I don't know about the WRX but I definitely got my ass kicked by an 2.5 RS the other day. My friend was driving and there were a total of 3 of us in the car. We took off from a dead stop at this stoplight and the dude just killed us right away! We sped up to about 60mph and gave up.

I dunno but part of it may be that my friend hasn't driven the SVX at all and the RS had a 5 speed... what do you guys think?
