stock type r vs stock wrx99

[dc2r-0636]

well this is sought of an indication.. i got a 'wheels' car magazine from 2006 where they test the 2006 wrx. (2.5litre 169kw and 320nm) weighs 1415kg
its 0-100kph - 6.6secs
0-400m - 14.6secs

i ran my stock dc2r at heathcote and got a 14.6 quarter mile too so they are the same stock

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

too late... hehe

WRX ftw.

if you watch best motoring. they've had plenty of comparisons like this in the late 90s and early 00s with the said models.

the DC2R will outrun a 99 WRX every single time @ Tsukuba.

pure straight line speed the WRX will beat a R easily even with someone who can't shift but once we get to the corners the lighter and better handling R will walk away.

i've got a 2000 issue of motor mag that has this exact comparison. i think the conclusion was something like "rexy will be quicker on the straights but we prefer the type R for it's best all round package."

Fair enough, but you do that (drag) on the street you're in for a treat

alot of '99 WRX arent quiet stock out there

people that dont know how to launch a wrx properly will lose in drag or if they are scared to damage the box on them (which are ridiculously weak, my cousin replaced his gearbox 3 times due to breaking )

Wrx vs the dc2

[GSi_PSi]

^ thats a WRX STi Type-R btw

[Wez_R]

No way a standard wrx would beat a ITR around the track

Turbolag can be annoying on a WRX. It's kinda gutless when it's off boost. You can always launch it well from standtill, but it's annoying in busy traffic. It's worse on the STi.

Stock for stock, Dc2R is an easy pick. As a base platform for street speed, you'd have to take the WRX. Even with basic STI turbo bolt-on, the Subie will run around 110mph+ depending mods etc. Most Hondas barely reach the 100mph mark with basic bolt-ons. To put it into perspective, you're looking at approx 3-4 car lengths over a standing qtr.
