We had a WRX running at Road Atlanta the last time we were there & he did a great job in the twisties, but always lost ground in the straights. I think they would make a great daily driver, decent power & good handling. The 2004's will be taking that up a notch too.
BTW if you want to run a convertible, I will let you know the next time I am in the area.

I'll run you for fun as I will anyone else. Like I said, all the ones I have run have been on the street and by the time I shift into second they are shutting down. I guess they don't like being behind . I raced one from an 80mph roll and he barely pulled me. I doubt he would have been able to make up the differance I put on him out of the hole only pulling on me like he did at 80.

I think the 1/4 mile time for that is almost 14.0.

I could definitely see you holeshot and carry it to 60mph, and even the 1/4 with you mid 13 time. But, your low mph is where most 'vettes will eventually kill you-top end just after the 1/4.
Still that little car can really be an ego bruiser!!
Oh and Sully, I think most C5 A4 2.73's can run a 13.6-13.8 in the 1/4. But there is one guy with that setup turning a 12.9 completely stock (but at 104 mph). Of course, this is an anomaly.

Trust me, I know what my car can do and I know what will beat me. My car sucks at top end and it loses all gas after the 1/8th mile. One thing you have to realize is that I'll run my same sub 2 second 60'times and same 1/4 times on the street just like I do at the track. If someone races me from a stop and shuts down early, that is their fault not mine. I don't think my car is some great gift to drag racing, just the opposite actualy, ...I was just stating what I had seen on the street and what I would like to run at the track because I want to see for real in good, race conditions.

thats the beauty of AWD...to an extent, i totally hate running people from a roll, just because of the drivetrain loss..i believe its 25% of the crank hp makes it to the wheels in AWD...possibly less. thats the reason for such shitty MPH up top they are great 1/8 mile cars, cause you dont really feel it slow down like ya do in the 1/4
