The 2004 WRX (non - sti) runs 14.6 stock.

305 tpi's have dipped into the mid- 14's bone stock depending on options.
Carry on.

Don't know what I'm talking about? I've owned 4 3rd gens, two with 305 TPI motors. My friend owns one as well. I also have a somewhat friend with a WRX, and as small as the turbos are on those cars (run out of breath about 5500rpm), they are definately faster than a 220hp (if it's an 88 with a 5 speed, otherwise less) 305.
I've seen enough 15-17 second 3rd gens at the track, trust me. I know there are a few people out there running 13-14 seconds on a LB9, but he said minor bolt ons.

Two different people who couldn't launch the WRX. I like the second sentence. That's like saying that people who can't spell shouldn't talk.

yeah...i guess aaron7 is just too much of a r*cer to believe that a little old 305 will beat a turboed car.

you say "the WRX" like its something special. how can you not launch a wrx? i drove his car and it didnt pull much. and your comment about the 2nd sentence thing, go back to kindergarden and learn to count. what i ment by not being about to drive one is, if you cant drive a car you shouldnt race it.
Good night...

launching a wrx: rev into the high rpms, drop clutch, let the all wheel drive do the rest. and we raced from a roll anyway so launching wouldnt be a problem. his turbo was fully spooled too.
and about the rx8, it was an auto.
as i said before, im just telling it how it happened.

Third Gen Street Racing
One Sunday afternoon, while returning from the Redondo Beach Pier, driving my mostly stock CFI DT500 a couple of guy’s in a Mustang GT wanted to go from the dig when the light turned green on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) and Torrance Blvd. I don’t think so was my reply. So whatever next was said, my next reply was I’ve got my family with me and so, no. So more words come out of the driver’s mouth and my reply was if you want to run, I’ll be at the Denny’s on Artesia Blvd and Aviation Blvd in a half-hour to forty-five. So, we went home and put the DOT Hoosier slicks on my Jeff Blosdale Racing (RIP) built 350-cu 5-speed DT500. So off to Denny’s I go. The passenger was smart enough to know it wasn’t the same car. The driver: “yea right what he went home and changed engines”
The run was north from Manhattan Beach Blvd to the grade school at 135th up Aviation. I took him the whole way and in the grade school lot was my better half with the CFI car and had a great big smile on her face.
As they pulled in the lot, the driver didn’t stop with so much egg on his face and the passenger telling him I told you so.
Bait and switch, so many Mustangs so little time.
Just one of my bait and switch stories but, the most memorable one.

Quarter mile times have very little bearing on how a car performs off the line. When it comes to rwd cars like our camaros and firebirds vs. awd cars like the wrx, awd cars have the advantage because they can put the power to the ground equally through all wheels, but only if they have the power to begin with. It doesn't suprise me that "skifur555im666" could beat a wrx in a parking lot race because his 305 puts out more torque sooner in the rpm band than a wrx does at a higher rpm.
