beat two STI's my mods on my camaro are:
A4 no stall, Long tubes, cutout, 230/224 cam, lid , tune.
sti's unknown
first one with my cutout open, going 35mph, him being stick shift took off right on the third honk and i floored it on the third so when my car being A4 it took its time to go react so he got 1 and half cars right away. By the time we hit 80 i went past him and pulling and shut off at 90
second one , doing 30 roll, we both took off at third honk, he got me a car and by 70ish i went past and pulling to about 80 and shut off.
where these sti's stock or what could they have done to em i dont have any idea what their HP numbers are

That's exactly the opposite of everything I've ever heard... there is a reason that early fighter jets and such were supercharged or turbocharged, and I can tell you that it has nothing to do with increased power at sea level.

yes and there are also tons of people with great passes on their 10 bolts. I have seen 2 STIs break from launching like madmen, Great launches though before that. and the drives did know what they were doing. granted, this was out of tons of runs. i am by no means saying they have bad drive trains....i mean that would be like calling the kettle black (look at F-Bodies), but, it does happen occasionally.im sure they have better than us. Also, is the factory rating correct on STIs? they seem a tad slow for 300HP. i guess the AWD doesnt really help much there.

No. There are people with 100+ 1/4 mile passes that drive the cars to their full potential. If you don't know how to launch, then yes you will break something. Just like the stock 10-bolt in an F-body.

Pretty sure you got that backwards buddy. Considering that with an increase in elevation, N/A cars lose power. For example, my car loses about a whole second off the 1/4 mile. So that comes out to about 20% power loss due to elevation. Which would be why turbo cars are so common out here. Research before you post **** like that.
