The quailty / looks of a VW in my opinion are great but unfortunatley i realized making one fast was an expensive habbit going no where! > [@2006WRX](#): > > I agree my stock WRX (when it was) would waste a chipped VW. I know because i have a fairly moded VW and My scooby still spanks it. So are you saying stock WRX vs chipped VW your WRX is faster or heavily modded vs heavily modded your WRX is faster? Ah, nevermind. It doesn’t matter since it’s all bench racing anyways. My money would still be on an STI vs an APR tuned 2.0T. APR 2.0T vs stock '06 WRX I think would be close. But again, pointless bench racing. Sounds like you have and do own some nice cars. :tup: Oh, and I agree the level of fit and finish on VW’s is great. Unfortunately that also makes them heavy and thus difficult to make “fast”. They also don’t exactly have Japanese reliability. Although I like mine, it probably won’t be long before it’s gone and there’s an E36 in its place… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vw-sti-w-mods/17672)._
