faster in the corners???
Just a note for all of the coments about how a wrx is sooo much faster in the corners. I drive a subaru, and I love it, but as good as they do in the corners, for the last 6-months we've taken a back seat to a 99 cobra at the autocross events.
Any well built car has the capability of doing many impresive things, wether it be runing fast in a straight line, or doing 40 through a 180 degree corner in a parking lot at your local scca event. It all comes down to whats in-between the seat and the steering wheel

faster in the corners
In all reality this thread was supposed to be posted in cars faster than a wrx. I hit new thread rather than post reply, and posted before I realized it. My intentions weren't to say that the mustang is a better car than the wrx, but if you notice in cars faster than a wrx there are various replies of how much faster a wrx is than a mustang through corners, and canyons etc. My point is to say, that a mustang (which wheighs 3273 compared to a wrx's 3080) can be just as fast through the corners with the right driver behind the wheel. The mustang is a well built car, as well as many other domestics. I feel that a car enthusiast should respect a car for how it is built, not where it is built. That is all I was trying to point out.

im a canyon carver type and been driving around a 98 prelude
with TEIN HA's and front/rear strut bars. on that car as soon
as i put on some sticky dunlop SP8000 tires (were the thing
next to the AVS Sports back then) with this setup, i could take
on some of the fastest cars like M3's 300ZX, Vettes, Boxters,
etc through the canyons without much hesitation (until
we hit a straight).
when i bought my wrx (i still have my 98 prelude) from all
the hype, i thought this was the true machine...but as soon
as i took the first turn, damn it understeered worse than
maybe a corolla!
hahaha. so i got the same TEIN HA's and
some decent 17in wheels/tires...improved greatly, but still
sloppy steering. then Cusco front and rear tower bars...better.
then whiteline rear sway bar (22mm) and vivid endlinks. wow,
much better...then S03 tires in 225/45/17 size on SSR Comps...
but still not as quick as my Prelude... then yesterday, I put
on a Momo Corse steering wheel. walla! much much better.
i am very pleased on how it corners now...but i think it is still
neck and neck with the Prelude and can not pass it.
