The '06 regular 5spd WRX weighs 3190lbs. The TR is about 20lbs lighter I'm told (no six disc cd changer, no heated seats, no fog lights). Cobb also saw 202hp at the wheels on the stock '06 (see the 2nd to last post on the first page for the dyno plot). With driver my car should come in at around 3,330lbs depending on fuel load.
If it was a dry day and you could get your rear tires to hook up, it'll be no contest. The Porsche will beat me each and every single run. If the road is a little dusty or there's some precipitation, then the tables *may* slowly start to turn in my favor.
My car will still be stock enough to have an active warranty by Reading. Only mods I plan by then are the Kartboy short shifter, better tires, an STI panel filter and an OEM STI axle back exhaust. Power level will be roughly the same, but the car will be a little more responsive and easier to drive fast.
