TLontheDL Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 what are the 1/4 miles for those 2 cars....stock. what are the hp's for those 2 cars.....stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0verb00st Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 the S2000 is a lot smaller and lighter than the WRX. i dont know the 1/4 mi for the s2K, but the WRX is 14.4 seconds @94.3 MPH stock. there are a lot of inexpensive upgrades for the WRX also. and the cheapest mod of all is to take off the muffler. since it's a turbo, backpressure isnt an issue. you could run a 3" dia. straight pipe on the WRX and see some nice hp gains.

0verb00st Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 EDIT: those times are for the WRX station wagon. the coupe should be a little quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLontheDL Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 so basically, stock, they're both head to head. question for all: if we all were at an illegal street race at night...and saw an s2k vs wrx, who would you place your money on?? and yes i know "it all depends on what mods they had" but lets say we dont know...and its a surprise? its a hard decision but i'd probably place my bet on the s2k... dont ask me why... i guess its probably b/c there are more mod's available for hondas than wrx... but don't quote me on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLontheDL Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 oh yeah, i forgot to thank truesi for the valuable info! oh and by the way, i think you meant to type, "1/8 mile time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueSi Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I just edited I meant to write 0-60MPH Oh and by the way I will put my money on the WRX (all Wheel drive)because he has fewer chances of loosing traction at the take off, and as far as bolt-ons they both have about the same the WRX all it needs is an upgraded intercooler.

XScarAudio Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 the wrx's i've seen ACTUALLY run in the low 15's consistantly, and the s2000's run high 14s. seen 2-3 of each run at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Ok boys, I know this is a Honda forum and you guys are all for the Hondas but let me lay it down for ya. My friend has an S2000, with a Mugen exhaust and an injen intake. I currently have on my WRX an uppipe and a boost contoller. We raced from a roll on the highway doing about 60. Lets just say I got him by about a car length. From a dead dig I would have stomped him bad. My 1/4 mile times are in the 13's. My best being a 13.5. Oh and the WRX is a more upgradeable car than the S2000 for this one reason, it's a turbo vehicle. A boost controller gives you 15hp for every 1psi you bump it up. I won't argue on one aspect though, the S2000 is a sexy ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 ok...here's where my money's going: street: the s2k would kill (more than likely in my opinion.) looks: s2k...much better lookin, especially with a body kit road course: wrx...all wheel drive, better traction for the turns. although it would be very close rally: omfg...of course the wrx would kill show car: s2k, i love s2k show cars thats just my 10 cents (my 2 cents is free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I won't argue with the fact the S2000 is a sexy car. It is, I want one, bad, but against the WRX stock they hang close. Within a tenth of a second of one another on the strip. After they are modded though, game over. WRX ownz the s2000 after about 500 dollars worth of mods. I just kill my friend from a dead dig, we raced today by the way. You just can't beat a 5 grand AWD launch..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 you could beat it with a 3 grand all wheel drive launch. the 3 grand being a 3000gt vr4 twin turbo. which brings up a new thread!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optional187 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 yes...lol. matt monett got a stealth to run high 10's no nos. 22psi he ran something like 10.95 and at 18psi and a 70 shot he ran 10.88. Check it out why can't somebody make a site like this for honda's??? every-damn-thing you need to tune your 3000gt/stealth right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 This is getting totally of topic but I got ya beat. The world's fastest WRX belongs to a shop called ESX. They were in the latest issue of Turbo magazine, the Scoobie ran a 10.45 with no nitrous. They tried to run it again with the juice but the axels both broke simultaneously, sucks bad but they were shooting for the nines with the nitrous. I'll post the article on here when I find it online, I got the mag right here but that doesn't help...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 damn!!! 10.45 thats tight. but the fastest 3kgt's pull nines sprayin. i just used matt monetts stealth as a reference cause i have the webpage memorized. lol wrx = 3000gt vr4 = :rockon: what about a wrx vs. a lancer? both pretty much equal right? i'm gonna have to say the wrx would probably kill (more aftermarket tunability), but the lancer would be a tight ride (lancer 5 that is...i don't like the new ones).

WRX Driver03 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 The WRX versus the Lancer overseas is a close, close battle. The STi WRX tends to be the better speed car in a straight line but the Lancer has a better suspension and active differentials which help it pull out of the turns with more power. Both cars are amazing to drive I have heard. The comparison over here though to the WRX and the Lancer is weak. The WRX kills it. The current Lancer is only FF and no turbo. Slow, very slow. Next year though Mitsu is bringing the real Lancer over here. In short, may the rally wars begin............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX Driver03 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Yeah, the WRC is crazy as hell. The navigators are always movin' their mouths. As for the site Drew it looks kick ass man, if you ever need any help at al don't hesitate to ask. I've done a few before myself...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxtc Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 an awd talon or eclipse can beat a s2000 with just an turbo back exhuast, boost controller and a cut air can i know bc i did it last year i launched from 5500 it was over b4 he even got traction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 stock vs. stock the WRX would win modded vs. modded the WRX would win modded WRX vs. my modded S2000 I will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 What do you have on your so called modded s2000??? Give me a list of mods and and your address and tell me you got some cash to throw down and I'll be there to run um'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM_EG6 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 my boys got a black wrx , hes got HKS full titanium exhaust, HKS titanium mid pipe , aem cold air intake, and a hks BVO and ill tell u this much, a s2000 with similar mods wont touch it in the mid or lower end, but top end the WRX is sluggish due to its AWD the arguement is whos faster? plane and simple a WRX will be superior on mid and low end, s2000 will be superior on top end, unless if its a STI wich...comes with variable valve timing heads and alot much more other goodies but .... we all know we dont have that in the state side( did you know the TYPE R does a 0-60 faster then the WRX , and runs a faster 1/4 mile time?
