im just curious on the awd cars like the evo wrx etc because my buddys t2 bnr turbo 3inch exhaust nittos and stock ecu is taking them off the line and beating them,the evo8 and wrx sti his seven is ratty looking but he just smokes them and these are heavely modded awds they are freinds of ours and we go out of town and smoke them , im not saying we are better than anyonebut our 2000 dollar cars are kicking assssssssssss, does any memberes have simular stories like that it makes me realy apreciate the rotary engine....i love these cars

 

Thread pruned. Please stay on topic!

 

I've beat my own Subie with my 87 NA (off the line, the Subie cant launch... its an auto). My friend was driving it.

She's the 2.5RS (non turbo) version, so she'd probably whoop the Rex during first gear if she was a stick.

 

sweet

 

beat a wrx in my turbo. from a stop and from a roll

 

subaru and awd cars are really hard to launch. you usually have to thrash it to just get a proper launch.

 

it's easy... try to smoke off your tires, and fail... you just launched an AWD vehicle

 

you gotta feather the clutch out in the wrx,from say around 5,000k... what ever you do dont drop the clutch

 

but my t2 beat my friends 05 wrx,with 3in exaust up pipe mid pipe etc.. from a roll and from a stop even before my engine was ported,and rebuilt

 

was it a wrx and a wrx sti, no way it could beat an sti off the line with only 3". But to stay on topic my friend has a raliart impreza, non turbo, I jumped him right off the line and through the quarter. I have 2" dp, 2.5" straight to a 2" split dual running 6psi in a 3200lb convertible.

 

When I had my 265 tires on the back it wasn't hard to rape off the line. I beat a few talons and a 3000gt vr4

 

Sweet it sound like a lot of practise and our cars can really perform

 

I don't know who was launching the wrx's you people are talking about, but wrx's are insane on launches... whoever was doing it wasn't doing it right I guess.

Also, dennis, mind me asking what the point is of those pics? Just curious...

 

wrx's are supposed to be able to launch on a vette...

I beat a 91 celica alltrac turbo....but that's all I've raced that was awd......

 

just some pics very harmless

 

mmk its a ralliart lancer not impreza, which also happened to be front wheel drive and are slow
these subiess dont have much top end due to the drive train loss, ive takin a stock wrx twice but ive herd he was a shity driver

 

^
What he said
he beat me to it

 

WRXs and evos are not all that all wheel drive = slow
i will smash on them all day
there heavy fat pigs

 

Try the same thing in the rain or any other adverse conditions and the subbies and evos will dominate for obvious reasons. Thats what awd is really for anyway.

 

He has hit it on the head.... In dry conditions the power to wieght ratio will win 95% of the time, and the rexes have the AWD boys beat.

 

in the rain were screwed but dry pavment not a chance in hell

 

Lancer Evo VIII when autocrossing, he'd probably take me at the drag strip though.

 

Unless it's a shitty driver, it'd be damned hard to beat a WRX off the line in a 2nd gen, I can't even come close with a set of nitto's in my 400hp sport, an STi isn't even worth their time trying. It's funny though, my WRX wagon will stomp just about any TII I come accross with exhaust/intake (haven't found all too many people around here with a clue). Not too bad for a grocery getter!

 

I pissed off my dad by whooping on his AWD explorer XLT with the 5.0 V8. The truck is actually pretty fast. Has intake and full exhaust and has beat newer GT's (late 90's to 2003) on more than one occasion up to about 70 then i usually let off so i dont look like an *** while i'm passed.

 

I agree with dDub, if launched correctly, awd cars are very hard to beat off a line. They just have more grip.
