Can anyone beat a stock WRX?

With 400+whp on some guys rigs in this forum, has anyone recorded 0-60 in less than 5.6s? Is that a ridiculous proposition?


Edit: the 1/4 mile for a Subaru is 14s and dragtimes.com lists several Tacoma’s below that time but I wonder how modded they are…

 

I can tow way more than a WRX

 

according to my calculations you can tow approximately 1.85 Subaru's

 

performance race cars have a difficult time of simply getting HP to the ground to move foward

most could do better without the shock + wheel hop

with little weight in a taco/tundra read end ( wrx dont weigh much )

0-60 + wheel hop

why bother

 

Interesting take. Hadn’t considered that. Some guys do 4wd launches but for a 13s time that’s like 100mph in 4wd…

 

in recent years every1 has been relating 0-60 times

actaully for many vehicles just a few car lengths

when cars started getting single digit times

its obvious its ALL About Traction

some have broken pinions

half shafts

shaved teeth of ring gears

peeled splines off axle shafts

some cars have ‘ Electronic “ Launch systems................to prevent damage

1 such system actually indicates ONLY so many tries b4 U ‘ write the check ‘ !!!!!

 

Id almost certainly get waxed but I'd give it a shot

 

Maybe @Torspd has some drag times?
I know he is running a built engine.
The problem will be traction, the WRX is going to have an advantage.

There are some guys well in the 400+ hp range.

With my tall gearing and ragged transmission, I was able to get this. Speedo is 12% slow.

I have the utmost confidence that F/I auto trans, in 4wd or AWD definitely would be close or would.

 

That’s awesome, thanks!

 

I have some dragtimes times in my '01 SBDC and my old 95 4runner but they're in the 1/8 mile sections. My 01 truck goes 7.6 in the 1/8th and will demolish WRXs. However same car will wax me on the street stoplight to stoplight.

 

My very stock and very slow bike with a barely mediocre rider does about 3.5-4.5 seconds 0-60 I think, so yes?

 

my body and soul are ready for a bike

 

It’s much more enjoyable that trying to make something with 4 wheels fun ha.
