stg 2 wrx vs stg 2 srt-4

[02'subie dude]

Well buddy of mine (coworker) has a 05' stg 2 srt-4, I have a 02' stg 2 wrx. We are always battling between each other to see who is the fastest (though I know I have the better car) and everytime we see each other at work we talk about the new "goodies" we got. So we decide to run em. So after work I meet up with him and we head down to palmer ranch (sarasota) Hes so cocky that he says he wants to go from a dig, so we do and i take him by 1.5 all the way to about 100. We then do a roll, from about 30 and he takes me by about 1.5. We repeated the roll and the same outcome. The Srt-4's are quick no doubt, but those damn rolls just kill me. Alright though, im comin back with some heat next week, and apparently so is he...the saga continues. Oh and if you are reading this you may have one the battle...

[Doctor D]

i might have seen your car around if you live in the sarasota area. good runs, sound like some pretty evenly matched cars!

The difference is... He can add 100whp and then add 100shot of nitrous and doesn't even have to upgrade the clutch or worry about breaking shit. A stock 180AWHP WRX can shread almost every driveline part it has. Of course upgrading the WRX's driveline is just $10K away :lol:.

Good job on running the SRT4, He's putting down so much more power, your deffinately out driving him. Your WRX must run pretty good, I've driven a few that felt like they had less power than N/A honda.

[Chase]

lol ur so negative bro, I personally love the WRX's and im not surprised you took him from a dig, we all know the FWD neon = roll racer, sad but true. Good kill / death

[02'subie dude]

yeap sarasota down by the mall. Beneva area. He was quick, but I really think he got me because of my lag. Headers a retune, and revised air box should fix that. Same old stock turbo though, she seems to hold her own.

There have been 400wtq WRXs on stock clutches that have held (for a decent amount of time too). And its only like $5K to get a bulletproof trans for us :lol:.

To the OP, good kill. Ive been waiting to run into a near stock SRT in my car for awhile now.

5k u can get urself a big turbo, wish i had 5k, either way u going to TR day ? im near stock ftm, stg1, wg, are my only power mods, let me know im always down for a friendly race.

Nah. Between work and school Im stuck here in O-town until May.

And Im not trying to debate bang for the buck here. Just setting the facts straight on the Suby side of things. The trans on the WRXs makes things expensive fast, if you want it done right.

That's what I was getting at. Sorry seemed negitive, I thought it was kinda possitive b/c back when I was S2 and exhuast, the local STi/Evo boys wouldn't even race me, b/c I had a video camera, And I race from a dig. Finally got a 06' Sti race me. I put like 2 cars on him out the hole, and by 3 gear, he let out b/c he was so far back. OK... DRs, S2, exhuast :lol: . So, I think he did well both races ( even losing from a roll that narrowly ).

Friend of mine ( he's a bike tech mod. he on TR this screen name is "???" ) WON A FREE WRX playing Gran Torizmo at channel side a few years back. He hated the car ( owning a mid 11sec camaro ), he let him mom drive it. With 800 miles on it, he got bored at the track. Busted the tranny all up. BONE STOCK wrx with 800miles on it. Suburu fought and fought not to fix the damn thing, and its left a bad taste in my mouth every since then, I mean THERE IS NOT CAR BUILT THAT SHOULD BREAK WITH 800 MILES ON IT, BE BONE STOCK, AND NOT GET WARRENTY SERVICE.

Anyway, I was happy to see the STi come out for the upgraded drivetrain, not the power ( which I also saw one of those tear the splines out of the rear end one night ).

I just wish someone would build a car for $30K that's got VW/Audi's AWD with the EVOs diffs. and a solid turbo motor. Instead, we get $36K car with weak from the factory AWD systems.

I guess for some people $5K for a bad ass tranny seems cheap, for me... I'll take "free" b/c it came in the car to start with.

Wonder why it is I never see any WRX's at the track..?

A suburu tech once posted that they are sent to a 3 day school to help them find aftermarket mods to void the warrenty. Guess who has more expensive part than BMW, Benz, and Audi ? Yep... Suburu.

You guys seen the 08' STi ? Its supposed to be a hatch :-o I like it...

Any Suburus wanna shut me up, PM me if you can goto the TR track day :lol: One goy on hear had every mod under the sun and like 550AWHP and ran like a 12.4 :lol: Urfuct is the only fast one I've seen.... That car was impressive !!!

