I don't know what a WRX is but I'll bet if you sold me one for 12k in the bazaar I could sell it to a druid for 15k!
And um...
Why did that guy lose control over his vehicle? Were his hands at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock? I'm not sure even the tinting was legal, sir.
In all due respect, perhaps you should ask the authorities to have a talk with him.

"something you wont see a WRX do"
yeah, because obviously the quality that most people look for in their cars is enough jacked up torque to pull a wheelie

i'm just as impressed by a performance machine as the next guy, my confused little friend. planes, trains, ships and automobiles, anything that flies, floats or zips along. there's a fine line between whats "cool" and whats "stupid" though, and each person draws that somewhere different.
just because i dont go "omfg cool" and slobber over myself when i see a car doing a wheelie doesnt mean your penis is bigger than mine. actually, wait, i just figured something out. your penis is bigger than mine. there. lets settle that right now, so you can come off your little trip and we can finally have a mature, logical, meaningful discussion. that's probably what your entire problem with me is, your nagging insecurities about yourself manifesting themselves as misguided anger towards anyone or anything that you perceive as a threat. you can tuck your gargantuan member back into your pants now, it's been getting in the way of rational thought for far too long.

the cars nasty fast and hes squeezing it right out of the start.
Some day maybe I throw in a huge N2O system and a Trans brake and see what kinda parts I can break

When was the last time you saw an all wheel drive car do a wheelstand? It's not that hard to put enough torque in the back wheels to pull wheel stands, in fact i know high school students who can afford that. And btw, thats not a stock camaro so what are you trying to say?

I'm saying you won't ever see a WRX do that. You DID read the title, right?
Besides, it only takes $3-4000 in add ons to get a camero or mustang into the 9's and do wheelies. I wonder what it'd take to get a WRX to do that.

i also found it pretty f*****g humorous that he was comparing an AWD to a RWD car in one category where it's basically impossible to duplicate. that's kireol for ya though ;)

Actually it was b*****d who first brought up comparing the 2.
But faerdal can't hold a thought longer than....well, he just can't hold a thought period.

Lol, thinking you can wheelie a 4x4. Stupid Kireol.
Look, a WRX is so much better than any American muscle car that it just isn't funny. Remember this is basically a family saloon but it is competitive against these straight up fast cars yet when you introduce *corners* it totally blows them away!

Eduin

1) You aren't american, you couldn't in your wildest dreams understand drag racing and cars do the degree we do. You aren't on our level.
2) I never said anything about making a 4X4 do wheelies (which they CAN do SPED).....I was talking about a WRX which is an all wheel drive car, and modding it to do wheelies (which is possible you SPED) and how much that would cost
3) 4X4 is NOT the same as all wheel drive you SPED
4) U = SPED
that is all

Actually Kireol. their is a drag circuit for import tunar cars. and they have run low 8's high 7's which compares to most american muscle cars no the quarter. The only way you would get an all wheel drive car to do wheel stands is to regear it to put a great majority of its torque to the back wheels, when in all reality why would i want to wheel stand and create more wind resistance when i can stay all 4on the ground without spinning and blow you off the line?

Oh, it's not f*****g hard to understand the inane stupidity of quarter mile racing. It's basically "dumbing down" of motor sport so Americans can understand it.
Quarter mile racing is the utter bottom of the food chain. The scum of motor sport, hell that shite makes Oval Racing look interesting!

Ignorant fuckwit. Not everyone uses the same terminology as you dumb Seppos. Elsehwere in the world, the term 4x4 and AWD are interchangable.

b*****d. I never said it wasn't possible.
AND
FYI,
1) wheel stands are an art form. There are competitions for them, like anything else in this world.
2) They make wheelie bars which cars that fast generally use.
3) lifting the car and wind resistance at the point the cars doing a wheelie (mostly 60ft area) is so negligable it's ridiculous. wind resistance at that speed is NOTHING.
That being said, you do NOT want your car to do a wheelie when going for fastest time for the fact the force that's going into lifting the car, could have been spent pushing the car forward. That's why they make wheelie bars.
and 4) my brothers car (pictured) runs 7.37 in the 1/4 mile and weighs twice as much. show me a non sponsered AWD that runs that fast =)

I believe your title for this thread was "Something you won't ever see a WRX do", closely followed by a link of a Camaro flapping around in all its retarded glory. WRX --- Camaro.
I failed 2nd grade three times, but I'm pretty sure I know a "comparison" when I see one.

