[B]WRX vs R33 gtst[/B]

[drewecrome]

hey guys sorri to ask but, which car would be quicker, a standard WRX or a standard R33 gtst, i saw an article the other day which said " WRX vs R33 gtst" and the guys oh shared there veiws on the question, whom i might had were all WRX lovers, said " that the WRX would win for the first 20 metres than when the R33 sees 2nd and 3rd its bye, bye WRX. Whats your view on this?

[Jimbo2000]

correct.

do a search man, not to be mean but you'll find better responses that way

I've heard the WRX is much quicker 0-60mph because they get permanent 4WD and more grip, but when the Skylines get going they have a lot more HP going to the wheels than the WRX and so the Skyline would overtake.

The WRX gets excellent grip off the mark, but because they are permanent 4WD they lose a lot of HP through the drive train so mid and high range power doesn't get transmitted to the wheels as well as in the RWD Skyline.

will i can call from some experience; That a wrx even off rolling start at like 50/60km will kick your ass, i was able to catch the wrx but he turn off so it didnt last 2long.

i think stock 4 stock rex has it

[wreckedhead]

im a skyline lover, more gtr's hen gtst( to many around like wrx's) but my veiw on this is, that, really not to be rude, but they both same shit stock,( i owned a 97 rex stock and never lost to a gtst) so untill the mods come out there is no point comparing, sorry my 2 cents.

[Sumo]

I like both, and would own a rexxy or 200sx if I didn't have my 33... although I cannot see how I would fit in either as I have trouble fitting in the 33

Look at the factory 1/4 mile specs. The STi of the pre-bug eye era will beat the gtst I'd say over the first 400m no problem'o. The other models are another story.

It is a rather difficult question in reality since the R33's have plenty of km's on them and are fairly old. None of them were ever factory delivered in australia so you can't vouch for their state of tune being close to the factory spec by the time they arrived here.

I beat plenty of WRX's at the actual drag strip in my old R33 running the factory turbo's even some with upgrades. Once you upgrade the turbo however the question is too complicated to answer.

before I had my GTR I used to own a S2 R33 and from my experience, if both cars are stock and both get clean starts, and the drag goes on long enough the skyline is quicker... off the line the rex will be a bit quicker, in second the skyline will get its nose infront, and in third get further ahead (1-2 car lengths). Although against an sti it has little chance stock (unless my mum is driving the sti).

[jlnewton]

I agree, I lined up against a stock WRX, the model before the round headlight one, at willowbank. He definately beat me over the first 150m but after that I just ran him down and had a good few car lengths by the finishing line. My car only had a pod filter and a cat back at the time and the terminal speed was only around 96mph so my car is not too much over stock HP, if at all. Wouldn't try it at the traffic light grand prix, or an STI anywhere.

Again i suggest doing a search as this has been asked numerous times.

Having owned both a MY98 WRX and R33GTST It is my opinion that from the experience i had the WRX is deffineatly faster off the mark but the R33 has it all over the WRX in topend.

Both of my cars where fairly stock (exhaust, pod) I perssonally would love to face them off and have seen.

Again it really depends on what is done to each.

When your talking about upto 100km/h or there abouts, I think it'd be a very close call.

And when it gets down to tenths of seconds between the two cars, that's when driver ability plays a big part.

It depends on launch - if the wrx owner is willing to bet his gearbox on the result, the r33 is gone. By 200m it may be a different story. If you're interested in traffic light racing, I'd suggest a wrx (or anything 4wd) may be the better weapon.

[wreckedhead]

4wd= winner, off lights, power= champion.
