  • ive always thought the wrx were alot quicker then that. 3rd gear is normally the power gear in standards. my 97 maxima does 100 in 3rd.

  • @smithyyy1993

    This is slightly slower than what it can do with a better driver. There is no standard "power" gear. Your Maxima does 100 in 3rd because it has very tall gears, and a high final drive; aimed toward fuel efficiency. You can probably cruise at 80 @ 2500 rpms, while in the WRX at 80 you'd be at somewhere in the mid-high 3000 rpms. It's usually better to have shorter gears.

  • @poetikplaya oh ive always called it the power gear cause i noticed alot of standards get the most speed out of that gear. and yah i believe its at like 2800rpms in my car.

  • its pretty slow wen u hit 80 mph..

  • mph or kph????

  • I was thinking it'd be alot faster than that but I guess not. Is this the STI version or just the regular WRX?

  • @IROCwarriorAMC88

    As the title states, it's just the WRX trim in stock form. It'd be a little bit faster with a better driver. I believe I drove it about half a second slower than what it should be able to do; I was simply inexperienced - very slow shifting, bad launch, and bad shift points.

    After going catless uppipe, downpipe, and a nice solid tune (20psi peak) it was noticeably faster. Those upgrades cost me less than $300 buying used & road tuning with open source.

  • @poetikplaya: I used to be friends with a guy with a 04 WRX STI. His car made 350hp at all 4 wheels according to him. I honestly don't think it made that much but more like 300hp. Either way I'd drive one.

  • @IROCwarriorAMC88

    The STI is substantially stronger in every way. The WRX makes less than 200whp in stock form. After my simple bolt on mods and tune I was probably slightly faster or just as fast as a stock STI. A lot of the guys around town had 300whp+ STI's.

    I don't own this car anymore. I sold it a long time ago. I drive a Camry now.

    The WRX and WRX STI's are pretty cheap now so pick one up and good luck. If you haven't already heard, check out nasioc.com for Subarus.

  • @poetikplaya: IDK how to drive stick so it wouldn't do me any good. I think all of the STI's are stick shift last time I checked. I've never had any need to drive a manual but I drive a built auto. If I found one that was automatic, and was tough enough, I'd drive it.

  • looks as slow as anon turbo :S

  • U guys probably know it.. But my WRX has this Turbo lag which is horrible especially during the start ups... What is the most efficient way to increase your acceleration.. ?Except a buying a new turbo of course I'm planning to change it later on.

  • td04 (the turbo on a stock wrx) is small and will give you the least lag possible. go any bigger and you wait even longer for spool up. get uppipe/downpipe/catback/ and a good tune. that's the best you'll get if you want instantaneous spool.

    but odds are you don't need advice: you be trollin' .

  • @poetikplaya thanks!

  • @poetikplaya you could put a smaller turbo no?

  • @olioli917

    the td04 is already incredibly small. it suites the wrx just fine in stock and near stock form. lag is just about as minimal as a turbo motor can give you. you'll always have lag with a turbo'd motor. if you want instant boost then sell the wrx and buy a car that either has a supercharger or can easily be supercharged.

    just get a tune to see if it fixes your lag issues. not much else i can suggest.

  • @poetikplaya Ok, I've never driven the stock WRX, I remember my dad's STi has spectacular turbo lag. And then my 5 cyl audi had a small turbo but it was old so it lagged very little. But by FAR, the quiquest spooling setup is the one found in my base Saab 93, this thing takes-of INSTANTLY with full boost at <2000revs in any gear. Insta-power!

  • @nukeurhouse12

    agreed with poetikplaya. Also port and polish, will increase flow

  • @nukeurhouse12 A tune will fix your lag issues.... just went cobb stage 2 half protuned and turbo lag is minimal off the line. Its nice

  • Rev it out a little more.

  • omg i forgot how slow my car is stock....

  • Was tht head gasket failure alarm at end?...

  • wrong motor there. head gaskets here notorious on the n/a ej's typically found in the foresters and legacy's...not the wrx's. nice try though.

  • @poetikplaya ive owned loads of non turbo subarus including a forester and never had a head problem once, my laste non turbo had over 220k on the clock!

  • @LittleKirra : nah, that was the "DANGER TO MANIFOLD!" alarm. lolz

  • Wow pussy!!! Bring that bitch to redline!!!!

