Nahhhhhhhhhh, gotta love that AWD system. FWD just sucks, period. You would
need at least 80-100hp more than the WRX to catch it in the 1/4 mile! 1.6-1.7
60ft times are not uncommon on these cars. That's a huge advantage! And,
4-wheel drifting around a corner at 60 plus mph will change your mind in a
hurry. The *total* driving experience in the WRX is like non other. Nothing
like dusting thy neighbor in a 4 door sedan...hehehe. Change out the wheels
and tires with 17"s and the handling is outright incredible. Those 16s and
205/55-16s suck (lots of sidewall deflection).
