Hold on guys..... hasn't he proved it's done a 12.6 quarter or am I thinking of something else. If it has, then you need to be careful as to how much of a hole you might be digging yourselves.
WRX's tuned can be quick. A proper 320bhp WRX will be no slouch, especially with the lighter kerb weight and 5sp ratios.

And dont get Matt started on kerb weight and 5 speed ratio's!!!

You need at least 360bhp to compete with an A45AMG, 320 in a manual WRX simply won't cut it, whether its a rolling race or a standing start.

P.s. it is a proper tuned wrx with 5spd ratios,which has mainly been my point! The long ratios allow me to get the legs on the cars I've raced. If people could be bothered to read the whole post instead of jumping in and attacking halfway,they would realise i already mention i have a vf35,fmic and a scoobyclinic remap! I have never mentioned the 550 injectors though and a couple of other little bits

I have come up against one in a 330bhp 2005 STi, in a 360bhp STi and my own 330bhp 2014 STi, we all got rinsed in all cases! You're a deluded troll mate end of.

My 1235kg Scooby had 434 BHP and 395 lbft before it had two larger turbos fitted (both needed the bell housing grinding and both were spooled by 3500 RPM) which couldn't be dyno tested as it just spun it up but probably about 500 BHP as it was 1.6 bar at red line on a 2.5. It would still be rinsed by my remap only GTR.
We know Subarus can be fast, but things have moved on from 10 years ago.

What was Trout's Scoob running? Wasn't it something utterly nuts like 700bhp?
I should think only that would worry a GTR.
I'm going to the local RAF base to race a few Eurofighters...

Generally a Subaru and GTR of similar power will accelerate similarly, with some exceptions either way. Reason being is that on the Subaru you have lag, aerodynamics and gearchanges (which also include lag). On my Subaru I would do four gearchanges in 8 seconds. I'm slightly above average at gearchanging based on datalogs I looked at and good as a balance with mechanical sympathy, and in those 8 seconds it was accelerating for 6 of them. That makes up for a hell of a lot of weight. At higher speed when you don't need to change gear as much, aerodynamics and stability matter a lot.
Not sure what Trout was running, but a 700 HP GTR should be in the 9s and very few Subarus are. I know quarter miles are boring, but we are talking about acceleration.

Now the chap with the blob .. you is a **** my friend and have a ****ing clue what you're talking about. Racing on public roads knly gives a bad name for the rest of scooby community. Now your wagon might not be a slouch but you wont go anywere further than a 1st bend and will understeer into a ditch with you mentality. Grow up.

as said earlier times have moved on and modern cars with paddle shift etc are far faster than ten year old imprezas and the gtr would destroy even a modified sti.
