get big, sticky tires, and a good set of springs, shocks and sway bars, then challenge her to a race on a really windy road. You should win if you're a good driver and she's not.

p.s. getting beat is only fun if you're getting absolutely worked then its just fun cause it's funny.

I replied that at the limits AWD is hard to judge because it switched from oversteer to understeer so quickly.

where did you get that idea? the impreza is mildly understeer-biased, but that's good because it lets you hamfist it sideways while trusting that the push that's there is eventually going to bring you back straight again. if one of these cars surprises its driver at the limit, then they REALLY need to work on the smoothness of their inputs.

so yeah. you're wrong about that, and you're going to lose rather badly.

i cant say good luck cause that was just a dumb idea to take on a impreza.

In a straight line my lightly modded(a bunch of bolt ons) e30 was dead even with a bugeye WRX from a rolling start, also even with a lightly modded RSX Type S from any(somewhat low) starting point.

Granted the bolt ons did seem to make it a lot faster than it should have, I dropped a half second off my 1/4 mile, but the difference in speed in these two cars is small enough that it will mostly depend on the driver, as I doubt either of you race much.

only way you are going to win if her imprezza is a RS ,shes a shit driver, granny shifting and if you take her to teh turns and you push it! good luck you have 10% winning chance.

how much power does a 2.5RS make?

What were your before and after 1/4mi. times if you don't mind me asking?

I looked online and a lot of people are pushing low 14s and even a couple in the high 13s in stock wrx's which amazed me. I'm sure this girl isn't that great of a driver though.

I used to walk my buddies Impreza 2.5RS all day in my IX. I would burn him out of the corners every time though.

[88e30is]

Oh BTW, he also had a modded WRX wagon and it would kick the shit out of me.

[stevofthahill]

How old is the OP?

[e30trooper]

rs's are 165 hp, a m20 would walk it no dout

[tonytony]

you guys are so negative, where's the faith? I'd still take the imprezza on anyway.....

[88e30is]

It has nothing do with faith. It has to do with one car being faster then the other one. Unless she sucks at driving you will lose.
