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.

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

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

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

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...
