I used to have a wrx with almost the same setup back when they first came out I beat alot of bolton spray lt1 cars. I have a friend with one that beat a hc and spray ls1 car that runs like high 10s. I also know a guy that lives up the road from me that has a wrx that runs low 9s high 8s in the 1/4! He has a couple vids on youtube of his old setup fastechs wrx. What im saying is dont underestimate them there are some fast ones out there. The only bad thing is they dont hold up as well as a v8 thats why i went with the lt1 this go around!

These cars mabe "ricers" but there badass cars. My buddies got a 05 sti I've driven it a few times and there fast cars. Remeber its a 4cyl that beats alot of V8's I dont care what anyone says there a badass little car.

My friend has an 05 WRX with full bolt-on's, turbo, (all the crap you have to do before tearing into the tranny)

The cars are pretty damn quick for what they are from the line.. but to be honest all it is is 0-60 on his car.. Damn thing runs a 8.6 in the 1/8th which isn't bad on street tires IMO but when we raced he beat me out of the hole pretty good on my street tires but I blew past him at 30mph and just kept on pulling from there. at 30k miles he already is having an engine oil leak problem and burning oil out of his exhaust very bad...

Good kill though
