WRX are a rally car. They need 0-100 for the dirt more than they need top end.

pretty sure the WRX would maul the R33 till about 130kmh then it will be r33 till the speedlimiter kicks in and we are talking stock cars here.

but take the WRX to a bush track and give it a go.

Ive had both in stock and modified form

MY00 WRX and R33 Gtst..... rex heaps better

Modified WRX and Modified R33 Gtst .... rex also better.

The only thing the WRX will have in a straight line will be the launch. After that it's goodbye WRX. This is not opinion, but fact based on similar skilled drivers. We're not talking STI's here remember.

a 99 rex is a lot faster in a straight line than a r33, both being stock. the rex is faster both on the road and obviously can launch harder.

if you think a rex has a shit top end, then so does a gtst they both die off at high revs(turbos too small)

just as a sort of related example, a friend had a stock 01 rex(bug eyed shape, slower than 99) and he ran 14.0 @ 100mph, slipping the clutch on the start (not a redline dump)

a stock gtst isnt anywhere near as quick.

(and i have had 2 gtst's)

[thizzle]

hang on arent they both rated at roughly 180 kw at flywheel in stock form and the sti is like 210 ???

I never beat a stock WRX off the line even my R33 has 179rwkw

&

I never lost to a mod WRX (include moded STi) on rolling start

can't remeber how many rex i have match up but i owned my R33 for 2 years

how about you just dig up 50 old threads on this topic and read though them eh?

I recently finished this project:

CONVERSION:

2000 Forrester (stock)- 96 WRX Engine (Front cut) 12psi = 120KW at the wheels

The older WRX's still used the same turbo but they had larger compressor housings giving them better top end.

This forrester has nothing down low but when it winds up it'll walk past a stock WRX!

This said I think the newer model WRX would have a tough time keeping up with the lighter R33 with less top end in a street situation even the older pre 96 WRX's would be struggling.

Reality is, in two so evenly matched cars the biggest decider is driver :wassup:

Maxx, the modded rexys you ran can't of been very modded at all. 180 atw is easy to get from em and being lighter than you they will pull on you pretty easy.

The 96 rexys had a different turbo too, it had more top end than the 97 onward rexys.

The current model rexes (03-04-05)are actually the fastest (and heaviest) wrx's made so far.

99's are sposed to have 160 kw at the fly too, not 180ish (i think) like the 33gtst's have.

Rex would maul a GTS-T into peices stock or modified

[performance-wise]

stock 33's are around 150-160 (I think) :confused:

BAHAHAHAHAHA are u serious wake up to ya self man my hks turbo has never lost to a ***in rex...

[marchGTR]

from my experience stock for stock they are similar, with rexy better off the line and the skyline catching up top of second start of third.. driver ability is probably the most deciding factor

[MYSTR33]

Hey peeps here my 2cents.. I had a go against a 98 model WRX my mods were FMIC 3in turbo back runing 11psi agint the WRX turbo back Carbon bonnet running 13psi (in controlled conditions.. both running in street tyres... first run i beat him by Half a bonnet second was pretty close too wasnt able to pull away neith was he.. maybe if i only haad 1/4 tank of petrol instead of full LOL

every lil bit helpsss haha

stop being narrow minded skyline owners.

rough numbers.

wrx = 1300kg with 160kw

r33 = 1350kg with 187kw

so power to weight is close but add 4wd and then measure them in a proper place (400m) and the skyline will lose.

no doubt.

and to make it fair, use the same year model for both. 96, 97 whatever.

Yeah, the (goodness) ranking is something like this:

1. GTR

2. WRX

3. GTST
