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.

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.