  • @Knot2shaby HP drops off after 6k rpm in a WRX. It's pointless to bring it to redline. Peak HP is roughly between 4750-5500 rpm.

  • why the hel are u shifting at 6500 you do know they go up to 7200 right shift at least at 7000,

  • lol at u idiots telling him to launch it so hard. 02-05 wrx are known for their "glass transmissions" you dump the clutch wrong and BOOM!

  • thats why you dont dump it ever i launch my wrx at 6500 but i slip the clutch just a little to the point where its not too hard of a launch but hard enough to launch right

  • that was not a very good 0-60 time for a turbo awd car.

  • also, try changing gears @ 7RPM

  • Mate, That's a really bad take off, you got to slip the clutch @ between 5 and 5.5 RPM, Mine likes it there, smallest of tire spin, and you can get there in under 5.8 (0-100 kph that is)

  • this one doesnt seem very fast. my friend has an 02' and his doesnt seem as sluggish. you should get a tune up.

  • thats not bad for a stock wrx. 0-60 approx 6 secs, thats about right.

  • not as fast as i thought it would be

  • Comment removed

  • why does your car talk to you when your going fast?

  • @sk8tinboy6 sounds like it says "emergency vehicle approaching" so he probably has a radar.

  • its odd to me how this car rapes my car to 60..But my car rapes this car 10 fold 60-120..I like speed within legal limits. I love myy ss balt and it is very fast once rolling, but I envy the dig acceleration of your car. Gotta love the AWD

  • why would it have nos button if its a stock?

  • how many times did u hit vtec

  • omg I forgot how slow a wrx is stock

  • is it safe to launch a rex at 5K?

  • if you know how to launch, you can do it at any rpm. tip: don't dump the clutch.

  • @poetikplaya what is dumping the cluch

  • when you just lift your foot off the clutch...really fast.

  • @poetikplaya and by the way your dumb you can launch at any rpm? even launching from 4-5k and dumping the clutch puts a huge stress on the transmission and just letting your foot off the clutch slowly is called being a retard and burning the clutch up, but hey its mommy and daddys money anyways right?

  • @poetikplaya How do you get a good launch on this car? I'm getting one very soon and would like to know my way around a good launch :)

  • @matthewcardinals If you enjoy the use of your clutch and transmission I wouldn't launch it at all.

  • thanks for this, now I know how much better my wrx 2004 tuned is :)

  • meh I went that fast in my Fiat Panda.

  • OHHH SHIT COPS!!!!!!!!

  • I Dinnt KNow That STI Has "Vtec" Like TF!!! (Scar)

  • u guys no nufin subaru boxsta 4wd system is run horizontialy by the engine. it work completly as a rally car even the non turbo impreza's. the sysem is 71 29 front whels. these stats are most proven to drag rallys cars out of dirty positions. u drivin ugly v8s that drink fuel n go no where. get in one of these beasts n it mte teach u sumit. fat greasy yank cunt

    o yea n learn to spell.

    ur mum,s shitt

  • oi mate ill tell you. becos mazda r shit

    there ur muma cars not race cars. fat cunnt

  • its donk how a car with 227 HP from 2004 is faster than a 2010 speed3 with 265 hp

  • 4wd is split 50/50. awd is not. general statement cuz there are variables so let the flame posts begin

  • kool :)

  • Hahaha, this video has some of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. Too many 13 year olds looking for NOS vids :'(

  • Without a good launch, a stock WRX will have trouble doing 0-100km/h under 7 seconds. The 4wd system causes it to bog down off the mark.

  • @sodazman

    i hit 60 in under 6 seconds here with a shitty launch.

  • @poetikplaya You hit 60 in around 7 seconds (from 5 to 12 seconds in your clip). And your 0-62 time (100km/h) is around 7.5 seconds. If you launch it properly you can get it in the high 6s. You'll need an STi or Evo with 40 odd more kws to get it under 6. I've owned one for 3 years and I've hit the drag strip many times.

  • @sodazman An '04 Forester XT does it stock in 5.3. No need for an STi. ;-)

    @xxftwismymottoxx Most Subaru manual transmissions have a 50/50 front/rear split.

  • @poetikplaya i got 0-60 with no launch and n/a BMW FTW

  • @sodazman generally, the AWD system makes for a better start if you have the skills to do it HAHAHAHA do not troll, troll

  • @SportLeichtRensport You sound like a noob and obviously haven't driven a WRX before. Unless you launch the car hard at high RPM it's slow as hell off the mark. And doing that is very bad for the clutch. The 4wd system has traction advantages but it also loses more power in the process.

