EDIT: usually i hate body kits, but that does look pretty damn good. and btw, the wrx isn't supposed to be a "pretty" car.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
But who here would actually leave a car like that stock <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>
It just doesn't happen we all here have some type of desire to modify just some don't have the money or know-how
So why compare stock to stock when neither one of us was stock.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
alright fine, lets compare modified wrx to modified SR. iirc in the most recent issue of SCC, a 40 hp gain was had from an exhaust and some fuel mapping. can you do that? a different wrx was tested 60-0 in 105 ft. i'd be surprised if you Z32 upgrade people came within 10 ft of that. the same one did 0-60 in 4.8 with a larger intercooler, exhuast, boost controller, and larger turbo. can you do that? i don't know. it also ran the slolom faster than any car SCC had ever tested at 73.6 mph. so even if you are faster. YOU CAN'T KNOCK THE WRX FOR "ANYTHING" BUT APPEARANCE.
jack;"hey joe, i kicked the shit out of this RSX-S"
joe;"oh yeah, what kinda mods you got?"
jack;"i'm runnin 24 psi of boost with forged pistons, 3'' straight pipe, boost controller, ported and polished head, and 3 grand in other stuff."
joe; "wow jack, you're pretty sweet aren't you?"
