I believe the WRX conversation came up a while ago, back when Inferno was hangin around and all that. Man, seems like so long ago...

Anyway, the general info on the WRX is mid/high 14's dropping off significantly in the top end. The AWD system robs a tremendous amount of power, so even though the little 2800lb scooters have 227hp, it's more like 165hp or something that gets to the wheels. They should be easy to mod, but even the true WRX STi with 276hp manages only very high 4 low 5sec 0-60's and quarter miles in the 13's. If a new GT' was capable of running a high 4 in the 0-60 it would rip off a mid 13 easy. That's with less hp than a STi and 400lbs of additional weight.

If you're worried, which I'm not, run them from a roll. They'll have to have at least an additional 100hp over stock to really pound a new stock GT, or mild modded fox body.
