2011 WRX

God Damn I rode in a buddies, had an inter cooler but other than that stock. With that launch control that thing will go. Just because of its all wheel drive and launch, I think it could beat the ZL1... No idea from a roll though.

Might beat one across the street... Stock WRX is a 13 second car, not even close to ZL1 range.

I assume you're talking about a WRX STi. A regular WRX is considerably slower than a STi. STi's are impressive at the start due to their AWD. A good STi driver could keep up with a ZL1 at the start. However, a stock and mildly modded STi has no chance against a ZL1 (or even a SS) as the speed increases. A big reason for this are the very short gear ratios on the STi's 6-speed trans. I've heard late model STi's are well into 5th gear on just a 1/4 mile run.

Due to their gearing, the new base WRX is as fast, and has been actually tested to be faster, through the 1/4 and 0-60 than the new STi.

And I agree, a stock WRX or STi will only end up eating a lot of tire smoke from a ZL1. I've never heard of a stock STi doing 0-60 in under 4 seconds.

1/8 it probably could

This thread is full of win.

Base wrx is not fastER than the STi but they are as fast as the Sti. Modded, they can go faster than STi. I been a suby freak since its debut back in 2001 and they are GREAT cars. These days you can't even find a hatch base wrx sitting on the dealer lot. What car that cost 25k can do 4.7sec 0-60 out the showroom. I believe starting next year the subies are going to be branding the wrx as its own and out of the impreza lineup. I know one day I will go back home

This is from C&D

And when we say "plenty," we mean it: the revised WRX now blasts to 60 mph from a standstill in an electrifying 4.7 seconds. That's 1.1 seconds quicker than the 2008 model—and get this—0.3 second quicker than we've managed in a WRX STI, the supposedly higher-performance version of the WRX. The fact that the WRX is now substantially quicker seems absolutely bonkers, but there are a couple of good explanations. First, the WRX STI weighs a hearty 180 pounds more than the base WRX, according to our scales. Second, the STI and its closer-ratio six-speed manual call for two shifts to 60, while the regular WRX's five speed hits 60 mph in second gear. By the time the pair travel a quarter-mile, the '09 WRX loses some ground, though; both cross the line at 102 mph, with the base Rex edging out the STI by just 0.1 second, 13.5 to 13.6.

I used to have a WRX. Things are super quick. All wheel drive is a definite plus. Camaro's much more fun, though.
