    I think we need to be realistic here boys.
    Off boost a WRX is a slug. Well the models i have experienced are anyways. So if u catch one off guard you can put them away.

    But yeah.. When those things are wound up a vr6 has no chance.

    Maybe when Seb finishes his VR6 drag car then we can claim victory over this one
    thank you well thats what I thought

    Supercharging is something I cant get out of my head.
    But 150-180kw in a FWD car? Ugh.

    Torque steer sucks. I dont like having to fight it whilst thundering down a straight.

    Somebody wave a magick wand and get a RWD conversion kit going

    (...maybe ill just have to save for a mk4 r32 instead)

    I didn't qualify my comment with "N/A hatch". If you think VRs are quick then you obviously haven't been in many truely fast cars. Sure, they have enough poke to put a good grin on your face, to smoke those riced-up Civics, and are light enough to be very chuckable, but try going for a spin in a lightly modded RZ Supra, EVO6/7, late RX7 - the VR is in dreamland there. My VR has a few mods and I am fairly confident it is one of the quicker VRs going around, but trying to take on a WRX on full boost really is dreamin. If it were a 1994 stock Rex with 200k on the clock, you would stick with it. Remembering that most WRXs are gonna have intake and exhaust mods, and probably increased boost, you are gonna need a snail on a VR to compete with most Rexs. Also remember that most people on the road are not professional racecar drivers and a lot of "street wins" can be put down to driver skill.

    My 16v could keep up with a VR6 but having been in a passenger in a 2000 wrx just last night getting thrashed it's on another level. Look at the 0-160 times to be convinced!
