Destroying a WRX
Looking for advice. Raced a 2015 WRX on a CLOSED course today. Small but private area WRX owner has. It's a Cobb Stage 2 with full suspension. Went from a 20 roll. I spun and his AWD got the lead. My car's nose was glued next to his rear fender the whole way to 75mph at which point we let off for lack of room but I was starting to pull him a bit. If we had room for more I believe I would have taken him. My mods are in my sig. Any drivers tips for taking these newer turbo 4s would be appreciated. I don't feel I did bad but at the same time I would love to have a bigger stretch of space to really see. Thanks.

Re: Destroying a WRX
the AWD is what go you, if youre not already running one a big sticky DR would be my suggestion
...or just hit him with a 100 shot

Re: Destroying a WRX
That sounds about right, if both are auto, not sure on weight differences but power wise you'r making probably close to the same power.

Re: Destroying a WRX
The Rex was a manual. It was making good power and running rich I'd say, if the flames it was shooting mean anything.

Re: Destroying a WRX
final? your just getting your feet wet. Match that 4R70 with a nice Stall.. Longtubes, cobra cams and stall and thats probably not a race..

Re: Destroying a WRX
Haha I wish. As tempting as they might be I can't deal with the smog issues I'll have with cams and lts. A stall might be in my future tho...

Re: Destroying a WRX
Cobra cams are smog legal they are a Factory ford camshaft,throw a stall and some 410s with drag radials and give him the gap

Re: Destroying a WRX
I had no idea but that does make sense I guess I always assumed that it would be a situation like how the Boss 302 manifold is legal on a 12 Boss but won't pass smog on any GT. I'm unfamiliar with which year of cobra cams are best. Any suggestions?

Re: Destroying a WRX
96-98 Cobra intake cams have more duration and are good for 20 whp over stock Mach1 intake cams. The exhaust cams are the same.