Well thanks for finally referring me to a completely different thread, while previously assuming that I've read it and understood where this one came from. If you're going to start a new f*****g thread to respond to something written elsewhere on the board, dont assume that everyone else is cognizant of the link between the two. God I hate you, Kenny.

If it was obviously directed at another post, I would have gone looking for one. You've been posting all over car related threads all the time, you gave me no reason to think that I had to go back and try to find some specific one that you were making blind references to.

What do you consider serious drag racing?
I havent draged my car in a few years but I can send you 3 hours of video tapes from the 5 years of me racing and competing here http://www.dragway.com/
the fact is today $$$$ controls how fast you go. period.
if I gave you a running Import and joe blow over there a running 70s muscle car and locked you both up in seprate garages for a month with no money but all the tools you need. The import would maybe go 1 second faster in the quarter mile tops.
the 70's mucsle car would easy go 3-4 seconds faster not to mention it would be faster to start with.
as for the all wheel drive not doing a wheely well there was a 77 4x4 ford bronco full size at lebanon valley dragway in the early 90's that wheelied easy a foot or so. it wasnt that fast but it was funny to see and would give a 90's mustang 5.0 a run for it money.
now back to the topic.
Everyone and there grandma has or knows someone who has a 8 second or quicker car today. It makes me laugh, cause the end of last year I went to street import night at lebanon valley and watched 4 hours worth of imports run with turbos and nitrous and everything else they could afford.
most of the cars looked like the Fast and the furious cars, awesome paint loud ect. but the truth was only one car there would of beat my car and the funny thing was it was a 1970 chevelle running 10.78 yeah 10.78.
my car ran a best of 10.96@121 most 80% of the imports where in the low Teens and 15% where in the 12's the last 5% where in the high 11's.
My point? yes theres some really nasty Imports out there, but you do realise theres a few givaways to how fast a car really is.....
let me clue you in on a few.
Roll Cages required on all cars running 10.99 or faster than 135mph. - One exception: full bodied cars running between 10.00 and 10.99, with unaltered firewalls, floor and body (from firewall rearward - wheel tubes permitted) can compete with just a roll bar.
A quick-release, 3-inch shoulder harness meeting SFI Spec 16.1, including crotch strap, is mandatory in all cars in competition required by the rules to have a roll bar or a roll cage. Driver restraint system must be clearly labeled as meeting SFI Spec 16.1 and be dated by manufacturer. System must be updated at two-year intervals from date of manufacture. All seat belt and shoulder harness installations must be mutually compatible
now heres the Kicker...
A NHRA license is required for all vehicles running 9.99 seconds (6.39 for 1/8 mile) or quicker.
A NHRA license is also required for drivers of all vehicles in Pro RWD and Pro FWD regardless of actual e.t.. In addition, licensed drivers will be issued a non-transferable competition number.
How do I get a competition license? There are a few simple steps to obtaining an NHRA competition license. First will need an NHRA approved physical examination. You family doctor or walk-in clinic can provide this. You need to use the proper NHRA approved form which is available at your local track or from the NHRA Division office, or check NHRA online at http://www.nhra.com/contacts/index.html
Secondly, you must pass a blindfold test in your race car - knowing where all controls and switches are without looking for them.
Finally you will need to make a total of six test runs and have those runs witnessed by two drivers who are currently licensed in the class for which you are applying, (or a faster class) and the track official. During the first three runs, a new driver is required to make one half pass and two moderate runs. During the last three runs, one moderate and two full runs are required. Original time slips from all six runs must be attached to the license application. All test runs must be single (non-competition) runs. Further details on the NHRA licensing procedure are printed on the back of the official NHRA Competition License Application.
It takes a lot of track time to go into the 11's never mind the Tuning and effort to go in the 10's, 9's or 8's. let alone 7's which By then you would have a full NHRA compitition drag car.
I Think I made my point.

Im sorry if I come across ass a ass but I find it hard to believe that car runs 7.37 , I mean I could be wrong but to me it looks like a mid 9 sec car.

You have? You seem to be implying that anyone without an NHRA competition license cannot own a car capable of a sub 10 second quarter mile.
That is b******t.
And again, quarter mile racnig is f*****g pathetic, worthless crap.

Actually, in order to run sub 10's ie in the 9 second range you are required to obtain an NHRA license or else you won't be allowed to run at any sanctioned track =) I believe the IHRA is the same way.
