After owing a MY99, the only thing I hated was the turbo running out of puff at about 140kph, MY Jazz feels like it would get to 140kph to 160kph in no time. compared to the rex
They are good for 0-400mm sprints anything else on the standard turbo forget about it. Upgraded turbo and its a totally new ball game.
^^^F*** Oath it saps power hahaha 3 diffs....
LOL. This is a weird thread. si VTEC prelude in Au?
mmmz.. if u put both drivers of the same skill level etc. in one wrx and one h22a Accord. the WRX will win. sorry.
The wrx can get a killer start providing he has a 5000rpm start. the AWD traction is really great. ---
how is the bug eye slower than the other wrx? what is the differencce?? other than its funkii looks?
btw, my BA XR6 Turbo will whoop both of those cars :)
Well, even above 100kph, the acceleration, when compared to Euro, is far more rapid. I would've thought the Euro would be considered a "well sorted 4cyl" I don't see the Euro beating the Rex at any speed really.Quote:

XR6 Turbo handles like a boat unfortunately and the engine sounds like crap. My friend who had XR8 until very recently admitted that XR8 drives like a boat around corners. I hope you are sleeping well at night thnking about the money you are losing every night on depreciation. I would never buy a Ford after seeing my friend lose $15K on depreciation in 8 months on BA Falcon XR8. lol
LOL.. i see a debate happening here..
well first of all.. i actually did not purchase the XR6T brand new... im not that silly :) i waited as i know fords value do not hold too well :D so i agree with that sense and feel sorry for ur mate :( 22k on a BA XR6T is not too bad i must say. Anyways...i rekon the bugeye looks hot. watever people think.
oh wells all in all this is about the accord vs the WRX--- straight line drag. :)
Straight line drag anything will keep up with a WRX till about 3rd. I had fun with and S13 it was N/A, he got the jump as i wasn't prepared. In front in 1st beside me in 2nd, all over in 3rd. backed off and went on my way.
Bugeye was the heaviest compared to the MY00 but it brought refinement to the WRX, now the MY06 dubbed pig nose is to me not that bad looking I still wouldn't buy one. subaru has its ups and downs, who know what style it has in the future. they knew they stuffed up with the Bug eye, so they brought the MY03 and etc i see the same situation with the MY06
WRX's are fun
shit driver - catch me
good driver - should stay even
great/insane driver - me in a feotal position at home
for all those peeps who've never seen a h22a accord go, i think u should keep an open mind.
Off the lights, a good driver with an accord may do the job, but its pretty hard. On the highway, an accord with i/h/e, the accord will beat the rex (with exhaust mods).
How do i know? cos i've owned one thats n/a and boosted. So stop bagging the accords!!!!! hahaha!
So what do you classify as beaten??? 1st gear does not coun't ??? how far how long...0-400mm ??? this thread is like how long is a stringQuote:

That just means the difference between 5and6years license ban.
Drive your car and enjoy it i say. If you want definitive answers dont ask anyone basically. Get a stock h22a accord and a wrx and do a 60 - 100 roll on in third onto a highway and tell us how you go. Ill back the rex. If you win in the accord well done but there is no point everyone arguing blue in the face either one will win. But really the accord will need to be significantly quicker than the 94' aus prelude vtir, 2000' aus prelude vtir, dc2r and dc5r to have a chance. If it is then cool but seeing everyone is arguing with p/w i would be confident the dc2r has a better p/w than the accord h22a. Again though i dont really care, im impartial. Im a performance car fan, if a car drives well then im keen to drive them regardless of brand. If your accord wins then thats awesome but you'll be doing well to win.
We'd all love to hear real results, speculation will get us nowhere as noone will agree.
Slowest WRX is in fact the MY01 (in Aust) not the MY02, due to gearing problems with MY01.
Try to go uphill at around 30kph in 2nd on an MY01, it takes 5 seconds before it starts to go. A terrible ride :(
MY03 onwards has the AVCS system which means its mid-range power is much higher - as such I doubt any Honda's can catch it. And the MY06 even has a 2.5L instead of 2.0L, which makes it even harder to beat.
In that RSX-S vs MY06 video, that was a 2.5L Turbo - it sure should need to beat the RSX-S but then again its not even that much more infront!
RSX-S(Type S)/DC5R/H22A all pretty similar performance anyway..
