Funked:New WRX in the neighborhood

[FUNKED1]

PS Be wary of the Forester XT.  C/D did a 13.8 sec 1/4 mile.  It's not your father's station wagon LOL.

     Chrysler Sebring? If you're stock, you're toast. What do those run the 1/4 in? The hp ratings I've seen are 200 stock. Unless you've done a bunch of mods to your car, you are definately toast. A stock Sebring would be lucky to get in the low 16s.

WoW way off mate,  I wish the Sebring came with 200 HP STOCK,  its more like 170 HP and around 145 at the wheel..  Pretty sad actually..   The quarter mile for it is High 17  lmao..

But no MY sebring is exceptionally well modded,  upwards of 20-25k ..  Thats including Kits,  interior modifications,  Engine work, etc..

Sorry Funked, he's not home yet. Those McDonald execs work long hours.

That's the one I'm talking about. The guy at the track that day couldn't break out of the high 15s. I've raced one before and he got me off the line, but that was about it. GTPs have really good low-mid range and they pull a ton when the S.C. kicks in.

     The specs coming out of some mag is that it turns mid-13s in the 1/4. I could beat the old WRX model, but not this one. Of course, it always comes down to the driver in the end.

Supercharged is the way to go!



(2000 GP GTP with some mods. Haven't lost to a ricer yet)

Wouldn't turn mid 13's if you shot it out out a cannon....the only thing I'd be curious about is if it hit a possum' which one would die first.

Good job with the mods Stony

Weasel, I didn't post that!

IIRC, WT's car is pretty far from 'stock.'  The friggen thing doesnt even look like the car its based off of anymore.

Ok, you spent a bunch of money on your car, but what kind of performance do you have?  1/4 mile time & speed at the gate?

A rear wing is not just to allow power to get to the ground on a car that drives the rear wheels.  Most cars have the problem of rear lift above 50mph (just ask Audi TT owners before the Kamm Spoiler was added in a recall).  For a FWD car, with a huge front weight bias, that lift just makes the back-end more squirly in a turn.  A rear wing adds downforce and give some stability back.

I always liked sebrings(good lookin car imho)... but hate front wheel drive cars... aren't Sebrings front wheel drive?

[Chairboy]

Yep.
