WRX will always beat a gtst. Stock for stock or both with the same modifications. As long as the WRX owner can get the best launch out of it and the same for the GTST. It will get closer towards the end of the 400m mark as the Nissan pulls up closer but i think the distance won from the launch will just get it.

STI will beat both FOR CERTAIN.

as we all know, launching a WRX is one of the few simply joys in life.

No other car can accelerate as well as a WRX..after it bogs down

Funny man, I like you! :bahaha:

Try launching an Evo VIII. Makes Rex look pedestrian, nothing from Subaru or STi i've driven (and i've had a go in a few quick Subies, incl a 22B) accelerates from 40-160km/h like the Evo.

By the way, you ever notice Subaru backwards is U-R-A-BUS!

Evo are not that powerful, Sti are not that shit

they are in the same class. In Jap, the Sti is a touch expensive than Evo.(as i remeber)

the WRX is more mature car then Evo (similar performance, but heaps better ride quality) and the Evo is following the way WRX goes(that's why the Evo 7 GTA was built)

i agree Evo is a better car, but it doesn't worth the price different in Aus.

BTW, have u EVER launch a Evo 8?

WRX will eat Gts-t in daily life, coz heaps better traction when they launch

Erm, yes i have driven an Evo VIII. Why?

Evo VIII DOES make the Rex look pedestrian because of its shorter gearing, which means it blasts the 0-180km/h quicker than the WRX STi can.

As for your claim that the Evo is following the STi:

Well that's why Ralliart blatantly copied FHI by putting AYC and ACD on their cars, D'oh! :P

For an STi WRx to get past me it has to have alot more $$ spent than I have.

For one it needs an aftermarket turbo upgrade, intercooler and ECU. Then it may beat me.

dunno about the evo8 but .. the MY01 STI (bug eye) Vs the EVO7 in BestMotoring V5 they say the STI pulls harder in 3rd and fourth gear..

though the evo holds a tighter line....

Not trying to be a smart ass but, you did mention STI right? Ok, i draged a wrx a few years back at a proper drag strip with the mods you mentioned, turbo (VF 22 STI one), FMIC and ECU. So really it has similar power output of an STI but minus the lower gear ratios = slightly slower car. However, it was on 1.2 bar. I ran a 12.4/12.3/12.8 Consistantly... so really, an STI DOESNOT need a turbo for one, to beat you.

I noticed youre only in the low 13's??!!! By the way, the WRX was a WAGON.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
