I would say no...I ran a 14.5 in a stock full fat bug a few years ago and thought that was slow.

i live near pod and go up a lot and most standard wrx,turbo2000 etc are in the 14's

I ran a 13.5 in my standard blob sti

I would of thought the classic would shave more time off my stock bugs time being a couple of hundred KG's lighter....My STI RA with 285bhp ran a 13.1@107mph using all 5 gears.

doesnt the ra have shorter gearing though?
only going on what i have seen at the rwyb days.
standard wrxs are generally in the 14's and the sti's about a second faster

jayallen

Yeh, thats why i had to use all 5 gears which cost me time......so tried a 4th gear run, you really dont want to know what RPM i crossed the line at............only tried it the once

dollydrifter

well im going back at the end of the month to the jap finals since usc i have fitted a hks filter s/s exhaust de cat and a new maf as the old one was buggered hoping to get abit closer to 14.0

A lot of it comes down to the driver. In my sons standard WRX RA I have ran a 13.0, his best time 13.3s in the same car. Only difference being I have a lot more experience at drag racing and can get a better launch coupled with quicker flat shifts.

ill keep an eye out for ya

cool its BLUE and ORANGE lol

gsd2000

im planning on heading down aswell

Id say that its average to slow, which is doubtless down to the drivers technique. Id expect my old 944 Turbo to be around 14.6-14.8 seconds and Id expect a 2000 Turbo to be faster from a standing start.

dollydrifter

Got 14.5 lol

The re-map is THE most important part, if your unable to afford it then the best bet is to not bolt your goodies on until you can.

Santa pod times are not an exact science, just because one persons standard bug was quicker than someone else modified classic means nothing. There are so many factors to consider, track condition, driver experience, air temp, tyres etc etc etc.
for instance, I'm running over 400bhp in a stripped out classic but could only manage a 12.7 at the weekend. I would hazard a guess and say that on a better day and in the hands of someone who can actually drive the car could manage a very high 11.
It's all a bit of fun, but don't take your times to seriously just as you shouldn't take dyno bhp figures too seriously either.

bolting stuff on without a remap can actually lose you power let alone destroy your engine.

the remap on mine is the single best mod i have got, its not just bhp its the overall driveability and piece of mind its not going to pop.

ultimately it is down to technique/skill a lot more than people give it credit for

launch, speed and quality of gearchanges, etc. all play a part and can easily make the difference between a 14/15 sec run and the possibility of getting a 13sec run (which is potentially what the std car will ultimately do)

dont worry about others simply enjoy yourself and try and improve your technique

FWIW I got a UK Blobeye WRX with just an exhaust system down to 13.2 after a couple of runs. So I'd say that a UK classic with a few mods should be as fast if not faster?
