optyks Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 That the other day at the subie dealer, i took out an 08 LGT and i was racing against an 08 WRX, yet the wrx was probably about a half second faster? I had the LGT in S#, shifted damn near redline, and knew how to launch her decently.. What gives? I thought the 08 WRXs still had the 224 horses? If so, is it the extra "luxury" weight in the LGT that made her a bit slower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cseagle08 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 probably. gear ratios could be different as well, i dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 IBTL..... And if I'm not mistaken the 2008 WRX puts down 265hp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT Dave Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ^^^ They upped the hp to 265 in the '09 WRX. '08 was 224hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 oh my. The LGT wasn't warmed up properly, obviously. Throw some octane boost in the gas tank and wait 5 minutes warming at idle. Then race him for pinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Also make sure to do your street racing in a school zone, that way he may back off and you'll win. IBTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryq89 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 maybe it was ken block driving the rex? LOL ibtl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm really surly now that I'm watching hockey highlights on how the Canucks sucked in the playoffs. So, OP, I'll close this now to avoid more ridicule for you going into the weekend. If you are clever you will make a new thread and not mention street racing in it. Yes, I know you were racing that WRX on the street. I had a webcam set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
