What mods are done to the WRX that's getting it to 310 hp and is this at the crank or at the wheels? A slightly modded 1.8t is nothing, I made a modded one look very stupid when I first got my SRT-4 and all I had was the Mopar BOV which adds nothingexcept sound, so it's a non-issue against your Satellite.

Where I live, everyone and their grandma, either drives STi's, Evo's, WRX's, SRT-4's, or DSM's. I've raced numerous WRX's and STi's. They are tough from a dig, due to AWD, but unless they're heavily modded, I always kill em top end. A 310hp WRX is nothin to fear. I've beat those and mild STi's in my near-stock 350Z. A 310whp WRX, however, could be a problem. Unless you have slicks, or good DR's, he'll take you out of the pretty bad, and it'll be hard to catch him from there. From a roll though, generally speaking, those cars a joke.
