[QUOTE=agphotography]no no see it gets even worse, i had the 2000, which in that year had 150bhp so its even slower! the torque does come in nice and strong at 1800 rpm and i did have the 5spd manual, but it does just run out of steam, especially in the tiptronic. i mean im not going to say i didnt like it. i LOVED that car, and it saved my life twice. but by comparison, the wrx is phenominally faster.[/QUOTE]

Ah, yes, 150 hp and about 3300 lbs doesn't go well together. :)

I did it with a gtech at 4.85
I have cobb stg 2 and invivia catless tbe

lol look what edmunds is saying about the 06 wrx stock 0-60mph times:

Performance
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.72 sec.

yeah right! they must be talking about the RS ;)

nice numbers, kn0bby8!

Btw, Are you experiencing any boost creep related issues? Engine shutting off? etc???

My launch where i was getting 5.2 and 5.3's was done two different ways, both wree close in times, but i prefer the second way. The first way was to hold it at 5 and dump it, the second way was to hold it at about 3-3.500 so it was on full boost and feather it out quickly. if you try the first way and shooot too hight on the rpm's or slip the clutch a little you are going to end up with wheels spin, the second way is a lot easier on the car, but you have to be quick with you feet.

i believe 6.00

6 seconds??? ^ thats actually slower than the previous 2.0 ?

hmm what i read its 5.7-5.8secs. but i havent aactually tried
