LOL! Yeah his times are pretty similar to mine. His 60' is better, but he traps low.

The only 2 WRX owners from Tucson that I know that run 12's spent $10000, his name is Jimmy and he drives a WRX automatic with a 2.5L STI engine, plus Aquamist plus a HKS turbokit.
The other owner that runs 12's on the WRX wagon spent more than $15000 and has a 2.35l stroker kit plus NOS, plus aquamist,plus turbokit.

Interesting, I start reading on Stealth-wrx and I noticed that there was nothing on NASIOC saying that he ran low 12's on stock turbo. I did a search up to his first post back in 04 but did not find anything.

I found though that there is a Stealth -WRX that made 536whp, is this the same guy? Regardless of that, could you please copy and paste the post in which you claim that he ran low 12's on stock turbo and basic bolt ons?

haha ive only been to SIR 2 times in the last 2 years and i know who you guys are talking about! lol 12 flat in a non Sti WRX with the stock turbo? i would think that'd need more than a 50 shot and a LOT of weight savings and one helluva driver

^^Hi Tim^^.
Fullyspooled,
I don't like to argue with people much, I simply ask for proof. I normally back up all my claims(pictures,witnesses,video,receipts,dynos, you name it)
I did a extensive search on Stealth-WRX on NASIOC. I have been a member of NASIOC for about 4 years and never heard of anyone running low 12's on a WRX with such basic mods including a stock turbo. If that ever happened I am not arguing it I am just asking to elaborate more and above anything I would like to congratulate that possible WRX driver for achieving the imposible. Back in the day there was only one shop that broke into the 12's on stock turbo QTP shop from Canada.
This Stealth-wrx dude as far as I am aware he already spent $15000 plus on that WRX. Please show me a guy running 12's on stock turbo WRX consitently on a low budget. That is all I am asking. If you bring a subject up then back it up.

True facts of Tucson at SIR :
only 3 WRXs ever in the 13's (High 13's) on stock turbo
Only 2 WRX's in the mid 12's both aquamist,STI block/stroker kit,turbokit and NOS
Only 2 STI's with mods ever in the high 13's Rob (Fastrob) and Kristensen
I understand you are proud of the Subaru but I have a different view, I think the 02-03 was an underachiever car that ruined many families financially and ruined many owners ambicions of a performance car due to unsatisfactory performance results.

WRXs with nothing more than a turbo-back exhaust and downpipe, plus a Stage 2 ECU tune (Cobb) are putting out 250+ whp, and they also weigh no more than about 3100 lbs. I've seen custom-tuned WRXs with the above mods putting out around 260-275 whp before.
Evos are putting out about 230 whp stock and weigh about 3300 lbs.

Not to mention, I find it hard to believe that a stock-turboed WRX ran a 12.0. With N2O, it's believable, but I wouldn't expect that car to last very long....at least the transmission, anyway.

The 02-03 WRX have notoriusly fragile trannys. The design of the tranny has a horizontal lengtht wise split that has a tendency to flex under hard acceleration putting huges amounts of stress on all the internals gears.
Ironically a WRX with a up-pipe,full turboback,CAI, MBC and a tune gives you a decent reliable combo of performance,affordability and reliability. I can tell you that many WRX owners are very happy with their WRX with the mods I mentioned above, the car responds very well to such mods and it also optimizes the stock turbo and injectors.
Definately I am not here to ruin your day but the 420whp on a WRX is unrealistic unless you dump close to 5 digit $$$$$.

I'm glad the STi transmission isn't built the same way!It's initially not too expensive to get some nice performance out of the WRX but once you really get into modding, things get costly very quickly. And you're right, 420 hp is going to cost near 5 digits.....not cool.

I always thought they weighed more for some reason. Maybe I was thinking of the STi.

Well I was selling my Evo 5 RS, pretty much stock low miles but no one wanted it! I asked 15 for it negociable! I live in the carribbean so it wouldn't be to much of a problem to ship. Anyways, I have a good friend in Miami, Fl. Who had a Rex. He claims he had 350 hps to the wheels! On about 7 grand of parts! They way you guys are talking, sounds like he would need double that.
