what are you talking about we went from a roll and we were not doing the quarter mile
there is nothing wrong with my s2k what makes your think that 02 wrx with 225hp 225trq is that much slower?

Trap speeds are very indicative of a cars overall speed. With a measly 90mph trap speed it is very obvious that the only reason a WRX isn't a mid 15 second car is because of the AWD launch.
What's wrong with it is that because of AWD it actually puts down ~170whp and weighs in at ~3000lbs. An S2k with ~200whp @ 2800lbs should not have any problem walking away from one at any speed and ESPECIALLY from a roll.

ya but also almost have 100 more ft/lbs of torque then we do also it makes up trust me
driver makes a huge difference i gurantee you, you put me in a stock wrx and you in your s2000 we will be dead even

I have cars with 100+ more lb/ft of torque than the S2k and let me tell you that torque is overrated, trust me. Torque satisfies the ol' butt dyno more than it does acceleration numbers, which is probably why the S2k still has a faster 0-60 than a WRX even with the AWD launch.

I'm willing to put a lot of money on that one. Unless you have some magical method of extracting another 10mph out of a stock car I don't see any way it will keep up.

You might want to get your S2k checked out. WRX's trap ~90mph v. the S2k's trap of ~100mph. Your results do not add up. My old Celica GTS was slower than my S2k, and it still pulled stock WRX's pretty hard.

^thank you
maybe at lower elevation you guys might be right but at 5500ft above elevation there dead even up here i have yet too see an s2000 beat a wrx from 0-60 times stock for stock
