stock type r vs stock wrx99

[adam_jdmHEAD]

what would be the quicker car and what would you prefer

[DLO01]

Would be close. Equal drivers, WRX off the line and ITR keep up with it on the fly.

Surely a 99 WRX would be quicker due to AWD format from a stand still point, i heard a DC2R handles like a dream and it can keep up with wrx's (track wise)

Like Deano said, AWD Subie will be quick off the mark in a drag race but DC2r will catch it as soon as Vtec kicks in. DC2r can hold a gear for longer and an experienced driver will be able to match the GC8 Subie.

Personally I would be happy with either car. They are both about the same to insure (not cheap mind you). Subaru has 4-door practicality, has a soft stock ride and responds well to mods. Type R has a hard ride and isnt ideally suited to daily driving, even though it can be used as a daily. Integra has the 2dr coupe style factor. Mods wise you will be paying top dollar per HP compared to GC8.

Handling wise the GC8 is a soft understeerer, while DC2r is a great handler out of the box.

my b18c5 eh didnt have a problem racing a 99wrx off the line. pretty sure the sedan weighs close to the itr too for comparison. but if you're talking about an sti, then the itr will be in trouble.

In a straight line mate the wrx will put the dc2r to shame

I mean look at the stats;

Gc8f
206 kw
1270kg
p/w: 0.16kw/kg

dc2r
141kw
1087kg
p/w:0.13kw/kg

on a track itll be the reverse

id take the wrx im a trafficlight warrior

We are talking about a regular WRX (160kw), not an sti (206kw).

0-100 times for both Integra and WRX are roughly the same.

i myself prefer the dc2r over the gc8

i have driven both

and i must say sitting in the dc2r you feel the road the steering has much more feed back. The gear box is superb, can take a beating meaning more enjoyable drive and more rewarding when you get it right.

The gc8 has great acceleration, great torque and when you give it, it puts you in your seat. makes the car seem so much faster but in reality the dc2r will keep up if not beat in a straight line. the ride in the gc8 feels soft the gearbox isnt has fast as the dc2r and it has a problem with torque before the turbo kicks in

i dont notice any lag in the dc2r before vtec kicks in, can drive it fine in traffic i think that is meant for the slower less powerful hondas (example civics where torque down low is a problem)

just my opinion

[dc2r-0636]

A standard wrx only pulls around 90-95kw at the wheels. All wheel drive lose power. Where as stock dc2r is similar.. abit more tho in some cases

[Euro08Jaz]

would turbo lag be a factor?

[EVLGTR]

Somehow im sensing an inevitable drag race out of ones curiousity......don't do it on the street boys (and girls)

iv raced my brother in his 03' sti

i launched and he didn't and we stayed next to eachother most of the way but soon as we got to 140+ he was gaining slowly but i have a dc5r
