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.

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.

@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.

also, try changing gears @ 7RPM

[smithyyy1993]

@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.

[turbokickass]

its pretty slow wen u hit 80 mph..

[braddlez1]

mph or kph????

@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.
