Whats Faster XR6 or WRX
Jack
up against the mighty Falcon Xr6?
The Interceptor
since the XR6 has a stock 6 pot, same as the taxi spec.
0 to 400 metre times:
XR6: 15.86 sec
XR6 Turbo: 14.14 sec
WRX: 14.01 sec
WRX STi: 13.62 sec

tons (as opposed to tonnes) are a fuzzy measure anyway ;)

In normal driving? the XR6.
In a clutch frying, engine howling launch off the line? The WRX.

Not if it's a n/a XR6, the WRX would walk all over that. If
it's a turbo XR6, it'd probably come down to the driver;
there ain't that much between 'em.

I've heard anecdotally and otherwise that the WRX is pretty sluggish if you
take-off in a "normal" manner, as the performance is pretty flat below
3000rpm. I doubt most WRX drivers launch with more than 3000rpm on the
clock in normal driving.

The MY03 has fixed a fair bit of that; it'll partially be
the variable valve timing, and I believe the MY02 had a cat
before the turbo or something stupid like that, so putting
the cat where it's supposed to be would have to help reduce lag.
Having owned a Liberty RS (which had much more lag), I have
no doubt that the WRX would beat the n/a XR6 unless the WRX
driver was completely asleep. :) Oh, to dispell a myth, the
performance isn't all that bad under 3000rpm as such, the
problem is lag - ie. you notice it takes a while to get on
boost at a set of lights, but it still pulls strongly &
solidly up a hill at 2200rpm on the highway.

A friend has a stock WRX and during initial acceleration my manual XR6
will keep level for roughly the equiv. of an intersection then he runs
away, thats with him using reasonable mechanical sympathy (already
broke 2 transmissions), if he did a balls out run i'd win hands down
while he collected his transmission bits off the road :)
In the wet he runs away and hides.

Only 'cos he's scared of his gearbox blowing up? :)

Exactly, but in the wet, he can be a little more brutal and its
staggering how good his car is compared to mine in the slippery stuff.
