WRC vs STI
 

Wowee nice video that - did you also click on the link for the 2011 Sti "First Drive" with the saloon version ? looks good ;)

I didn't, have a look now.
Just watched it, seen it before. Theres one on there somewhere between the 2011 and 2007 sti. 2011 wins.

It would be good to see how various modded Scoobs, with differing setups would do against the WRC car :)

I think it would take something very special to come anywhere near close. Most of it is down to the drivetrain I think, as they only push out 300BHP allbeit with a restrictor. No doubt a more knowledgable force will correct me if I'm wrong.;)

Like that:)

31.6ish seconds faster overall.:notworthy

But it's all torque!

Whats the torque figure on a world rally car then?

Edited to correct and add the below

Not much then.:lol1:

The Bugeye WRC is my fav of all the Subaru cars. :notworthy

The 2010 focus wrc had 300bhp/550nm just over 400lbs.ft @ 4000rpm, same as my wrx but i get it @ 3000rpm, the c4 wrc has a extra 20 or so nm.

I don't know what your laughing about do you remember your famous quote that you car would out accelerate and have a higher top speed than an STi. :lol1:

That must be a unique gearbox in your WRX, it allows for faster acceleration and then alters it's gearing to allow a higher top end speed than a 6 speed STi gearbox. :D

If i said in the past my car is quicker/faster than a std sti i'll stick by it, and why would'nt a 380-400bhp wrx with over 400 lbs.ft be faster than a std sti, it does go well past the 160 mph with gps to back it up:wonder:, i'd put my money where my mouth is on that one.

And the theoretical top speed on my Spec C is 182mph if it were too reach it, but it would take a longer straight than the the Bagle Brook in order attain it. ;)

Got any independent proof of this supercar beating WRX then? :lol1:

I take it by 'faster' you mean top speed - as your WRX will be limited by the overall drive ratio which means that in terms of top end speed your car will always have a lower top speed than an STi with a 6 speed gearbox no matter how much power you are achieving. :thumb:

Now now children.

And jarvis, what's with all the shouting??

They will be on the Naughty step soon, remember Santa's Elves are watching all year :eek:

:lol1:

I hate to break it to you Simon but...
















































No I can't bring myself to ruin your hope and dreams. :nono:


















































Oh yes I can come to think off it - Santa is not real, I know you will be devastated but you'll have to be strong and come to terms with it. :lol1:

You're not serious Ty :cry: Who's the big fella, dressed in red that wanders round my house once a year :wonder: :Suspiciou:wonder::Suspiciou

That is the local burglar, Santa Claus leaves present except in Neeef where he 'does' over your house. :lol1:

Next time you see him kick him firmly in the nether regions and then 'rifle' his 'sack' and take back all that he has pinched from you plus a few more goodies as is the Neeeef way. :content:

Or you could take the alternative meaning and do something entirely different...:eek:

As Harry Hill would say FIGHT :fight::fight::fight:
Day out at Bruntingthorpe anyone?:norty::norty:

Just my take on the arguement would a modded one be faster - simply NO on roads like in the clip. Things like tyres, roll cage, sequential box, active diffs, composite panles,etc etc all make the rally do what its supposed to do. There is no comparison in the car or the price of building either.

Lets be sensible here boys the sti for a road car done pretty good
