Weird how people who can drive VERY well in stock wrx's are netting 13.9's-14.1's. Yet we have someone here in a stock FA5 Si that has netted a 14.096

Yeah the WRX is a hell of alot faster out of the hole, but up top is where the wrx lacks tremendously stock. The Si will reel it in eventually. Not to mention the wrx puts out about 175whp stock because of the awd etc. Which happens to be pretty comparable to what the Si puts down stock minus the weight of the wrx.

Sorry boss, stock Si's run 14.6 at best w/ a awesome driver. I dont care if there's a freak that ran a 14.0. People need to understand engines aren't built equally. Not every Si can run 14.0 w/ the right driver.

He also coulda just had a bottle lol, you never know.

that my opinion. i just wasn't impressed at all with the WRx, it doesn't even feel like your in a sports car.

And....not every wrx can run a 13.9-14.1 stock either so whats your point?

Theres been a few stock si's running in the low 14's and NONE were on the bottle. I believe there are 1-2 right on this site that posted slips and vids.
