RE: ripped an 03 Subaru WRX
not sure about turbo size, but the wrx comes with a 2.0l turbo and the sti is a 2.5l turbo...if that helps. sti also has some kick *** power distribution toggles...you can change the power distribution from front to back to 50/50 with a cool little rolly switch.

RE: ripped an 03 Subaru WRX
I love tc's because the drivers think they're the fastest on the road.
However, that car is a pretty good deal considering what it has in the cabin.
Anyway, I just ran the WRX vs. STi on google and they do have different turbos.
WRX has the TD04 and STi adopts the VF37 which is bigger than the TD04.
In that case, it makes sense how a 2.5 with bigger turbo is way faster than a 2.0 with smaller turbo.

RE: ripped an 03 Subaru WRX
I was in our university and raced a Mitsubishi lancer, gave him a whooping because its nothing but turns around here on snow. The drifting on corners in the middle of the night was wicked, and the little guy really didnt know how to work the 4wd properly.
I did the same to a subaru impreza (might I add, both these cars looked like they could hold their own, not a grandmas car) but our race just turned out to be a really cool way to show off infront of the girls than determining a clear winner.
Rally racing is a 15- 20 second charge, best way to pass the time ever.
Note- Ive randomly raced a bunch of people and now my rear hub bearings are worn to ****. Need replacing ASAP and its an Audi.... expensive.....

Lol! This story I have is nothing, but lastnight a dude in a Scion tC started revving his engine at me for no apparent reason. Maybe because my girlfriend was in the car? I was like wow, and as some of you know I got my car APR flashed yesterday so I just had to do it.. I knew for a fact tCs only had 160HP stock, so I just wanted to see...
At first I just took off on the street, I hit 70 and pretty much dusted him so I thought it was over and just slowed down.. Then he started trying to catch up, and got next to me.. I was like jesus, this guy doesnt learn! So I just took off again, you could really hear him trying to catch up again, like his car was squeeling (didn't know how to drive it ors omething).. But you know what? He just couldn't compete. =]

I don't get how tc has a 2.4 engine but it's only putting out 160 HP.
Shouldn't the supercharged one considered as a beast?
It's almost the same engine size as the STi!
