Astra SRiT 4.0 - WRX 0

[Brett]

Yeh just more of a problem racing a GOOD driver off the lights in a new wrx, the 05 rexys are considerably quicker then the old bug eyes, once your moving however you can chop most things haha

[Namus]

yeah mainly ecu improvements with the 05 rex....less of the infamous off-boost lag...still would go with an Evo VIII if i had a choice of the two

[Brett]

yeh and the new rexy also have active valve control, I drove a WRP-10 the other day, Was really impressed, big step over the others, goes hard in first and second and even third and fourth arent so whimpy anymore

yeah that's wat i've read in car mags too about the WRP-10; but that's the thing about the WRX; a minor ECU tweak and u get a whole new car....wish ours were that simple

[Brett]

Yeh I reckon below 100ks a WRP would be seriously hard to drop, although they still bog down off the start, so i reckon you could get them off the lights unless they do a more brutal launch, but once into say 3rd gear they are going to be dropped by a highly modded astra T

why wont holden bring the turbo to NZ so want to stick it the rex boys over here :cry:

[InsaneAsylum]

hehehehe holdens pricing could never compete with the low tariff jap imports of NZ. you can pick up an evo lancer for a few cases of tui

[Namus]
