i was just wondering what kind of performance my scooby will make when i get him back ? lets just say
02 wrx
vf34 turbo
340bhp
wrx 5spd gearbox "standard"

what would you say the 0-60 would be ? also top speed ?
just curious really as sti's are under 5 seconds with under 300 bhp ! cheers

 

Uk STI needs two gearchanges to hit 60, WRX will hit 60 in second.
0-60 is a benchmark used largely by motoring journalists with no mechanical sympathy or thought for repair costs.
To get a sub 5 0-60 would involve dumping the clutch and putting a huge strain on gearbox, diffs, driveshafts, hubs etc.
Why not be content with the way your 340 drives, rather than meaningless pub figures

 

Try this for the 0-60.

Depends on how hard you are willing to drive it off the line tbh.

 

According to that my car will hit 60 in under 3.4 secs.....!!!

If I was brave enough that is, lol.

 

Mine works out at 4.25 not sure how accurate it is though, jdm sti pretty sure I can hit 60 in 2nd though due to higher rev limit, depends how accurate the speedo is
