Subaru WRX

[Kurupt]

What do you guys/gals think about this car. Im looking to trade in my civic to pick one up. The WRX can be insane fast for a small price.. I think 4700 in aftermarket products can push you into the mid 11's, which is about 490hp.

Ohh yea you cant beat the AWD of the WRX.

[Turbo]

I think the car is ugly but it *can* go fast. Its a never-ending world just like this computer world .

Wanna buy my 96 Eclipse AWD?:D

[Kurupt]

Any pics of the Eclipse? Anything done to it ?

[Charles Wirth]

My friend has a new one for sale, something like 10K miles. It is too fast for him, he gets in trouble and no longer trusts himself. I can put you in touch with him, if you want. If you meet the guy you would understand what I am talking about.

2002 WRX blue and you can prob get it for what is owed.

My car is faster, we raced a few times.

[Kurupt]

Koo Fugger maybe I can check it out... Im going to be in vegas this wensday thru saterday

[Kurupt]

Ohh is anything done to his WRX..

[Charles Wirth]

Pure stock, you can check it out and a tour of our facilities if you got the time.

[Kurupt]

Im going to be staying across the street from MGM... Forgot the hotel name. How far r you guys from the main strip in vegas ?

[Charles Wirth]

A few stop lights away, excalabur or the tropicana is across the street.

I've been after a WRX for the last 4 years. I presently own a 96 Impreza and I love it. It drives like it's tail is on fire and it only has minimal bolt-on mods. I want a WRX but with my body style 'cause I to think that the new one is pretty fugly.

I'd say go for it over the civic. Too many civic's around by me that look fast but are dog slow.

[Turbo]

Hey Fugger what car did you have?

[Turbo]

Kurupt:

I'm asking 5500 for it. No mods on the car.

[Kurupt]

Fugger can you pm me your numbeR ?

[wwilliam54]

I sill think most suburus were beat with an ugly stick

but AWD>300+ HP
mmm!!!
:drool:

[Charles Wirth]

Its a secret, Ill take Chris for a ride and race the WRX if possible (depends if he can handle the stick)

william, that holds true for off the line but around 50mph I walk away and 120+ the WRX is not to be found.

To get the WRX off the line I have to fill the gas tank and remove air filter. 108+ octane booster helps too.

I even raced the WRX with the AC on to make it more fair on top end.

[Smizack]

K-dogg, I love that car man. If it weren't for the company truck I'd have one. I test drove one once and pissed off the dealer. (He must have been scared of my 1337 driving skillz) ;)

They move. That's all I can say.

[Turbo]

So kurupt are you going with the Suburu WRX???

My friend is selling his 1992 White Vector W8. The 8th car out of 18? 1000mile TwinTurboV8. This thing is hella fast. 250mph+
:D

Oh asking $180,000 BTW

[JBELL]

Turbos and the above is the street legal detuned configuration to pass California smog testing and registration.

[Turbo]

Thanks Gooch for the spec. Exactly what I was looking for.;)
Top speed is 200+mph not 250+mph although as JBELL said, potential for 1000hp.:D :D :D

[DaGooch]

Full race tuning configuration I believe is 250+mph. :D

[firegate]

apparently this isnt true everywhere, but around here the WRX is at the level of the v6 mustang as a girl's car (never see guys driving em).. I don't think the local subaru dealer even has more than one in stick cause the girls all want auto..

[felix88]

ya see, you can buy some parts and boost the wrx up to 300 hp. good luck getting 300 HP out of a v6 mustang. the mustang doesn't have awd either.

[Torinalth]

my mustang GT will hand the eclipse and the WRX its ass..... but I just wanted to brag....

the WRX or the Eclipse would be nice.... I prefer the suspension on the WRX and the really basic interior... I like it plain on the inside.... plain wrappers make for a better kill....

AWD really is not that great except for off the line and loose surface.... I really prefer strictly rear wheel as you dont lose power twice, only once.... (from the engine to the wheels)

everything can be done well for 4500..... hell... if I sunk 4500 to my GT I'd have well over 500 HP and still be able to take corners like I was on rails....

Kurupt... sure you want a WRX? not trying to deter you, but wanting to make sure you get the right car..... sold my RSX-S for my mustang because I didnt think when buying the RSX-S (still took out a WRX though)..... might want to explore the options.... maybe like an RX-7, 300ZX, dodge stealth AWD, or something newer like the 350z, soon to be out RX-8, or even the mitsubishi lancer Evo VII...... lots of choices... might to look around more before you buy.... dont want someone to make the same mistake I did with the RSX-S

[Kurupt]

So you meen to tell me your mustang will hand my awd eclipse 400hp+ its ass ?

Anyways im getting a eclipse since I couldn't find a supra

[Dissolved]

the wrx beats the lexus is300 in stock config, so yes id say its a great car for the money..

id get lightly used one, as they only run under 20g.

AWD is awesome, i mean that enough to make it a great car..

The only think i dont like is i wish it had some sort of Electronic shifting like the is300 does. Im gonna get this car when i get money and ill probly get the Auto.

But yes, id say its a great car, and if you spend the extra cash in turbo kits and whatknot im sure youd have a very nice ride.

im looking forward to the carbon fiber hood myself when i get one :)

[Turbo]

Kurupt

You should get a 3000GT V6 TwinTurbo dropped in the eclipse. :slobber: :D

[Kurupt]

Turbo,

When you have a chance please stop by AIM and tell me my price list =P

[Torinalth]

currently no... when I get an engine winch yes... dropping in my SHM 5.4 and 12LB ATi Procharger.... 400 hp has no chance :), but those are symantics.... as you are getting a car without mods... more than likley.... it will not matter.

I like the WRX, but not enough stock for stock to make it worth while for me.....

supras are very nice, hard to find and expensive..... I still say look into an RX-7, 300zx, or a dodge stealth.... cheaper car, so more cash for a few mods.

Torinalth

[Torinalth]

also, depends on what year supra you want.... friend of mine has an older supra.... not the same style as in TFATF...... but the style before.... not a bad car... but ya know. also, ebay is a great place to look.

[wwilliam54]

I also vote for rx-7/8

but I love rotors

[Turbo]

Rotary is the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:. It seems like the Rotary engine perform best around 60,000 miles so getting a used one will be good. All the people I know that has one will not sell it. Savannah's are also good. (the turbo model) but have not found one to date. Have been looking for 5years? They are tuff to come by.
