On the real I will start off like this, the WRX is a nice looking ride and has a great power plant that has huge potential but we all still have beautiful 240s that w/ the propper work can out handle, out accelerate, and out perform the WRX.
After I did the swap I went out civic hunting (not hard to find 'em in my area) and found a WRX that was willing and waiting. After a he got a jump on me off the line (I had some wheel spin) I caught him fairly easily and pulled ahead.
Now that was just random street shenanagins at the track (road course) front and rear sway bars, coilovers (or a nice spring shock setup) and good tires will put you on the right track to absolutely dismantiling the WRX at the track
As far a auto-x I don't have any experience so I have no clue and won't even front like I know what's up <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> I figure the 'rex would be better because the RWD 240 doesn't like low speed sharp turns (drift pigs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Either way they are nice cars just not worth all the hype they get. SR powered 240s are the shit and don't you forget it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
