Round 2: Bone Stock '06 WRX TR 1/4 mile times
 

I went to Richmond Dragway in Sandston, VA for round 2 today! The track is ~100ft above sea level and according to the National Weather Service conditions were as follows:

Temp: 55 deg F (at time of 1st run), 60 deg F (at time of my 2nd run)
Relative Humidity: 24 %
Barometer: 30.14 in. Hg
Dewpoint: 20°F (-7°C)

My car is 100% bone stock with 6,800 miles on the odometer. I'm running a 'true' factory stock set-up (nothing from the intake, intake resonator, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, engine management, etc has been changed). I used Shell 93 octane gas (had just over a 1/4 tank) and my tire pressures were set at 40psi all around. Only weight reduction I did was remove my spare tire (left jack in the trunk). I weigh 170lbs.

I got to the track early and my engine was able to cool for 1.5 hours before my first pass. I made 2 passes and launched at 5,000rpms w/ clutch slip. I'm car #22:

Run 1 (I bogged the launch)
60ft: 2.0688
330ft: 5.8446
1/8th: 8.9866
MPH: 79.44
1/4: 13.9679
MPH: 98.53

Run 2 (decent launch)
60ft: 1.9433
330ft: 5.6327
1/8th: 8.7650
MPH: 79.31
1/4: 13.7468
MPH: 98.25

This was a cool turbo-charged twin rotary RX-7 that competed in NOPI last season and was switching to NHRA this year:

Cliff Notes: Bone stock '06 WRX TR goes 13.74@98.25 mph

Chike,
Congrats on the time! Now, isn't it time to start playing with the boost;) :D
-Bill

Thanks Bill! :cool:

Nope. No power mods just yet - when I get some extra money I'm going to go for some spare wheels and r-compound tires. AutoX baby! :)

I won't be going back to the strip until the Fall. I'm happy with my times for now - fyi, my 13.74 is the fastest confirmed 1/4 mile run by an '06 WRX to date.

srt4 is fastAr

Funny you should say that...

I was lined up next to that SRT-4 in the staging lanes and he mentioned he was Mopar Stage 1 (14psi boost, intake & exhaust) and had run a 13.6 a few weeks earlier. I told him I was bone stock and ran a 14.01 at VMP. When our lanes started moving, his friend in a WS-6 pulled off to the side and he moved in front of him so he wouldn't have to run against me. He ended up running a 14.34 @100mph on his run. I offered to race him on my second run but he didn't want to go again - said he wasn't getting any traction.

Oh well, I guess the SRT-4 is the fastAr!!! :D :D :D

Nice job! Seem to me that the advertised horsepower of the '06 WRX is underrated. Have you mentioned anything at Nasioc yet about your 1/4 mile time?

:D :D :D Are you kidding? - Chike has probably submitted the same post on 4 different forums by now!

Ha ha! Lol. This post is on nasioc, clubwrx, legacygt and evolutionm.

Thanks! The '06 WRX is extremely under-rated from the factory.

Cobb saw 170whp on their awd Mustang dyno for the '02-'05 WRXs. They recorded 202whp for the '06 WRX on the exact same dyno (FYI - a stock STI makes around 236whp on that dyno).

Got any hot picks at the horse races?!?! :-)

Evom? Do you have your flame suit on?

Ha ha. No need. It's in the appropriate 'Other Cars' section and the guys there are a decent group of folks! They're comments have actually been quite +ve:

Yeah, quite a few people over there are positive, but there seems to be a small contingent of flame throwers.

I wouldn't be surprised if all his total post counts from all forums might be more than 25,000...:rolleyes: :eek: :p = ?

Perhaps the SRT4 driver doesn't know how to launch that day...and the AWD TR does help in better launch...


I'm happy with your time too, chike. :D Do you have/know about any info that what're the quickest 1/4 mile times for stock EVO(MR) and STI(Spec C) up to today? :D