[02'subie dude]

yeah mitsubishi does make a decent neon, as far as reliability. But when you put power through a car that was not intended to be seen, something is bound to give.

Ive had my car for almost two years now, and have not had a problem. I know alot of people who drive cars like asses, and they end up with broke shit. Not saying I miss daisy mine, but I dont abuse it.

Im afraid to really run mine at the track.

I know a guy who has a 06' wrx who istalled a sti turbo, larger intercooler and tbe and ran a 12.9. I also know someone who has 500whp sti and ran a 12.7 so you be the judge.

Funny you say that i never see WRX's at the track either, iv'e actually never lined up against one once , only AWD cars iv'e raced at the track are EVO's , gsx's, and Legacys, on the other hand the gf just bought a new MS6 as soon as that thing is broken in ima go play with it a bit at the drag strip, 280hp not bad numbers for stock.

You can break any stock car out there if you beat on it enough. For every person like your friend that broke a transmission while stock I can point out 2 that are running fine at near double the stock whp and stock transmissions. Most people dont understand that driving an AWD car is much different than 2WD. Banging gears is HORRIBLE for the gearbox. Even worse than launching the car. When you bang a gear in a Camaro the tires chirp and burn off the excess power going through the drivetrain. No problem. But in an AWD car that power is absorbed by the drivetrain, which breaks parts. Fast. So when Subaru sees that someone has shredded 2nd gear, they know its most likely from abusive driving. Do you honestly expect them to warranty it?

I just wish someone would build a car for $30K that's got VW/Audi's AWD with the EVOs diffs. and a solid turbo motor. Instead, we get $36K car with weak from the factory AWD systems.

VWs system is nice, but it is far too heavy IMO. Stock STi transmissions can handle 600+wtq if you have any semblance of finesse while shifting. Thats good enough for me. Hell theres even a guy on a BONE stock WRX 5 speed thats doing mid 11s at 123ish. That transmission should be toast by now, but it goes to show that if you really know how to drive the car, good numbers and working parts can be had.

A suburu tech once posted that they are sent to a 3 day school to help them find aftermarket mods to void the warrenty. Guess who has more expensive part than BMW, Benz, and Audi ? Yep... Suburu.

What car company doesnt look for aftermarket parts before doing warranty work? Anyone who honestly expects a dealership to not give them shit about fixing obviously modified cars is stupid. Car companies work for a profit, not to give away free parts and labor. Oh and for every dealership that denies a warranty claim theres some asshole putting his car back to stock to try and get it fixed for free. But no one sees anything wrong with that, right?

Ill give you that the stock WRX transmission is not great. Its not. It was designed like 20+ years ago to run in cars with barely over 100hp. But to point the finger at Subaru and say "you fix the parts that I broke", and put them lower than their competitors when they dont is illogical. Their practices are no different than any other car company out there.

[Sourskittle]

The 800 mile car had 800 miles of 45 year old woman driving on it, not 800 miles of ass whipping. It broke first gear on launch.

Motortrend did 52 launches to a HPA turbo'd VW with AWD. Car ran a slowest time of 11.8 worst run all day ( other runs were faster ) and the MT chew admitted they were actully TRYING to break it towards the end.

I'm no VW hugger. I generally hate those fag cars ( other than some of the cooler swapped/turbo/AWD ones or the $90K HPA GTi etc ).

Just saying, its hard to believe they can't make something last... ITS A PERFORMANCE CAR. So they build a performance car, and expect everyone to drive it like its a tercel ?

Yea... Rich guys that have 200K miles, 550AWHP, and 250 drag launches never break a tranny, but people that don't nut swing of suburu seem to break them just fine. They don't break driveline parts like I have a stock TD04LR-15G turbo on my SRT4...

Driving ? So... You drive the car slow to make it run slow, but not break... Or you drive the car fast to make it run fast and break fast. Sounds like a great platform to start on... I'm starting to see how a 550AWHP STi can run mid 12's :lol:

[schoellnasty]

The 800 mile car had 800 miles of 45 year old woman driving on it, not 800 miles of ass whipping. It broke first gear on launch.

My car has 24000 miles off hard driving on it, including close to 50 drag passes (if not more) and a few dozen more street launches. It drives like it did when I bought it new. Oh and I learned to drive a manual transmission on it.

Is the WRX transmission weak? Yes. But there are far too many owners out there that are running well above stock power for the experience that your friend had to be the rule and not the exception.

