If you race from a dig and you can launch properly. You'll be good. From a roll I'd also say you should be ok.

from a dig or role? from a dig I think the wrx will get you All wheel drive and if he can drive. From a role at 40mph you should get him

The cobalt with S2 is quicker all around. But from a dig he'll take you from the hole shot!

you are... provided you can drive... a stock wrx is probably pushing about 190 WHP the AWD on those things SUCKS the power

i raced my friends and he pulled me off the line but once i got to about 60 i was right near him and by 100 i had him by 2 cars

SS4EVER

Yeah. That's why I think he should be ok from a dig and a roll if the 05 WRX is stock....

When they are stock and with the drivetrain loss, they aren't that quick surprisingly...

And he's stage 2 so, if he can drive then I see the WRX pulling off the line but that's about it....

yeap i got a few mods and my bros wrx is stock and i eat his ass from a 40 everytime..off the line he mite(will) get u..

If you run an entire 1/4 it could be close, a stock WRX can run a 14.2 to 14.1 stock with a really great driver, and a S2 cobalt can do that as well, but you have to be able to drive it. The WRX will be trapping only mid 94-96 though, so from a roll you should kill it, but from a dig anything shorter then the 1/4 and you would probably lose. For sure you would lose the 1/8 (assuming the WRX can drive).

if i add an injen cold air intake to my car so from a dig can i kill him everytime if i launch properly?

sick_ss/sc

no i dont see it happening...but maybe

If your balt was stock you could take the rex from a roll let alone stage 2, stock WRX's are turds, my prev car was a 03 stage 3 Rex and was a monster with the 20g turbo set up, however when it was stock it was so slow, my best 1/8 mile stock was like a 9.60 and stage 3 was like a 8.70, only took it to the track a few time's, I really dont know what a stock ss/sc cobalt runs in the 1/8 so I have nothin to compare it to but im going to bet you would take him in the 1/8th, I really miss that car this time of the year , how I miss the snow filled parking lots at night

i raced one and i luckily (2nd day i had the car) got a good launch and had the wrx in the middle of 2nd gear so about 40 and put him behind steadily after that...it was a 07 with catback and intake...and all i have is an intake so i think you should be fine!

krazycobalt

I think that you would be okay from a roll, just make sure you are in your power band! BUT if you going from a dig i think that he will have you just because of the AWD! let us know

06SS ALL DAY

LMAOOO my stock balt pwns the hell out of wrx's. i raced one sunday night with a bov, and cat-back i guess... wow soooooo funny. he sure did try though. right when i put it into 3rd. i walked away he was still trailing... i got into 4th murder she wrote.

race em for 50 bucks

Stiner

these threads are so lame just go race him and find out.

if you can drive this is too easy no matter if it's from a dig.

i've beaten them from dig and from a role with the same mods you have. it's too easy.

Here is a video I shot of one of our members (Brianthelion) racing a WRX with a cat-back and intake.

I like Scobys but the couple I have seen at the track have not impressed me. I beat a extensively modded STi with a pooched launch in my truck at the track. I was a .8 off on the 60' and still got him. I must have had my head up my ass at the line.

I would say that a ST2 Balt vs. a stock WRX should be cake. I have street raced a few in the car and always walked on them. (I know there are fast WRX's but I have not encountered one yet)

standard wrx is slow as ***** without extensive modding, only way he could keep with you is to launch it good and hard.

Before getting a car i test drove a saab 92x -basically a wrx with saab looks- they even took 8 grand off for incentive, i then went and test drove a cobalt SS/SC and fell in love. I do wish i had an AWD, but the looks, the power and the handling far exceed the wrx right out of the box.
