*Video* WRX vs. 330i

2002 WRX vs. my 2001 330i. My only mod was the UUC exhaust and the WRX is stock. This is on a road where no one is in risk of danger except for us.

Is either car an auto? The shifts sounded sort of slow.

We stopped racing right at the end of the video....as you can see, he hits the brakes. He couldn't gain on me.

My 330i is Steptronic Should have never gotten that, but when my dad bought me the car, I wasn't really into cars let alone BMWs when I got it, but now I regret not getting a manual.

The Wrx is a manual though. He should be able to beat me, but he can never get ahead of me.

Did the WRX rev high and launch? Kind of looked like a lazy start.

He said he launched from 4k.

no offense but i honestly think he shoulda taken you. must have not been a very good driver.

dont get me wrong 330 is fast but the wrx should be able to take it by a couple lengths i think.

Nice kill, but Gianni is right, it was a bad WRX driver. With a good launch WRX's pull 5.5 sec 0-60's. It just proves the point that no matter how fast your car, it usually comes down to the driver. Nice job!

You guys might not believe this, but i beat a WRX this past weekend. I have a 94 325is with chip and intake. I know it had some kind of mods, maybe it was stock but it had an aftermarket blow off valve. We both launched off the line and i had him from the beginning. I know if he would have launched that car right he should have taken me. The faster the speed got the more i would pull on him. When we let off at the bottom of 4th, i was about 1-1.5 cars ahead. My friend was behind me and witnessed it all. It surprised both of us. Also he is the one that asked me to race him, i though oh well ill get killed by a wrx, but to my surprise, as well as his, i won. He was pretty pissed.....................

The key to the WRX is the launch. My brother says if he doesn't launch it right, he'll get beat by all sorts of embarassing cars.

Yes, the key to the WRX is the launch. The WRX is a slug until the turbo kicks in (4k RPM?) and then it pulls pretty damn hard. If he didn't launch it, you will get some car lengths on him out of the hole. If the road was longer, he probably would have caught up eventually because he has more power. Nice Kill!!!
