08 SS/TC vs 2012 WRX Stage 2

Cobalt SS:

K&N SRI
ZZP Catless
Stock Tune

Subaru WRX:

Cobb Intake
Invidia Catless Downpipe
Accessport/Custom Tuned

*Subie's numbers were not dyno verified, but estimated between 300 & 330. Cobalt did brake boost and NLS (obv. when cobalt starts to fall back and then pull even again).

*Subie's best run at track was somewhere between 12.5 & 12.9 and 105-115 mph (don't remember exactly). Cobalt ran a 13.9 @ 103 mph

There's no way stage 2 traps 115 lmfao. My friend's 2011 wrx stage 2 traps 101-103, though he is running basemaps.


Good runs! That's about what I expected, the 2011 are heavier then you would think. My friend weighed his at 3440 lbs no one in it 1/4 tank!

Nice race! Yeah I am going to race my friend's Stage 2 when I get my t/c ss. He thinks they are all slow pos. I want to woop him at the track too!

There's no way it makes 330 awhp, it's probably 290-300. He would need E85 at least to hit 330.

Don't get me wrong. I don't know his numbers. I just tried to go off what I remembered. I know he was in the 12s maybe he was around 105 then. But yeah let me know how that goes, post a vid or two! Haha

for reference my TC 09' coupe with catless and GM stage 1 took a 2010 if I remember right Sti with just an intake at the strip.....its a little scary at first because they launch so hard and you have to make up like 5 car lengths. But I had him by 2 or 3 at the quarter.

My buddy with a wrx won't race me. I took him for a ride a while back after I got retuned. He flat out told me your car is faster no point.

I figured you'd pull him. I raced one the other day and beat him bad from a dig. Good race though!

Yeah, I thought so too. I'm not tuned though. He's got one of the best tuners around tuning his car. His buddy is almost to the fastest Stock Turbo STI in the nation. So he has a great tune vs my crappy stock one. Don't worry, when I'm HPT (1-2 months) it will be a totally different story.

What year is his? Older bug-eye ones I usually don't have any problem beating. New ones with a good tune are another story though.

The Cobb Accessport Stage 2 does 265-275ish awhp running basemaps, 290-300 with protune tops.

The 2011+ weighs 3300-3400 lbs.

Blouch TD06-20GXT
Process West TMIC
COBB Downpipe
ID1000cc Injectors
DW65c Fuel Pump

His is an 09 also. Stock tune but full exhaust and a intake.

That was a good race OP

A friend of mine has an 11 wrx with full exhaust, air intake, and cobb tune. I will say the car feels pretty damn strong. I'd give it a solid 12 second pass at 106-108mph at an east coast sea level track.

From a higher roll my 08 with a tune/full bolt-on's would probably win if we raced. A dig or low first gear roll his wrx would have ate me up.
