poor wrx

[Punch]

First off I would like to say I wanted a WRX, and still would like to take a
good look at the STI, I drive a 2003 turbo pt cruiser, stock 220hp heavier
then a wrx, but it was a good match against one, I just added the mopar
stage 1 kit to my car and easily smoked a wrx from a roll( I know not to
attempt from a light : ) )

Anyway's I was a bit sorry to see the wrx lose so easily to the turbo pt
cruiser, hope the sti doesn't lose this much wheel Hp. (the STI is still on
my list)

Can't say I've ever smoked a WRX myself. How the hell would you ash it?

What's Mopar Stage 1 consist of?

Why sorry? Were you hoping he'd walk on you, when
you smoked him/her?

awd does have its disadvantages, in a non-traction limited environment.

 

[Bryan Lee]

Why dont you try a stage 1 WRX. That would be a fair matchup. Stock to
stock. Stage 1 to stage 1.

If your thing is drag racing from a street corner, there are much better
options for you than an AWD WRX, be it an STI. You smoked a WRX on a
start on dry pavement with your PT shitbox. Good for you but big fucking
deal. My thing is to smoke PT cruisers on country roads. Go try smoke a
WRX on a twisty dirt road. You have no idea what these cars are capable
of until you've pushed one to the limit on the terrain they were
designed for: http://www.swrt.com/cpimages/627868.jpg

Try this with your PT Cruiser.

yes he was aware of what happened...

What's Mopar Stage 1 consist of?

the stage 1 is just a performance computer, larger fuel injectors, and
different shift points for the tranny..

I was hoping he would be faster then my car, I have read so much about the
WRX, and wanted to purchase one, now I'm eyeing the STI

 

[Henry Paul]

My guess is the WRX didn't know there was a race going on.

Chrysler *definitely* has a different approach
toward modding, that's for sure. What's engine
size, base/S1 HP & torque on that thing?

On the street, there's a world of possibilities.
He might have just received a ticket ten minutes
ago, or been balancing a Big Mac and large ice
tea ;-)

My grandma could smoke a pt cruiser, i have raced all kinds of cars on my
03 wrx and a pt cruiser is no match for a wrx, the last car i smoked was a
6cyl twin turbo nissan, both drivers where racing, not just me, a standard
unmodified wrx goes from 0-60 in 5.8 sec if you can improve your pt
cruiser to be faster you can smoke a wrx on a road with good traction.

hey no problem, cool for grandma, I was just posting what happened during
this one race from a roll... of course it goes 0-60fast, it gets that jump
from the line, like I said, from a roll on the highway this particular car
had no balls.

 

[William Lee]

I have both, and the PT Turbo is initially stronger off the line but past
30 mph, the WRX is King!

aye. or he was laughing so hard he couldn't find the pedals...
