im not sure if this is the correct forum to write in about this, has anyone ever run against one of these cars? from a roll, i could not pass this car, hidden mods? or something wrong with my car? i have a stock 02 wrx wagon, well, k&n filter, short shifter, but thats it. what do you think? i have looked up specs they have 260horse/225tourque, but run the quarter in 15 sec, with a 0-60 of 7. hmmmmm
i got beat on the highway when i didnt have my tbe and uppipe by the new tl type s. they are rated at 270hp i think. but i know our cars aren't really built for top end performance.
i have a TMIC, TBE, uppipe, intake, BOV, stock turbo and stock boost against my friends 03 cl stype 6 speed. From a 40 roll on a highway we were neck and neck most of the way, he pulls away a lil bit in the higher end from his MAD VTAAAAAAAk(sorry couldn't resist) but none the less he got me by like a bumper and a half maybe. We did this about 3 times and same results everytime cept when i missed fourth...damn 02 trannys
btw the reason they run such crappy quarter miles is because stock tires are garbage on that car....the car hops A LOT from a stop and its hard to get traction...the car feels like a boat with a stock suspension setup.
