well the roush truck is made for pure towing power like the saleen f-150 not really a drag car

Here is my take on this arguement. Considering that I have owned both a 2005 Subaru WRX STi and a 1990 Ford Mustang. I would have to say that I have first hand knowledge of how fast these cars are.

OK, at the one track event that I went to. I managed to catch and pass a 2000-2003 Ford Mustang Saleen. I caught him in a straight away, and pulled away in the turns. He never even came close to catching up to me for the rest of the day.

Now, at the this same very track, Reno-Fernley Race Way, the fastest times that are posted at the track events are from STI's.

As far as drag no the STI's aren't impressive they are mid-high 13's on a GOOD day.

But they are made for the corners, I know for a fact that they would show a GT500 their taillights in the twisties.

uh, actually, no, not bullshit. i was with him when he strapped it to the dyno. i never said it was stock. but it did make those numbers.

[Breakout]

For all of the money your buddy put in his STI making it 500 hp, I would have bought a BMW m6 instead of the car and mods. Yeah...it's only got 386 hp stock, but I'd get way more pussy then an STI. I base this off of the previous thread on mods to an STI that has 337 hp.

i no the subarus are quick i saw one race a 2wd hemi truck ... the hemi hammered it off the line the subaru didnt no they were racin. the subaru just hammered thru the gears and passed the hemni as he hit 4th ... im pretty sure id get spanked

[Racerchik02]

I do a lot of autocrossing with a few STI owners...and I have to say outside of the miata...the STI's take the twisties...I drive a V6 but have been up to grid with a few GT's and the STI's usually take it...Also really depends on the mods...but in a straight line...the STI is pretty slow stock.

[TurboLX]

my buddy's STI runs 10's in tthe 1/4

[Regency 2007]

STI's launch good but get overwhelmed once rolling, a little 4 cylinder trying to turn 4 wheels in a not so light car..... ouch!

thats odd, b/c theres a guy who autocrosses his STI with just a weld on muffler and a K&n drop in filter stock style replacement ripped of 12.9, 12.8, 12.7 and a few more 12.8's at his 2nd outing at a drag strip.

But anyways, he also said that all these kids that are buying the STI's are launching them at 4k rpms and the new engine mounts just can't handle it. Yay for imports!!! :award

que? What? huh?

Clutch dump a mustang at 4k enough times and something will break too. yay for Fords :award

See this stupid bullshit goes both ways. You abuse it. You're going to break it. Plain and friggen simple guys.
