new respect for WRX
MY friend raced my other friend today. One has Type R one has 02' dubRx. I was sitting shotgun in the Type R almost 80% sure we were going to win...we lined up and dropped the clutch... the dubRx immediately JUMPED a fullc ar and continued to pull.. when we put it in third no one made ground or lost and he was about 4 cars ahead... TRULY AMAZING LAUNCH

When they first came out, i passed on the WRX (Like a dumbass) and bought a Type R.... God I hated the type R.....even with limited slip, the thing had no traction for streetracing. I got KILLED by a WRX before I could even get moving. I sold the Type R and got a typhoon (streetracing king). 
WRX STI if the price is right, may be in my cards.

Dude, you thought a FWD car could keep up with an AWD car on the launch? Think again. Even a Porsche 911, with a rear engine, rwd configuration, cannot launch as hard as an AWD car.

The WRX isn't exactly wind cheating in shape either
it has the frontal area of a house!
Its really a sub 100mph car, where acceleration is quite good... its no highway terror, but then its mission wasn't that of a highway terror...
Pretty good potential for 13s and even 12s out of the WRX... but once you get over 100, it just isn't the same...

i TOTALLY AGREE.. however this is the first time i have seen one launch... at the races this same WRX raced a civic SI with intake and exhaust and squeezing an 80 shot and the WRX launched and beat him in the 1/4 mile however at like 110 the civic blew by him.. shows the weak third/4th gear....

You think that that's fast, wait until 2003. Mitsubishi is "suposedly" releasing the Lancer Evo stateside. If it's anything like the overseas Evo, betta watch out.
