I would surprise many cars- although after 60, forget it. I'll bet it would be pretty close to 60 versus a 135i although the 135 would take it at some point after that. The newer STI's are about the same to 60, maybe a tad slower due to an extra shift- 6 speed to get to 60 versus WRX 5 speed. Although they make up for it with the extra HP once they get going. And if the roads were wet- that WRX was almost untouchable- that's when I had the most fun with it!

I've been trying to get a race against my GF in her stock 135i 6spd, but she isn't very comfortable "shifting fast" as she says lol. I have a bolt on 03 wrx, still on the tiny TD04, but ported, polished, and with a heat coat. Track times suggest I'll get it in the 1/4, but I feel from a roll it would come around.
Reference times for mine are a 13.6, many years ago and mods not equipped, so I should be slightly quicker than that now. I ran hers, once and only once, with luggage in the car, to a 13.7.
You're absolutely right about the subarus falling off after 60 tho. I'd love a turbo swap (VF39, VF43, Super 16g), but I love the response I have for autox.

On slicks maybe? Sub 4 seconds is supercar territory.