Just saying, its hard to believe they can't make something last... ITS A PERFORMANCE CAR.

They do. Its called the STi.

Where did I say drive slow? I said finesse. You can drive fast without shifting like youre trying to put your fist through the center console.

The stock STi driveline (with the exception of axles) has held up to multiple 9 second passes. How can you call it weak? And it probably goes without saying that 550whp STi's do 12s because of owners who have no clue how to drive, not owners who are affraid to break parts.

[02'subie dude]

So the guy i raced apparently tells everyone he beat me by 4 cars on a roll. I call total BS. I know next time i will bring a recorder. Do you think he mentioned that i beat him by 1.5 cars from a dig and kept that distance till i let off at 100?

Shit like this pisses me off. I hope all srt4 owners are not like this.

Obviously any car can be fast with enough cash...

And by the way, have you seen an srt-4 run 9's on a stock driveline? I didnt think so.

Now that you meantion it :lol: DCR is in the 7's :lol:

I'm just saying I wouldn't have a 11sec STi that I wouldn't fear breaking something everytime I raced it. If course no one on this forum would know weither or not it would, and the people on the net that ARE THAT FAST won't bother to meantion it if they DID break something, since a $5K replacement tranny is a drop in the bucket for what it would cost to build a consistant 11sec STi :lol:

A 350whp neon can run 11's, but 550AWHP Suby's can't... Odd, right ?...

yeah your right, 400hp sti's do. what was i thinking?

Oh and BTW i beat a Stg 2 Srt4 by 2 cars from a roll too. Why? because he cant drive it...

hmm lets see 06 Sti stock turbo (no nitrous)
-Crucial downpipe and racepipe
- Crucial P&P&C OEM headers
- HKS Catback
- UR EWG UP with Tial 38mm
- APS turbo inlet
- APS 65mm CAI
- Hallman MBC
- Walbro fuel pump
- Deatchswerks 650cc injectors
- 1 Step colder plugs

Ran a 11.7@113
Please show me an Srt-4 with stock turbo no nitrous run an 11.7.
It can handle and tear a Srt-4 a new one on the track as well.

wait.... the 07 Sti (limited) are even faster due to the new turbo, cams, ecu, gears, etc.. a low 11 second 1/4mile is defintlely within reach (watch out Evo 9).

Very impressive . I am not stating that Srt-4 are bad cars, I just prefer an Sti over an Srt-4 (two very different cars). My friend had an extremely quick Srt-4 with 50trim (external wastegate which was loud as hell) and I will give them plenty of credit. Bang for buck they can be pretty quick you already know that.

[Figs]

Nice runs. Not all SRT-4's have problems running from a dig... what do you expect anyways they are FWD... you only had 1.5 cars on him to 100 and he had 1.5 cars on you from a 30 roll. I'm sure if he had traction from a roll you wouldn't have had 1.5 cars. Good runs none-the-less. Would like to hear the next outcome.

If he stays with the same set up, im sure with headers and a retune, well be even.

I have alot of lag right now (compared to him) which im sure offset his wheel spin.

its all about what you put to the wheel, if i was front wheel drive, with the set up I have now im sure id walk him. Look theres another "if".

Yea i ran bad, we put those slicks on but my car wouldn't go into second... So street tires restricted me a bit but something was wrong with the car, i need new bushings and ima go check for boost leaks, i didn't have time to look around after i put the downpipe on. 13.64 was the best all day and 13.3 was my best w/o the DP.

Why the heck wouldn't it go into gear on slicks ? I've used 22'' and 24.5'' slicks without ever haveing issues. I also use the stock shifter and bushings...

Kinda odd... anyway, what kinda mph were you running ?

I was plenty happy with mph on the weak ass turbo.

I have booger bushings, aparently other people are having the same problems with them i was, they slip on the tranny and u have to push them back in place, and i was trapping like 98, and thats bad, because i trapped higher stock, could be a boost leak though, ill find out by next weekend, either way couple problems lead to a shitty day, i was hoping to run 12s.

I was comparing his spool time to mine. I have more duct work and am more restricted. When we rolled I was at about 3200 rpm's in second.

Prob has more to do with the turbo being so insanely small on the SRT. I've got 26psi at 2300rpms before. With a chipped turbine I was getting 17psi at 1700rpms. Lag on a SRT4 is like impossible... Not sure why WRX have a bit of lag ( as there turbo is pretty small too )....
