Default They are very common around here and i raced probably about 3 of them and one was tonight...

He had some good work done to it too and still beat him pretty bad.

Default Obviously he wasn't as modded as you thought or he said. They can be made VERY fast

And considering you're only stage 1 don't think you're the fastest out there. Stock for stock it's a close race. There is a lot of subarus running 10,s 11,s and 12,s. There is a video of a wrx wagon running in the 9's search for it. They don't have the fit and finish of our cars but don't assume theyre all slow cause you raced 3 in your town.

Default My dad has a 04 WRX w/ Prodrive ECU and Turbo back....

and I think its pretty fast. I've yet to line up with him but I don't think it would be one sided.

Default From what I have found, from a dig and lower speeds rolls 20-30mph, they are pretty fast. From a

40mph+ roll, I might as well be racing my grandmothers Buick. STI is a different story though. I raced a few and it was just about even. I would pull like 1 car at most.

They are strong down low but then run out of breath.

i guess it depends what they have done, and what you consider slow...you're right
