held an sti

02steedagt · March 5th, 2007, 03:10 PM

hey I raced an STI (the turbo subaru wrx) the other day and I stayed pretty much neck and neck with him.

I thought those things were nasty fast?? was he f'n with me or what? I have an 02 gt with pulleys and catback. when his turbo spooled up he started to inch ahead but not a whole lot.

They are 13 second cars he should have left you in upper second gear.

+1 not to take n e thing from you but yeah he should of left you esp from a dig thats when it gets bad!

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 06:00 PM

Maybe he couldn't drive worth a shit. Again, not a put down to your ride, but perhaps he wasn't quite with it.

02steedagt · March 5th, 2007, 07:07 PM

thats what i thought. i new those cars were faster than that. he was prolly just a really dumb driver. he didn't want to go from 40 because he said i would smoke him b/c of his turbo lag. i didn't think the lag would be that bad on those cars. w/e.

once im supercharged we'll go again. then ill give him a good smoking.

TheUNZippee! · March 5th, 2007, 07:40 PM

Sweet. Let the spankage ensue.

Yeah I raced a Subaru Legacy GT, which is only 250 horse, and with the AWD he still jumped me off the line, but I got him in the end. Barely. So the STI should be even hotter.

couldve been an sti clone and it was just a wrx.

TheUNZippee! · March 6th, 2007, 11:10 AM

That's also true.

Yeah but he would have murdered a wrx

TheUNZippee! · March 6th, 2007, 04:19 PM

The WRX is still a 250 horse AWD car, they are pretty quick.

GreenFaleen · March 6th, 2007, 04:29 PM

I beat wrx's no problem, there 15 second cars.

what do u drive Snaken, I love how those AWD cars pull of the line, one of the evos I raced was cool and actually gave me a full car length head start, and we took off, right away he got a car length ahead of me, I stayed at his ass through the end of first gear, in second I pulled up even with him, third I started pullin away slowly, he said he had one mod but wouldnt tell me what

07stanggt · March 14th, 2007, 04:30 PM

I'm waiting for one to pull up next to me on the street. If he has been cruising, his intercooler's hot..... and is just and average driver???? I would bet money on him.

I've never seen a 2.0L turbo run a 14. The NA 2.5L I have seen run a 14 but that is a non turbo STI. But all 3 I haved raced were 03's

WilltheThrill · March 14th, 2007, 09:49 PM

I got that off of modernracer.com

GreenFaleen · March 14th, 2007, 09:54 PM

never heard of the site, but low 14's seems like a lot when a sti with a normal driver runs like a 13.5
