No, it wouldn't. With its VTEC and lack of low-end torque, the GSR is just as bad from a roll as the WRX with its turbo lag.
I don't think you know much about the WRX. I don't brag much about street racing (and particularly not here) but one of my first "kills" in my WRX was actually on a 300M rolling from 55mph (which is an optimum start for 3rd btw). He initiated it (just to be clear) and I blew his freakin' doors off.
I'm not saying the WRX is the "king of cars" or any BS like that. Nothing of the sort. Not is it perfect by any stretch of the imagination. What I am saying is that if you are a "driver" (meaning you actually don't want leather or nav systems or other such unnecessary items and just want a pure car that is both handles well and is relatively fast), the WRX is the best car you can get for under $25k.
