That's because 90% of 'modified' WRX's have a catback exhaust and a pod filter..

I did the WRX scene.. It's full of boasters and posers..

Actually I still love the WRX.. I'd own one again in a heartbeat.. Got my heart set on a 2015 STi with lux pack..

Admittedly the dollars that went into fixing it and making it fast were farking ridiculous..

While I loved the XR6T's pull, I actually think the WRX was a much more 'fun' car to commute in daily.. (that's not saying the 6T wasn't fun, I just think the WRX was funner if you catch my drift).

When I owned one it was good because I knew a few blokes with them, knew a couple fellas with Integra type R's (Vtec YO!) and one bloke with an Evo.. But the wider world of people in those cars turned me off ever attempting to get involved with them to the level I participate on this forum.. I would stalk the forums and rarely find the information I needed because they were 99% full of sh*t..

Plus my WRX was cop bait.. Actually I think most of them are..

XR6T is faster for sure..

XR6T more practical..

XR6T more comfortable on highway trips.

XR6T sedans can fit grown ups in the back..

XR6T was better on fuel..

XR6T preferred by wife..

XR6T didn't seem to break as easy..

WRX have me a harder morning wood..

Personal choice..

Mate of mine owns the second newest model of STi, took it to racewars (stock) last year and his comment was along the lines of "Surely I can't be the SLOWEST car here???" poor bloke.

Meanwhile I chopped a bunch of cars (SS, GTi-R, Audi S5, Supra, I forget the rest) and got chopped by a few 600hp+ monsters (32GTR and nitrous sipping Monaro). Can't wait to go again next year, gotta save my pennies.

Outright second place went to a red Subary Liberty though...like a 90's one too hahaha.

800m head to head in a straight line baby! Most fun I've had with my pants on.

PS pants off for weight reduction :turboboink:

One of the things that comes to mind about loosing traction at 60km/h (Sct911) is that this is being done in a ute, with little weight at the back. Both yourself and I have sedans. This means that there is more weight at the back and more traction. I reckon it could also be the tune and how the boost comes on and the amount of torque at play.

That being said, I think the biggest issue may be the drivers. I dont know you personally, so I cant judge you, but I do know that when I loose traction on the roads, my butt hole tends to do a lot of exercise trying to keep control of the car.

This is due to the lack of experience driving a performance car.

I really wish that Perth had skidpan days where we could learn to drift in the wet, in a safe and controlled environment.

Then we may have better controll of the car at 60km/h.

Utes have more weight over the rear than sedans. The suspension makes them tail happy, not the weight.
