well the WRX could of been an auto, those things drag ___. The 5spd Tc runs circles around an auto base modle wrx.
My cousin has an auto WRX (yes they do make em, don't ask me why) and when u lay into it it doesn't step out at all. by the time the boost kicks in, the auto shifts to the next gear. so i would believe him rompen on a auto wrx aka sissy boy POS waste of a good car.

I have been researching cars for a hwile.. not sre what i wanna get but i'm DEFINATELY leaning towards a tC...
IF I remember correctly...
2.5 RS
Top speed governed - appx 120-125
WRX
Top speed governed - appx 130-140ish
More than likely he had a 2.5 RS... if it was the bodystyle before the 'bugeye' headlights... it was a 2.5 RS (Subaru gave japan the WRX ONLY before 2001). If it was bugeye or "kia"ish headlights... it was either 2.5 or WRX. IF it was WRX he suxxors. I love the tC and all but... WRX should SMOKE you no ?'s. If he was badged WRX congrats, good kill, and if not... he lost cuz his tranny's geared very tightly (for accel not speed)

the only thing worse would be to kill someone else while driving like a maniac. that i don't know how anyone could live with. we should all enjoy our cars... but keep it civil, or turn in your license.

It's a tragic waste of life, though terribly irresponsible. If they had hit a family driving across one of those intersections, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

Racing is one thing... racing around people = stupid idea.
Guys, leave it for the track or at least a deserted back road with no exits/entrances
Me and my buddies have a road about 3-4mi. long of straight nothing... just fields that you can see into for about 100ft. we have one guy park at one end, one guy park at the other, and if a car comes, we stop. simple as that. if anyone gets hurt its us and thats it.. we'd never drag anyone else into it
Also... even doing that is stupid because EMT's aren't readily available so if something *did* go wrong, we'd be fuxxed

Yeah...so my friend has a wrx... Me and him went to the drag strip...my 1/4 mile was 17.2 and his was 13.9 with just a blitz drop in filter and turboxs exhaust... A stock tC should be able to do 16.1 with flawless shifting...

Yah those WRXs are fast as hell. I was going in my old car about 45 and the WRX was stopped at a red light. I saw the light changing to green so I decided to not slow down and blast past him. So here I am going 45 and as soon as I get like 5 feet behind him (different lane) he takes off and whizzes past me, I couldn't even catch up.
#36
Well, sounds like the WRX didnt want to play. But, you still showed him. I do know though, that the WRX does go 140 just fine...why do i know that? Cause the highways to New Mexico are long, straight, and empty.

You have a automatic Scion TC right? There is a big difference between the aggressively geared ratio 5 speed and the automatic. The Camry is heavier but still still gets better gas mileage than the Scion TC. Wonder why?
here is what a former WRX owner said about the Scion TC in these forums.

the top end is quicker than my WRX....seriously
it might not get to 60 in 5.9 seconds, but i bet it can hold it's own in 50-70 with a wrx
