Okay - First - the sig has GOT to shrink.  That is awful!

I stand by my belief that the WRX is one of the ugliest cars on the road today.  It IS a tremendous out of the box value in terms of performance - but so is a Moosetang.  My favorite thing about it is that it is ONE car that had all that JDM hype bs surrounding it that we got - and it sells.

As for an SR beating a Rex - I think that is totally possible.  Despite having a hp advantage and more traction off the line, the Subies have MASSIVE parasitic drivetrain loss.  That alone is enough to make the hp/tq numbers about equal.  Given the weight advantage of an s13, I think it is very believable.
