WJM Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So, the guy I work with in the performance end of the dealership was tuning a customers car, a stock turbo WRX (stock engine as well, but with a TBE and lalala basic bolt ons)...but, had all the sound deadening taken out, so it weighs in at 2700~2800 lbs. We mostly tune on the street here, since the dealer is right next to the interstate... I took the RX out, and with the permission of the owner, we did 2 3rd gear pulls just for comparison's sake, starting at 3k rpm. Both pulls, I took the WRX by 1/2 car length from 3k to 5k, but from 5k on, the WRX takes me by about 2 car lengths pretty fast. I had the RX in hi range. So...Id say against a stock weight WRX, I'd have him, but Id have to shift to 4th. Water injection here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daeron Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 This thread is worthless without pictures... I really hate some of the stupid acronyms people start to use. how about an acronym "sticky?" TTIWWOP was a rather obscure one, and I am normally pretty good at figuring them out. Some of them, like FTW, (for the win) you can get from context clues.. but alot of them are hard. IIRC If I recall correctly FWIW For What Its Worth HTH hope this helps IMO In My Opinion and the perennial favorite, IANAL I Am Not A Lawyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
