quarter mile. For the money you can't beat it but I still rather have an AMG! :p

Agreed. There's a WRX running around Ventura with plenty of the ricer stickers on it. It may look like a joke (to each his own), but I can't beat him for the first 150 feet no matter what. After that, it's a different story, but the AWD is a huge help. Don't know what his mods are, but if he had another 75 HP, I'd be in trouble.

Is that with your current HPS setup?

With the blower! Stock 210 would be destroyed by this thing! I don't like the stickered out look, but it hauls a$$, no denying that.

Best and closest race I ever had in my Gemballa Turbo was a WRX w Nos. It was the only car that kept up with me through 1st and part of 2nd gear and I was AMAZED since i would always smoke everything out of the gate with my 550hp AWD. Those cars are scary and you never know what you are pulling up to.
