[Assassin]

G'day G'day people...This is the first message I've posted on the forum in AGES...anyways here's what I wanna ask...who's faster on a straight drag: WRX vs R34 GTT? My R34 is pretty much stock with a intercooler...i've drag a mate's wrx (current model) which is stock as well and showed him who's daddy. But last night, my galfriend's friend (some stupid kid) drives a wrx too (previous model; looks pretty much stock except of a loud exhaust) wants to drag me and was bragging to my friend that he would whoop my arse...which i heard and laugh cause i dont think a stock rex can. Opinions please...thats if you understood what i just wrote...haha =)

Show him who's daddy I say... um the WRX should be able to out maneuvre you, but in a straight line I think you'd have the upper had with a more torquey engine with a better lower end acceleration.

Dus he have subwoofa!s?

I thjink it would be close..

if hes got a loud exhaust.. be wary.. as he maybe have a 3.5" dump off the turbo or soemthing.. which means theres a good chance he'll hand you your ass.

You are talking about on a drag strip right?

WRX ~ Only seriously modded sti's have been quicker than mine.

An 02 sti ran a 13.6 at heathcote, my best was 13.8, if I had the same mods as him it would be a lot closer...

just stir him up and tell him to launch at 7000rpm, then u will win easily as he will be sitting there after his 7000rpm launch with a broken gearbox.

I've raced plenty of rexes with fmic, safc and exhaust and owned them after switching into second gear.

When my car was stock I use to have runs with a lot of WRXs. Win some, lose some....... it all depends on whos got more cash hehehe (usually them hahaha). But from experience, from stop start they usually have the upper hand but u just have to play catch up. Usually on rolling start, the tide would turn and he/she would have to play follow the leader. Also I love the smell of their clutch when they have a few hard launches.

you should be fine andy...if your worried go buy a cheap bleed valve or something for like $60 from autobarn, crank up the boost as see him in the back of your mirror. i;ve also got to come down to the private track of your mates, have a couple of runs.

You should be fine.

I'm raced stock WRXs and slightly mod'd WRXs in my old ladies 4WD (13 yo Nissan Patrol, with a slightly worked RB30).

The WRX 'MAY' beat you off the line, but after that the 4x4 is just dead weight.

No skylines should be afraid of WRX even if you know you're gona loose, you still give it to them.

No sissy backing out excuse ( sorry to say this ).

i've seen this bleed valve thing come up a few times, what exactly do they do? sounds like a pretty cheap mod...

cheers.

a bleed valve is essentially a wastegate. it bleeds off pressure before the wastegate and in doing so tricking the wastegate to remain shut and produce more boost.

on the topic of wrx vs gtt....i currently own a gtt and my previous car was a wrx...i love them both, and they are about as quick as one another at the moment....
