What cars can a WRX "beat" ???

[SOUTHPAW]

If there is a decent driver behind the wheel of a stock WRX, what other "performance" cars is he likely to be faster than?
Example:
Mustang GT
350Z
RSX-S
etc.

can we get a list going?

[Lilfoofighter]

I think there has been a list like this before but im not sure. Anyways, what would this list do?

[Integra96]

I think it would be much easier to make a list of cars that a stock WRX CAN'T beat - considering how quick a stock Rex is.

I'll start: M3, M5, Z8, C5/Z06, S4, R32, most Porsches, any AMG (well maybe not ML), anything Italian (hehe), Jag XKR/XJR, Stang Cobra, Viper, GTO, EVO, STi, Forester XT , NSX, S2000 (close), Caddy CTS-V, and a slew of exotics.

Anyone else want to add?

This list off the top of my head is only new cars (of course a Z28 will layeth the smack down, etc.)

Other cars not listed should get pretty much stomped on by the Subie.

Try this. I won't vouch for the numbers, but it isn't a bad list.

[jungdragon]

not trying to nitpick but I think a lot of those times are for automatic. For example, 15.2 s for a 2001 bmw 330 sounds like automatic

[Integra96]

Yeah, whatever, my list 0wNz.

[Trailboss]

thanks for putting the 98 CLK GTR on there...i acutally ran into one of them on the highway the other day and wanted to see how I would do against it.........

The 01 and 03 330 i/ci were both manuals. The 2002 was an automatic. Like I said, not vouching for the numbers as I've personally gotten better times in many of the cars listed.

Your list is even questionable. On the top end 2/3 will kill you.
0- 15 mph you can beat everybody.

dude, 0-5mph you can beat a viper
