Yesterday my buddy and I met up at Starbucks to show each other our "new to us" cars. He has a 2006 WRX with an intake, turbo-back exhaust, and a chip/tune (all Cobb parts, I believe). He claims he ran an 11.5 at around 110 a few months ago. I called complete BS, but he insisted that since he launched it perfectly and powershifted the whole way that it wasn't an unreasonable claim. What do you guys think..is this even possible?
2006 WRX really this fast?
- Thread starter 2k3gt
- Start date
Bs.
no
With an aftermarket turbine maybe.
With an intake, exhaust, chip and tune?
It doesn't sound realistic to me.
They aren't that fast up top at all.
Always easy pickin's on the highway unless they are modded up well.

Massive pile of bullshit!
sounds like cockga
that sounds like a low 14 high 13 second car
Thats what they run stock.
+1. I'm guessing with his mods that he's in the low 13 range :shrug:
unless the dragstrip was vertically downwards
at which it would be assisted by the 9.81 m/s^2 acceleration of gravity
..i call BS

:lol:
You should race him and see. You might be able to see him break the glass tranny.
I don't think an STi with those mods could run 11s

2002-2003's have the glass tranny. The 2006 is fairly strong.
There is no way that he could achieve those times, short of launching his car out of a slingshot at the line. I would even venture as far to say that he would be a very lucky man to break into the 12's with that car.

I highly doubt it would as well. This hurts me to say this because i am a subaru fanatic. It is the truth though.
11.5 with a 110 trap????? no way dude. He'd have to be cutting some gnarly 60' times.

his trap speed is way low for his time. He should be somewhere around 125ish. This is from the subaru regsitry.

Was it on a trailer behind a 10 second Lightning?
