Default sti made me feel slow

Ran a newer sti from a dig, light turned green and bam he was just gone , couldnt catch up to him till the bottom of fourth, made me feel silly, specially cause my car is so damn loud. He probably thought damn hes gonna rape me then he proceded to demolish me off the line. Its ok though cause i still caught him. Cam is going in soon to, as soon as i find a good installer so no worries.

It takes lotsa ponies to overcome a 3-4 car jump from the line.

Yes it does...had something similar happen to me by my buddy in a 3000GT VR-4. Took me really hard off the line (3-4 cars at least), and I just couldn't catch back up. Went from a roll, and pulled him by a car.

Don't be too distraught...racing from a dig is their strength.

Nothing a good set of drag radials can't remedy.

No doubt. It's cool how that 3-4 cars dwindles to a half with the MT's.

Install the cam yourself, and invest in some drag radials..


two problems solved there