  • @sodazman FACEPALM. I was responding to the fact that u said, "The 4wd system causes it to bog down off the mark." First of all, it's AWD not 4WD, learn the difference. Second, AWD systems have a better start if, like u said, "launch the car hard at high RPM" than RWD or FWD systems. BUT WAIT, THOSE 2 STATEMENTS CONTRADICT EACH OTHER. gtfo plz if ur not gonna be consistent in what u say.

  • @SportLeichtRensport 4wd just means that all 4 wheels can receive torque at the same time. AWD is mostly just a marketing term. Like I said, you sound like you haven't driven one. If you owned one you would know exactly what I'm talking about.

  • @sodazman wrong, 4wd only allows the wheels to get 50/50 drive where as awd is 70/30. it sends more power to the rear wheels and then when needed like in a corner it will send more power to the front, awd is not for off roading like 4x4 ! go on good and tye in, what is the difference between 4x4 and awd and it will explain it better

  • @sodazman With a good launch, a stock WRX will do 0-100km/h in under 5 seconds...

  • @StefanSu91 No it won't. A stock Sti can't even do that. 

  • @sodazman 4wd system with a 5000 drop will piss most cars off the roead. this guy cant handle clutch control forcin him to ride it for a second to long. a stock wrx will hit 100 in 6.1 secs. thats enuf to beat most road driven porches n ferraris. at the end of the day its all in the driver. i cud beat this prick in a mini

  • lol dude are you saying 100mph in 6.1 secs?

  • @sodazman

    Think again. What WRX have you drove?

    I also have a stock that does it under 6 seconds every single time.

  • @sodazman Thats not true. The AWD system is contrarily advantageous if exercised correctly.

  • @sodazman my wrx wont bog down as long as you rev it to 5k

  • @ what rpm's does the vtec Xover kick in???? 

  • @mrdragking13

    about 5000 rpm's like all other hondas.

  • @poetikplaya Why doesn't mine have VTEC?

  • @mrdragking13 vtec kicks in around lunch time so it could happen from 11-2pm so stay off the road

  • Wait a second, what's this radar thing?

  • Gotta red line better, dood.

  • your a fagget there is no nos in this car pussy

  • @kartkid79

    it's better than your red neck go-karts, troll. get back to fucking your sister.

    btw, you're a faggot. see the difference?

  • @poetikplaya roflcones in real life off that response...

  • @poetikplaya lmao

  • @kartkid79 Just in case nobody else has told you since you made that comment that was obviously a a joke you brain-dead downs syndrome dumpster baby.

  • @kartkid79 oviously he is kidding. Jesus

  • is this the turbo model?

  • I dont have a wrx, but that seemed really slow. maybe because it took you like a year and a half to shift.

  • @patttrikk

    It was slow. It was stock, but still slower than that of a stock wrx (driver error). But at stage 2 im sure it was right up there with your modded ms3.

  • I dont know why, but comments under videos of WRX's are the most retarded on youtube...must be because of all the need for speed 13 year old fanboys coming here and pretending they got a WRX themselves.

  • @derbigpr500

    impreza's are the new civics and 240's. that's why. haha.

  • @derbigpr500

    impreza's are the new civics and 240's. that's why. haha. which is a shame...but not much i can do about it. i don't own one anymore so i kinda care less.

  • i remember my first time driving

  • @tympmanic hahha thats mean

  • Lol @ your shifting.

  • wr only have liek 225hp prolly at the crack so dont hate it

  • @theungrateful34

    cocain is one hell of a drug. lol.

    "prolly at the crack"

  • @poetikplaya

    haha awesome

  • here let me post a normal comment that dosent criticizes or judge ur life like some of these ppl.

    nice car dude, much more snappy than my 2.2l 97 impreza ;)

  • dumb 1

  • WTF ! retard doesnt even know how to shift !!! , trade it for a mini van , fits u better !!

  • @rx8drifter3333, lol you looking for attention? im guessing you have a mini van and you want me to trade you? i would, but cars long gone. hey dont trade for an rx8, they suck, they're slow, and drift?? you retarded?....just keep to intial D anime. that's all i got for your poor ass.

    yes do try again, try very hard. please review your response before hitting "post"

  • @poetikplaya gay!

