Depends if the wrx is modded. My bro running his FC turbo vs a nicely modded WRX was almost even, with maybe a fender or so.

Does the wrx have any mods? I have a guy callenging me with one right now. It hurts to have to break the news to him. And he wants to run it for money. So, lord if this is wrong I don't wanna be right.

You should kick his ***, just try to get a good launch so you don't get burned out of the hole. Or you could run from a roll

It is not hard to get a WRX in the 12s. Better be sure that it is stock. A TBE, up pipe, TMIC, and UTEC will get that thing in the 12s with a perfect launch. With those mods it would look and sound almost stock +exhaust. Add a VF series turbo, fuel pump, and some injectors and they can run low 12s/high 11s on street tires (though most people couldnt pull that off).

yeah a few wrx guys here just add a manual boost controller for 30 bucks and then dyno to see how much they can raise it and still run a safe afr. Stock runs rich as hell for saftey.

Im not sure about low 12s on a VF, a good friend of mine has a VF 22, with upgraded injectors, and sure its FAST but not as fast as my FD with 13psi and Petit ECU. Im guessing he is doing high 12's if that.

STi, are w/e highly over rated in my opinion. Check out the thread, I raced a "popular" one in my area with upgraded turbo, injectors, pump, front mount, pretty much the works. I rocked him hard on low boost and he was even with me on high boost. My mods are a 93 FD with a ported motor, full exhaust, intake, and 13 psi on a petit ecu, non-seq.

Their both 13bs, and if they both have rebuilds I'd expect both to be ported, the only major difference are the rotors compression. Actually if I could do it all over again, I'd probably start with a clean T2, its alot cheaper to make it fast.

Stock WRX is slow, believe me, I had one. Youll own him. Things would be different if he had TBE+Uppipe and a computer though.
