Re:A WRX does not beat a Camaro SS (Score 0)

Whose excited. I was in agreement with you about trying to compare a modified camaro to a stock wrx. That's not fair. The suspension upgrades I mentioned are/were available from the factory, so I do consider them stock. There were two levels above the comfort zone. You can go way over the top with aftermarket, but I wasn't talking about that. Personally, I rate the wrx as thee sport compact car. It's the poster child for a small engine ( turbo ) in a smaller car, awd and all. No one can deny the performance. I stand by my assessment that those two cars are very comparable, except the SS gets a little bit better fuel mileage 19/28mpg, which is due to those really long gears!!! At WOT the 1-2 shift is at 50mph. That's why the first aftermarket upgrade is lower gears. BTW the 2001 and 2002 SS models have very different performance data. My car (2002) is completely untouched from the factory...for now.