  • @poetikplaya lol great dude ahahhha

  • @poetikplaya lol great dude ahahhha you made that guy eat his on shit

  • These have got to be the DUMBEST comments I have EVER... read on Youtube.

  • @botch8949, I don't know how people come up with these things to say. I guess it's because most think I'm dead serious about nos and vtec. And people are just fucking stupid. haha.

  • @Solumic

    and you're gay. that sucks too.

  • @Solumic LOL i'm sensing jealousy, must be another civic owner. How's that traction working for ya?

  • why didnt you get a wrx sti? way better.

  • @vteckicksarse

    wow. i've never heard of the sti. i looked it up on google and i am SOO amazed. it's awesome. i should've gotten that.

    thanks for the tip. saved my life.

  • @poetikplaya lol yeah no probs. sti is faster its top of range model. 300bhp. easily tunable to like 500bhp

  • @vteckicksarse

    Sadly, that's not true. The newest STi is listed at 305 hp, so that's at the crank. Subaru (or any other manufacturer) doesn't dyno test their cars and list the whp, the crank hp is a bigger number and therefore a better selling point. They probably still turn out 265 or so, and that's not bad, but no Subaru puts out 300+ hp from the factory (sans Cosworth).

  • @f1u1c1k

    All manufacturers list crank hp because it's more consistent. There are too many factors involved with the use of a dyno because all dynos are different. Mustang vs Dynojet, 3rd gear vs 4th gear pull etc...most importantly, drivetrain loss.

    265 would be a high reading dyno. I've heard of 220-240. 

  • @poetikplaya

    Good point. I still think it sells more cars, though. Wouldn't you like a car that makes "305 hp" rather than 240? It's for the know-nothing Starbucks racers to talk about!!

  • @f1u1c1k yeh but what i mean is scoobys are realy tunable, simple remap, turn the boost up, air filter, big exhaust, couple of other little things and can archive about 350bhp...

  • @poetikplaya lol great reply!!!! lovin it

  • why is it titled stock if you have nos in it?

  • @thatsbetter384

    are you retarded?

  • @thatsbetter384 LMFAO!

  • yea something must be different about ur shifting technique...im still in second gear when i hit 60mph in my 03 wrx

  • Auto Tranny?

  • @ultramax123

    5spd.

  • i love how u call me a redneck when im italian

  • @maxboya  But you "ACT" like a redneck ;)

    Hope that clears things up. :D

  • @maxboya

    cause you still fuck your sister?

  • hahaha 2nd nos button...I didnt know if u press ur hazzard lights youll get nos. thanks ill keep that in mind tard fuck.

  • @maxboya

    haha. you're such a redneck fag. go fuck your sister.

  • 0.06 that is a fuckin park light switch for fucks sakes, and this fuckwit claims its nos.

    Stupid fuckin americans.

  • @subbie241 dude calm down he was clearly kidding around stupid fucking jumping to conclusions.

  • @blindrawing

    let him be smart and tough behind a screen. kids like them have nothing to show for.

  • @poetikplaya yea true...btw nice wrx haha.. 

  • @subbie241

    noooo, i converted it to shoot 150 shot of NOS!!!!! couldnt you tell? shit kicked in so dam hard i almost fucked your mother. but then i realized i'd be your daddy, i dont wanna be your daddy. ugly sob.

    and how can you see 0.06 seconds? video just starts counting as 0:01 seconds. HAHA. you're a retarded bitch.

  • @subbie241 you can convert that switch to do whatever you want it to...my controls my intercooler water spray system.....what the hell does "subbie" stand for anyway --substitute teacher...probably explains why ur so dumb.

  • @subbie241 your a little bitch lol

  • I kicked a wrx's ass the other day in my 02 acura tl type s

  • @DareOnlyGaming

    with a 6speed cl-s, you'd easily beat a stock wrx. my AV6-6 right i have now is just as quick, if not quicker than my old wrx in this video. the av6-6 and cls-6 is pretty close in performance with the exception of the lsd.

    but my av6-6 (nor any bolt on cl-s) wouldn't stand a chance against the simple bolt ons i had on my wrx (after this video took place). it takes a supercharger to even touch low 13's in any j-series motor.

    but yeah, tl/cl-s, av6-6 are awesome stock cars.

