Stock vs Stock 08 si vs 08 wrx

[S4toSTI]

George and i were wondering what would happen and we honestly don't know so what does everyone think. He was saying from a roll cause he doesn't wanna launch. So let me know what you all think.

[D Money]

wrx all day.

[Snoozie]

youre gonna get killed.

for the sake of comparison.

05 wrx stock vs stock RSX S, RSX got walked from a 20mph roll.

ps this is keith not susie lol.

[foss]

WRX. numbers don't lie.

[D Money]

I feel like this is feeding into the prank. I can never tell with Barry, he could be pulling one over our heads here. lol

[Action Park]

WRX. numbers don't lie.

Numbers? Wrx has a very slight advertised power to weight advantage(14.2 lbs/hp vs 14.65) that is probably easily offset by greater drivetrain loss. From a roll, most definately a driver's race. From the hole- different story.
93 93/93

[foss]

Whoops didn't read from a roll. In that case, I'd say the civic would walk it with proper driving

Agreed. Wrx with roughly 3100lbs rated at 224 hp and 226 ft/lbs torque vs Si with roughly 2900lbs with 197 hp and 139fl/lbs. From a roll its all about drivers. It be a good race.

[420sx]

I think the WRX will nudge it out, even with a less skilled driver. The new SI's aint ****... too heavy to be fast with 197hp and no torque.

[namdoogwerdna]

Barry is lighter than George so I'm gonna say the Si

[TROLL]

all other things equal i dont see how the civic could possibly keep up. dont forget that the new wrx is rated at 230 crank hp from the factory, but it makes about 230 whp totally stock with almost the same torque meaning its severly underrated, and leaps and bounds ahead of the civic.

[Honduh]

Probably the wrx since the Si is torqueless, but the Si wins looks for sure...

[Action Park]

^Properly driven, low end is a non factor in a race from a roll. Properly launched, from a dig as well. The torque # is meaningless in a drag race.
93 39/93

[Blue32]

Im gonna break out the sticky pod and record it should be interesting... barry needs to hurry up and break that thing in......

[Blue32]

meaning its severely underrated

I could tell as soon as drove it, it had underrated stock numbers .. my R dynoed 223hp to all 4 wheels and the wrx feels faster.... but it being a lot lighters helps too... I think they did that so it wouldn't compete as much with the sti with its 40k price tag and the wrx with its 29k sticker

[streetAssasin96]

it will be close but the rex will yank on him in the end.

[S4toSTI]

Yeah i am not saying i can beat him we were just talking about it thats all.

[JBWRX06]

i m gonna say the wrx

[ReVision]

Idk I mean the civic has VTEC and the WRX is turbo...basically the same thing right? haha JK :mrgreen:

The funny thing is somebody actually said that when they were comparing a turbo V6 to a honda haha.

I honestly think the WRX will take it by 5 car lengths or more.

[gpzjack]

couple of vids on youtube...looks like wrx?

Can you post a link for those vids.. i searched you tube can't find any 08 Sis VS 08 wrx

[Gorilla Unit 33]

im saying the WRX, especially from a roll. with something like this thats so close in HP numbers you have to think of it this way, which i always do. Take the Integra GSR and the VW GTi (20th aniversary lets say) stock there both rated 180hp. Not anything big, and they both weigh close to the same weight. Stock vs Stock, the GTi wins. Forced induction motors have the upper hand when it comes to close hp ratings.

[JaySpecV]

so did this run ever happen??

[Tiny]

George and i were wondering what would happen and we honestly don't know so what does everyone think. He was saying from a roll cause he doesn't wanna launch. So let me know what you all think.

I think your gay. Does that count?

[S4toSTI]

I think your gay. Does that count?
Haha i guess we aren't doing pictures of your car? HAHA

[Tiny]

Haha i guess we aren't doing pictures of your car? HAHA

Oh, you think so? You WILL do pictures of my car or I will have to break you in half. At least I finally got a response from you. I'll call you sometime this weekend. I want to see your car.

[Nors]

Results in yet? I am interested.

[JaySpecV]

Results in yet? I am interested.

+1 :mrgreen:

[namdoogwerdna]

The Si isn't broken in yet.

[Buster]

Break ins are for 68 mustangs. drive it hard.

[exels1]

wrx + 1

[JaySpecV]

sooo whens this happening??

[SovXietday]

Idk, what kind of top end does the WRX have? The Si has some pretty nasty gearing, would be an interesting race for sure.

[keithtwofour]

im pretty sure i raced my boy in his si in my stock 240 and her barly pulled on me. not sure though

[Gar Bear]

wrx for sure. i drive an 08 wrx and I've test driven the si because i was going to buy that. im pretty sure the wrx would win though

[Blue32]

Another 500 miles to go and we will get this done.. looks like we may have a 3 way race with some gti..:bigeek:

[S4toSTI]

I think i have 800 miles on it now.

[zerioustt]

Werd


I'm still baffled at why these two cars are racing. I'd rather watch the special olympics....

[Sir240]

awd+turbo > fwd+vtec allll day.

[SovXietday]

I think i have 800 miles on it now.

**** dude, do you know how many miles my engine had on it before it saw 8500 at 12psi?

4 miles.

[pearl]

obviously the civic by 10 because it has vtech.

[SovXietday]

im pretty sure i raced my boy in his si in my stock 240 and her barly pulled on me. not sure though

Wait, so you were there and you still don't know?:bigeek:

[pearl]

Wait, so you were there and you still don't know?:bigeek:
I think he doesn't know if his friend was racing.

[Sir240]

imo. honda's are a nice way to break into the scene. but if u wanna get fast u gotta move away from the fwd scene. torque steer is just crazy and scary haha. however honda's are very reliable and look nice =)

[Supraru]

In for the eventual results and or video.

[EvlEgl]

Im gonna break out the sticky pod and record it should be interesting... barry needs to hurry up and break that thing in......

Break it in by racing you, Duh

[2drStunner]

Im picking the Si just cause of the FWD sucks talk. lol

[1gmfanatik]

From a dig, I'd say the WRX, from a go...Might be kinda close..I'll run both ya'll with my Trailblazer SS. lol...All I did was muffler delete, oh and it's RWD
