STI goes down Driving on the 60 East going home from school I see a group of integras maybe following each other somewhere. I just look and keep driving. All of a sudden WOOOOOSH 
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??? 
I look and it's a STI 
I follow and tail him, but we hit a bit of traffic. The traffic clears and I get on his left and he guns it and pulls me instantly. I was in mid 3rd and nailed it. The *** of the car started sliding to the right and then caught traction. I stopped his pull immediately at the top of 3rd. I heard his BOV (which sounded really nice), but he needed more. 4th I pulled him like a dog on a leash. He then gave up and got off at the next exit. Finally I slow to about 65 and continue my cruise home and the Integras come up and look at me like I have **** on me. Can anybody tell me what I did wong?

They prob thought the sti was gunna kick ya ***, and when you showed other wise it would have pissed them off big time. Had you lost they would have been laughing, typical ricer reaction.

I work with a guy who asked if the Lingenfelter 427 TT was faster than a bolt on RSX type S. 
This after flipping through the supertuner challenge. I had to inform the lad that all the cars in the challenge would lay a prison raping on an RSX when they were stock.
Ricer's are just blissfully unaware.

A stock STi from a roll is basically dead against a stock LS1 from a roll - not nearly as much power and too much parasitic loss. I suspect that one you ran was probably stock with maybe a ricer-type BOV on the vehicle. No surprise on the outcome - you should have and did win.
You gotta watch out, though - STis can be made to run in the 11s pretty easily (or at least I think so, as I am about to find out). But I don't think they can be made any faster than that with any type of sanity - though they can be made to have 500 HP to the wheels, turbos that big have too much spool time, and this is pushing the limit of what 4-bangers can do. Another thing is that the import crowd (at least what I have seen in the world that works with STis and Evos) does not seem to be nearly as sophisticated as the LS1/6/2 world - while there are ones out there with good mods, many do the ricer thing.

Coming out I have to say I sold my 04 sti, but before I did I 
raped gtos, ls1 ,and a nondriving punk in a cobra. that kid was scared to dig a gear deeper. I ran a 03 m3 top end many times . No winner could be determined. RIP 04 stock sti that ran 8.3 in the 1/8 ht in Savannah , Ga.

I also can share in the experience of mangling STis from a roll... from 70-120 I put about 4-5 car lengths on one coming back from the drag strip last spring...
He was a cool guy -- couldn't believe how good my car sounded, and I think he was surprised to get waxed as bad as he did...

I have a "friend" with an STi, he claims to have beaten a WS6 on the highway. I believe him, which makes me believe the WS6 driver wasnt such a good driver.
Thats the problem with street races, anything could happen. Doesn't mean his car is faster, just that he did a better job driving.
Anywho, I intend to make him fall victim once the track opens

I have to repeat what I said earlier - ignoring driver error, there is *no* way that a stock STi is going to beat a stock LS1 from a roll. Now an STi is still going to be very competitive or even pull starting from a 30 mph roll (gotta love the very low gearing), but it is dead when it is a 60 mph roll or higher.
And or course, all bets are off when people start doing serious modding, but none of us do that

I raced an 04 sti from a dig put about 5 cars on him because he could not launch. I raced a guy from a dig who could race and it was a different story. I barely ended up putting about a car on him. I raced one from a roll and put about a bus length on one.
