Ian is right. It’s a stock 08. He just asked to race “before he gets mods” Hahaha n00b, behind the wheel of Choda made me more cocky than me :lol: Ill smoke him now, and after his “exhaust and Perrin tune”. ---

Even with “stage two” parts and a protune, the 08’s only make like 250-260 whp. (3200ish lbs) The first year of the new body style got the SHAFT powertrain wise. > [@Choda](#): > > Ian is right.

If it stock turbo it’s a td04 which is pretty small, probably would make 250whp with downpipe, exhaust and protune (doubt an ots tune would net that much). Even if he’s a good driver that car is still pretty slow without an upgraded turbo. Still fun though awd with almost instant spool. ---

There is no official stages after stage 2. Stage 3 - eleventybillion could mean anything. And as already touched, the 08 WRX is the slowest of the new body styles. Even with a protune and exhaust, I think you will wax him. ---

No way. A “good” driver MIGHT yield a high 13 with a down pipe and a tune… On average most likely a mid fourteen second car. > [@captain morgan](#): > > with 250whp and 3200lbs shouldnt it run low-mid 13’s, with a good driver? ---

> [@Shifty](#): > > If I was planning on doing some pulls, I would be more interested in trap speed and less concerned about ET’s agreed. i also find it funny that people are relating hp to et…hp is more representative of trap speed. et is more representative of torque and how well the car works… i think the truck will outrun the wrx. ---

just doing some ricer math and my bone stock s4 was rated at 250hp, maybe 200whp and weighed roughly 3200lbs and ran 13.8@100 so i would think a vehicle similar in weight with 40-50hp should be good for .5 sec faster and 4-6 mph higher ---

Prob as fast as joes hatch was ? It will prob be pretty even. Depending on driver and what speed you go up to I think they both run the same as mine roughly Sent from my LG-E739 using Tapatalk 2 ---
