On a highway, red light to red light, the WRX will most likely always out perform our G's...unless he/she cannot drive it for ****. Its a V6 that needs to be wound out to near redline every gear for performance, vs. a flat four turbo charged engine. Rev the WRX to 2.5k and your turbo is near full spool at launch..The WRX, while not the most aesthetically appealing is a QUICK, fun car. I suggest all those who hate on them, to take one for a test drive. I miss the driving experience, but not the exterior or interior design.
I never said i hated them and also i never ONLY argued from 80+ MPH i said earlier that i know the STI and WRX will out perform us to 80MPH and i simply stated that from 80mph + we will be able to keep up and or beat them.

06BLACKMT is just emotional cus he miss the WRX. I completely understand. Don't worry about it Nismo he's really reading too much into your post.

I feel nostalgic when I see a WRX also. The sad thing is that not very many people know about the WRX.

if my budget was 25k. I would get a WRX all over again period!!

Sounds like uber fun!!

My friend and I had to park in a grass area on my campus when I was in college. He has a real nice MR2, the old gen with the works; kit, wheels, drop. It rained the grass area turned to mud. My WRX was right at home driving out of there when we got out of class. His car however, wasn't doing too well

I miss my wrx when it rains...

it doesn't snow in texas LOL

You need to hear the scooby sport exhaust(WRC uses) and the turbo whistling of the WRX. That's a real sweet sound! not loud but nice, deep and raspy. Boxer engine amplified!

He won't beat you if he is stock!, however, modded WRX's can be pretty quick.. i raced a modded one on the highway and he kept up pretty good.. i would i say i beat him by just less than a car.... I would have probably lost if we raced off the line..

Its not that the wrx stock is slower than G35 stock. Its that you're a better driver.

c'mon guys, lets look at the numbers here and read the freakin post. Its been mention before that the wrx needs to be tuned with the intake and exhaust to get the power out of it. intake doesn't do jack! makes the car runs lean causing it to lose HP. Exhaust helps the power band but not that much!

stock wrx vs stock g35 - drivers being EQUAL, the WRX wins.

Just wanted to pipe in, even though it's already been told.
My buddy has an 05 WRX 5-speed. No mods.
We've had a go a couple of times, mind you this was when I had my 05X.
Off the line he was a touch quicker if he dumped it. On the freeway, we were even until triple digits when my car pulled a bit.
The STI on the other hand is considerably quicker, based on the test drives I've taken.
I've seen a highly modded STI give my buddy's modded 748 a challenge off the line through the first 2 gears

I don't think so. What's the 60' on a moderately driven wrx? 1.8? On a g it's a 2.2.

That .4 difference is large, I'll admit it, but most g's will have the power to take one out by the 1/4.

This is such a stupid thread.

Performance wise... this is how it is and end of story:

STI>G35>WRX

Anyone who has lost to a stock WRX pretty much sucks at driving...

Anyone who has lost to an STI pretty much did as much as they could... STI's are much faster than our G's

In the end, I would still take a G35 over an STI and WRX... 23054 times over and over again. Everytime I see an older looking person in an STI , even worse a WRX, I laugh

Is this a joke?

Seriously, why do people who dont know jack about cars post?

The fact that someone actually stated that the WRX is faster (stock, assuming equal drivers) and that it weighed 1000 pounds less than ours is so hilarious.

Doing some research doesnt hurt...

I guess we also have to determain how fast we are racing to??? The WRX is def faster out of the box, but it wont hold up for a 1/4 mile. The G will catch it by the end of the 1/4 mile and anything above thise. The wrx is faster to 60, but then the G just goes blowing past it. If we are racing to 155MPH the G is faster if we are racing to 70MPH the WRX is faster.....
