WRX is very mod friendly. It doesn't take much to turn this into low 13's car.
For about 1000 bucks you can get boost controller, unichip, up and other goodies.

Fastest WRX with mods(stock turbo, stock internals) ran as fast as 12.3
Watch out for these things.. with bigger turbo they can run easy low 11's all day.

SC s2k will EAT stock WRX
Stock WRX is no match for even stock S2k. But if you run them from a dead stop, besure to drop @6-7krpm
These things are AWD+turbo and do 0-60 between 5.5-6 seconds like our cars. They can hang pretty well with S2000's

It's much easier to kill them from a rolling start(highway) because they have sorry gearing and poor aerodynamics
