not at all, i put a car on an auto wrx a month after i bought my car (totally stock) and your average ss/sc driver will put 1-2 cars on me from a dig to say 80-90ish. the auto really slows down the wrx alot.


edit: oh i thought you had an ss/sc...ummm it might be close, but i am not really familiar with the auto 2.4. looking at your 1/4 times he will probably take you, but hey, try it and tell us the outcome.

the other factor is, the car could have been a POS, subarus are a bitch to work on, and a lot of people neglect them... i'd want to see the plugs from this WRX, lol

yea that would make more sense. auto wrx's are dogs. they lose their biggest advantage with the auto....THE LAUNCH. without a hard launch, wrx's aren't very fast, but with a good launch...watch out.
