No, you're smart. Stock vs stock they're both low 14-second cars on the street, and the WRX is definitely easier to launch because of the AWD. Beyond that, almost everyone lies about their mods, nobody buys a WRX, leaves it stock, then goes out asking for races (unless they just purchased it that day).

Under optimal conditions, the quickest S2K (13.7) is still quicker than the quickest WRX (13.8) without the superior launch, which tells you that from a roll you're quite a bit quicker. However, with just a few mods, a properly driven S2K is no match for a properly driven 2.0 WRX, and just completely forget the 2.5L.

Having said all this, anything can, and does happen on the street. Good kill.

If that's a 2.0 WRX, I believe it. If it's a 2.5L, I still believe it, but the answer isn't "stock for stock you should win" because that's a lot less likely.

It's a familiar scenario, but so is Stage 2 (exhaust + reflash), which means bye-bye S2K .

GT35R EVO = bye bye for both...until it breaks, which should take less time than this sentence takes to read .

I think it's, "speed is money, how fast do you want to go?"
