Also stop comparing your rs vs 2.8 tonne of Ford or a Nissan cos those Beetle engine things would kick your ass with 60bhp ha ha ....(No facts in the times those little shitters do)
stock rex 200hp atw vs stock rex (except engine mods)500hp atw Who would win around wanners THINK ABOUT IT....common sense

1. Re-read my post- I didn't compare the RS to the Ford.
2. Any race engineer will tell you that a stock production car has it's limits in terms of how much power the chassis is setup to handle and stock braking system can manage and so on etc. This is notable even when comparing the small jump in power between WRX and WRX STi models and the further attention to detail placed on improving chassis rigidity, tweaking suspension and brakes etc by engineers at Fuji Heavy Industries.
Realise that the Ford mentioned earlier was so inadequately set up in the braking department alone (ie- STOCK brakes), that it became unpredictable as to whether the brakes would even work appropriately before each corner... so much so that down the main straight Barry, the instructor on the day in that car, had to make him brake at the finish line in order to take CAT corner safely!!
So I'll say it again, unless you own a GT series racecar that is dedicated to significant increases... winding up a stock car to 300Hp+ over the usual won't get you anywhere faster! (Mild to Moderate increases is another story).
Stock FPV running 62's with instructor driving...
500kw FPV on steroids running 64's with instructor driving...
Proof enough... now just go do some burnouts in your valiant aiight!!
