Stock 04 wrx vs stock 07 350z

[Jeff.]

Ok well i got a 5 speed 04 wrx .. i just have exhaust. an AUTOMATIC 350z wants to race , im just curious as to how fast the automatic ones are. who you think would win all in all?

[RatedReX]

Do you really not know the answer to this?

IMO, I would have to say that the 350z would take you without breaking a sweat.

[jma_1000]

only one way to find out: go race. in a sanctioned environment, of course.

300+hp vs 227hp?

I'd say that's a safe bet

I have 06 350Z and had an 05 WRX. The Z will win most likely. The Auto isn't that much slower than the manual and it will reduce the chance of driver error.

+1

I have a 05 350Z and a 2002 WRX.

stock wrx - lose
stage 1 wrx - lose
stage 2 wrx - drivers race (WRX from a dig, 350Z from a roll)

alright cool thanks . he may beat me but atleast i can say that my mommy didnt buy my car!

[jma_1000]

just out-mod him and win. but bringing his mom into the mix could work, too.

[cavallino333]

Well you could also create a snowy drag strip somewhere, or have some sort of cargo/passenger capacity contest.

to which he could counter:

mine love me
mine aren't poor
Uck-Fay, Ou-Yay

Avoid that - save some dough, and pick up an uppipe, downpipe, and Engine Management - at Stage 2, you'll have a solid chance.

If you simply can't wait - WEIGHT REDUCTION. No people in the car with you, get all the crap out of it. Empty Trunk and Glovebox, 100 pounds is equal to 10 horsepower or a tenth of a second in the quarter mile.

my stage 2 rex beat an 03 6sd 350Z.. they arent that fast.. also raced a G35.. also not that fast.. from a roll, they both beat me, but from a dig they had almost no chance

Well you are at stage 2. The OP was asking stock for stock.

[wrxisthebest]

They're built tough as hell. Very solid cars. Drivetrain can take quite a bit from the stock power output. They don't last under much boost for long, and as a result, most kits run low boost. I just don't think they are worth modding because it requires a built block to do it right. My WRX has roughly $27k invested in mods at this point, but a large chunk of that is labor and shipping. Also, I've never had to build the engine. The biggest expense so far has been the transmission. If I could start over, I might have just put the money into the 350Z. The APS Extreme Kit would be mine.
