I'm STI hunting tonight!
I was leaving a bar last night. I walk outside and this guy is parked hanging out with his friends right next to my car. He has a brand new STI. I live in a small area, and his car is known around town. He was a dick! I hate people who talk **** about cars! If you think you've got what it takes, than line it up, don't tell me....F*#king show me! It was 2am and I had a few too many to be racing anybody, so I walked away. But tonight I'm going out to find that guy and i will make sure it is the last time he ever chuckles at a Z06 from the drivers seat of a bone stock STI.
By the way my car is a stock '02 Z06, I just bought it a week ago so I think it's time to break it in

From someone who owns one ...
If a stock STi, he will outlaunch you if he can drive but you will walk him after that and should have about 4-5 lengths if not more by the 1/4.( by the way, to a reply above - the best launches in an STi are from slipping the clutch - a pure high RPM dump will bog them - but good slipped launches and the things can run a 1.7x 60 foot on the street on street tires),
You would still beat a lightly to moderately modded STi, and probably still pretty easily. The only way you could get in trouble is if he has an upgraded turbo and serious mods. But since he doesn't, line them up and enjoy the kill ...

Well, it's raining outside so I'll prob have to hold of for a night, but if I don't run into him this week, I know where I can find him on friday night. I'm going to bring my camcorder so I can post a vid. After he left his friend was talking about going from a roll THat would be too easy, but I'd be happy to run from a stop. It has been awhile since I have raced anyone for $$$$, I hope he's cocky enough to put some up! I'll post the vid after I find him.
I know, I'm slow somtimes
It was sarcasm.

Launching!
I don't ever see a stock STi taking out an stock Z06. Out of the whole yes, but it can't be by much. I can't wait to see this vid!!
Just curious, and trying not to get off topic, but what are you running now in the 1/4 weatherguy? Those look like some pretty sweet mods to compare to your past car(z28).

GOOD JOB not racing after a couple beers. If he was talkin **** and I had a Z06, I woulda had a REAL hard time not getting into a fistfight or some ****. Get that bastard and let us know how it goes.

No way, no how a stock Sti Will touch a stock Z06. Put it this way I recently took all the mods off my Evo. It is actually running richer now than from the factory because I left the Walboro fuel pump in it. I mean stock boost, everything stock. The day I took all the stuff off, a brand new C6 pulls up next to me at the light (****).C6 posts very similar numbers to the Z06. Needless to say it was not pretty, I launched, so did he, the view of his *** end pulling away strongly did nothing for my ego lol. It was murder up to 120mph where he was about 12 cars ahead. I stood no chance, running a little rich or not. You will kick his *** dude. Reason for this story is because it is very similar to your scenario.

I can't wait to run him and I'll post the vid as soon as I do, but the weather hasn't been in my favor and it really doesn't look good for the rest of the week. As soon as this weather clears and the roads dry off a little I'm going to find him.
It was hard not to, but I like my license and that fri night happened to be prom night for the local Highschool so there were cops everywhere!

At some point, gotta stop doing this 4-banger stuff though and get back to a nice, fat V8 and all that wonderful low end torque I have my eye on the new Z06, but gotta confess that the new Shelby coming out of Ford has really got my interest. In the meanwhile, it is going to be fun surprising people who might run across a little turbo 4-banger unawares ...
