I am having some difficulty with this here,
a friend of mine has a 2003 WRX with BPU upgrades, and will shortly have a STi turbocharger.. He should be seeing 290-300 crank hp, and he says the overall goal is 300AWHP....
Unfortunately for me, unlike most ricers, he is not full of ~~~~~. He works at a small performance shop called EDO performance in huntington beach.
My thunderbird SC actually stood a fighting chance against the car in stock form because at the time, he couldn't launch, and I could... but my SC 5-speed is long dead.
In short, in order to take the car, I need MORE POWER, CAPTAIN!
It would take at LEAST 400hp in an MN12 to beat him at this point. So I need something newer, lighter, more powerful than an MN12.
What will it take to beat this car??
Can it be done for under 20k??
(assuming you buy a car as it sits, not hot it up.. with 20gs my LX would be pi'd, 6-spd, and supercharged)
I was thinking AUDI S4 Biturbo... ...for the power to weight ratio, there is almost nothing I can think of that can beat the sonofab!tch.
Specs:
2003 Subaru WRX
3085lbs
300hp
250-ish tq.
5-speed
