The problem with WRX's is that even tho they're AWD, from a launch it might as well be FWD since people have to baby the transmissions so much. Newer WRX's are much stronger transmissions though. My friend gave me a ride in his 2018 WRX and I thought it was goin to be a lot faster. Right at 5500rpms the power tapers off.
LOLOL The wrx has a stock muffler for sure so probably not stage 2 OTS tuned correcty...and by looking at the back and really examining the spacing, (and ignoring the RSX's hazards wayyyy too early) it looks like the WRX got him the last two times out of the three
NA WRX? Dafuq are u talkin about man. You support a car you have no idea about? All Slowbaru WRX's are boosted from the factory. What do you think that is laying on top of the engine? Hint: It's an intercooler. You can also hear the BOV when the Slowbaru lets off... Point is the NA 2.0L K20 slapped the boosted 2.5L EJ25. A K20 will slay an EJ25 any day mod-per-mod, with less displacement. Sorry to break it to you.
