Who would win ?
WRX has a exhaust System and one decat.
Catalunya has a exhaust system as well
Just out of intrest

 

The one which went fastest would win....

 

i got a uk turbo 2000 just full decat and my mates got a catalunya cat back system and i always had a little gain though out the gear changes i modded mine lots since then but hope it gives u an idear

 

The classic is the faster car.

 

classic is 150kg lighter.

 

What if the driver of the WRX only weighs 120 kilos and the driver of the Catalunya weighs 250 kilos and has a huge in-car CD collection and load of heavyweight bling? I do know what you are trying to get at here but the bottom line is that a good and aggressive launcher/driver in the WRX03 will beat Mr Average in a 1000bhp Skyline!

 

Nope

 

^^agreed^^

 

120 kilos = 21 1/2 stone!

250 kilos = 39 1/4 stones!

why would you bother racing if your fat ******* like that!

you'd need a 1000 bhp skyline to get 250 kilo guy moveing!

 

The WRX weight does include 17s and A/C.

 

Mmmm - good point Peachy - ignore my comment - it is utter bollox!

 

Best include a 100 metres "Le Mans" style start, just to be sure

 

the catalunya has air con to and they also designed the 17"s for the wrx so subaru had taken that into account

 

i ain't rescusitating no 400lbs of piemonster, damn straight that's right.

 

208bhp for the classic
223bhp for the MY03
Drag factor is better on the MY03
Brakes are better (if you can say that lol) on the MY03
Better pick up on the MY03 due to smaller turbo, though the cat would be better towards the top end (theoretically).

Which one is quicker?
Help yourself

what turbo does the 03 have cause the catalunya had the td04 which is small so it spun quickly too

 

The kerb weight of a Catalunya with 17" and A/C will be greater than a GC8 on 16" and no A/C though, so the commonly touted 145 kg difference may be less?

What weight are Subaru quoting for the Catalunya with 17" and A/C, surely not 1235 kg?

 

how much does the a/c system weigh just a inquisitive point

 

wasn't the 99/00 classic 225bhp?

 

cat99, wish I knew, but the book difference between a P1 and UK of the same year is 35 kg on top for the P1 which had A/C, aluminium bonnet, 17" wheels, and a 2 door shell. The A/C compressor/condenser feels heavy, radiator isn't small, and there is a fair bit of pipe work.

99/00 is 215 BHP, 97- UK cars had the same TD04 AFAIK including the new age WRXs up to 2005.

 

are right cause i have heard the a/c is about 40 kilos but thats only what i heard, but are 2 little catalunya badges are 10bhp each
