Interesting read. Some minor 'hatin there, but some pretty fair comments there for the most part

funny you should ask, HPF had a dyno day with mazda mps club on saturday.

In stock form they hit 160kw atw on hpf dyno

Mine was there that day, in stock trim, and hit 170.9kw atw

You'll find most of this was true up until the MY09/MY10 CS10 WRX and newer. They have the STi trim turbo on them, have great performance and seem to be responding exceptionally well to light mods. From a standing start, you will get annihilated. As for all the versus talk, my car Dyno'ed 180FWKW (About 300HP at the fly) and in a straight line, is on par with any of the 317KW V8's (300C SRT8 and HSV R8). It's got FSD shocks, a HD Rear Sway bar and will keep up with or destroy just about anything in the mountains, including most bikes.


Now... Where's that Do Not Feed The Troll Smiley gone?

I think the ultimate thing about WRX's is this...

How many guys do you see driving them, compared to chicks driving them? From my experience, it's always more chicks driving them - especially ones with horrible chromies and shit. Plus some of them have pink badges.

Just like SS Storm utes - WRX's have become chicks cars.

and MADAUSSIE, you are completly correct hehe you got me thinking about your comment but yeah, these days every second wrx has a chick driver.... so true!!!

Hmmm I don't agree.

I haven't seen any gender bias one way or the other with them. Maybe it's a different story in WA, but certainly in Vic that's not the case.

I think the WRX is a very good car. The only thing that stopped me taking it much more seriously when I was looking at the MPS was the fact that I got more creature comforts as standard in the MPS and the MPS was somewhat less common on the roads

im also in Vic and there is a hell of alot more girls driving wrx's these days... anyway i was looking also at the wrx 09 model the only reason i went for the MPS is because not everyone has a MPS i hate having the same car as all my mates lol

You guys are making a fairly large generalisation. In the later years many females have gotten into imports/modded cars, and to be honest I would say I know more female MPS owners than WRX owners. The truth is that now you'll notice a lot more females driving MPS/WRX/Skylines/Supras/Silvias/Falcons/HSVs and so on in general. Where once this used to be a scene dominated by males, it is now becoming a level playing field.