  • crappy mileage - I have an 04 wrx wagon- taking it easy- 22-23mpg around town, 28-29 mpg highway.( shifting at 25-2800 rpm). I get around 19 mpg around town running 30-35% e85 mixed w/ 93 octane premium and pushing it a little harder (shifting at 4000-4500 rpm) these cars can get good mileage if handled gently.

  • That needs VTEC

  • youre not too good at shifting.

  • AHahah NO NOS BOutonn IS The 4 flicher Ahaha Esti gland laid

  • lmao at the vtakkkk

  • hey one question how many mpg? you do around ?

  • 18city avg. 22 hwy. easy driving.

    it's pretty bad. BUT i think it deals a lot with the individual car. many owners have reported much better mgs's.

  • Well, you don't buy scooby if you're worried about fuel economy. You'd get Skoda 1.6 diesel instad. :)

    One question. I can hear whining noise when you shift to 2nd gear, just like 1st was slowing down after pressing clutch pedal. Does it also make some grinding noise when you're in 1st or 2nd gear and take your foot off the accelerator? Mine does it, it doesn't sound to well to me but garage says it's normal and since it's my first scoob I'm not really sure.

  • @OhFishyFish

    it's not a grind.these trannys are loud because the scynros suck.

  • hey but if i do the shift at 4500rmp i always do 18 mpg?

  • @jhonytox

    i honestly can't say what mpg you'll get. there are too many factors. the best answer i can give you is a wide range, like 17-23 mpg.

  • @jhonytox you will get worse mpg. more rpm..more gas used. just shift at 2500 man.

  • @truehiphophead

    your retarted if you think they would ever put a dohc or sohc vtec engine anywhere near a subaru chassis. whetehr they bought honda or not. that would never happen. the flat 4 boxter creates far more power then vtec

  • @ryanvetro

    check your sarcasm meter.

    however, since you're all mr. serious on the internet, i'll tell you you're stupid.

    jdm v.7 and v.8 - hell almost ALL jdm sti motors have valve lift technology AKA vtec/vvti/disi/etc etc etc...lifting the valves and a opening of butterflies is OLD technology. honda just uses as a trademark in their name to attract fanboys.

    and it's a "boxer" motor which is just a slang term, not an actual term, same goes for "flat", it's horizontally opposed.

  • Hahahaha

  • hahaha nos button

    your being sarcastic right?

  • @ermir6

    nope. 150 wet shot on top of the vtec = i-vtec.

    yes.

  • what was that noise at the end?

  • @LilNug

    cheap ass radar detector.

  • Rod bearing indicator.

  • wow all these posts are full of fail. i cant believe someone actually believed you have vtec. i have the biggest fucking facepalm.

  • @littotaq

    lmao.

    car's gone now. sold it a few weeks ago.

    last run was 14.1 @ 99mph

  • what went off at 100mph? i have a 2004 wrx and ive never heard that

  • @rallylover00

    my radar detector.

    damn, there's a lot of noobs.

  • heh stock Subaru that suddenly has hidden nos buttons and a vtec Honda engine lol

  • @naireland

    haha someone needs to learn vtech and boost are two seperate things

  • @TheSkateflip

    haha someone needs to learn that youtube and actual life are two separate things.

    sarcasm stupid car-less faggot.

  • good lord moron, could you not detect the slight hint of sarcasm?

  • Nateman8 - Sir, this is a WRX. Which means it is not a Naturally Aspirated motor. It is turbo'd. Nice car, I drive a 04 WRX in WRB. Love it. Oh, nice NOS button, haha. No one catches humor anymore do they?

  • yes, i know what it is. all the tabs are just jokes cause this video is so noob. some do take it seriously, which adds to the humor.

    mines JBP, wrb is a bit too common for my taste.

    the car isnt stock anymore, it's got tbe, up, and an opensource tune @ 20psi.

  • jeez thats pretty impressie for a stock n/a car, no wonder the sti has such a quick 0-60

  • @nateman8

    it's slow by today's standards. was quick in 2004 but compared to cars of today 2010, it's just average.

  • this is not racing. atleast push till the early red.

  • i cant. at redline, the second vtec kicks in and it's too much power.

  • Vtec huh? wow didnt know subarus had vtec.... dumb fuck......

  • @djrecrem2k3

    aww, silly beaner who wears ecko and phat pharm...your DA9 has no vtec, so you have no idea how epic vtec is. your "launch" is about as fast as my casual driving...took you like 8.5 sec to hit 60mph. no way that can get you across the border.

    stick with your best sport...(no n
