300hp and AWD should make almost anything pretty quick

the wrx's are turbo as well, they are just wayyyyy slower than the sti's. The sti's are pretty similar speed wise to an fbody, but i would take an evo over one anyday. Anyways wrx= slow, sti= quick.
No better 4banger than the 4g63. Trending Topics

Most people who drive normal cars would think an 07 wrx is a fast sports car. They run 14.1-14.2 in the quarter, with a 0-60 in the 5s. Most cars go 16s or 17s in the quarter and 0-60 in like 7 or 8 seconds.

I like em. Amost bought an o2 wrx to build up, but I'm so so glad I went with an f-bod. They are just a different car. They have a horizontally opposed engine which makes for a killer sound IMHO.

So, going back to my original question, stock are they fast cars or is it that they're easy to mod which makes them fast. And, I was referring to the Evo.

A buddy of mine has a 95 Impreza that he swapped a stock 03 WRX motor and drivetrain into.. Barely slower if not as fast as my Z28, but his car weighs 2400 pounds and is all wheel drive. But with a little bit of mods the WRX can become pretty quick.
