Video: P5Turbo vs WRX

WRX's stock are not fast from a rolling start. Go to clubwrx.net and they will tell you that. I.E. They are talking about a C230 Kompressor stock vs a Stock WRX. They say off the line from a complete dead stop the Kompressor will get smoked. From a rolling start the C230 will pull on the WRX. They get all there wins from the launch due to the AWD. I have beat WRX's from a complete dead stop because the driver is unable to get the launch down. I have a MSP with just a downpipe system and a injen CAI. I don't know were your getting your 'fax' but obviously you haven't seen the whole story.
EDIT: Just because you have a fast car doesn't mean it will be that fast.

What, wrx is 227 hp!!!! where you getting your fax!!

Sti is 303 hp??

WRX would smoke a turbo p5, SMOKE IT!!!!!!!
Woops, wps...

Still, read up on the wrx, way faster.........

Anyways, until I see a 1 on 1 face witht the mp5 ahead, I disagree. But then again ive never riden is a turbo mp5 so I can't truely understand.

Ill take your word, Im not calling anyone a liar here, But I just think you caught up too fast in the vid to beleive they were going all out. Especially changing lanes like that.

yea, what they all said =)

you can't compare stock hp to a modded car's power. I think our cars lose ~20% hp from the enging to the wheels and im sure the percentage is bigger when we're talking about AWD cars. So 227 is more like 170 or something
 
Empeefive, read the 'fax' before you try and quote them. Just a little advice since everyone here seems to agree with igdrasil and not you. But not trying to flame or anything like that.
 
Yeah, a WRX dynos in at about 167WHP. I have looking to get one for a quite a while. As for the roll off, WRX's are terrible, they have horrendus turbo lag on the bottom of a gear. But, they do run low 14's stock. Thats pretty damn quick. Your P5 is definetly sweet though bud!
 
WRX= 168whp
WRX= 14.2 1/4 mile Stock.


I beg to differ about the REX's. My buddie got a '04 they pull to the moon on the highway! One minute your doing 60mph then all the sudden your going 110mph. They DO lag but it's not bad at all. I have driven his. Once they spool up they're gone.
 
yea ive raced my friend from a role, and i was able to beat him pretty easily. they lose so much hp at the wheels. 227 my ass.

168whp / 227 crank
 
co0L man....ive taken some wrx's out with only 4psi...even a loaded car...if theyre modded...its harder, but mostly driver, you have a bad driver, car cant do much

How much boost were you pushing? What size turbo do you have?

what the spool turbo comes with:

7psi on a Garret TO3 .48e/.52i with 60 wheel.
Running pig rich because of the vortech 12:1 and an Aux 125psi inline fuel pump.

could be peaking 7.5-8psi :D

Well igdrasil, I guess I underestimated the power of a turbo mp5, its just that my stock mp5 is so slow.

Props to you for buillding such a nice machine.

I must say, Impressed.

Whats your 1/4 mile??
 
igdrasil thats crazy man. hey pimpprotege we need turbos now :( lol then wen i got to orlando we cant pwn every one :)


Edit: ima see mp5jeff thursday and maybe he will be nice and gimme a ride in his turbo p5
 
Hey nice kill, I actually raced a sti today and pulled about 4 car lengths on it from a 20mph roll. I quit at the end of 4th gear because I was going unreasonably fast and traffic was comming up.:D

The guy in the sti was shocked and asked if I was stock. I just said it was a stock MSP(laugh)


Poor thing he had no clue.

Then we pulled to the side of the road and saw the laptop and he was like dont bulls*** me man, I was almost goint to trade in the my sti for a speed :D
 
Empeefive, the wrx makes 227at the crank. it loses alot of power threw the tranny and the AWD takes a s*** load too. the low 1/4 times have alot to do with the low 60 ft times do to the grip of AWD, from a roll they arent this s*** they are made out to be.
