Stock WRX races...

Alright, so as some of y'all may know, I'm most likely gonna end up with a Subaru WRX impreza. I own a Toyota Celica GT-S right now and I'm tired of how slow it is.
The reason I wanted to go with the WRX is becuase its an AWD with the ability to upgrade the turbo (has potential). I was wondering, for a stock WRX, what cars can it beat (at a drag strip)? I heard that stock for stock, the SRT-4 will win. Thanks.

Please get the SRT-4. The WRX/STi lines are rally cars, not drag cars. When you get shredded by a mildly modded CRX, don't come crying to us.

knowing what car's u can and cant beat is not only the car..but the DRIVER...you can have a stock wrx and another guy with a modded one..if you can drive and he doesnt know how you'll win...you wont win always but no one ever win's all races..you'll eventually lose...remember your not the only one thinking if he can beat the next guy...take care
