S2000 vs STi from a Dig
Last night my friend Javi and I were going from 1 bar to another. On the way there we were getting on the throttle here and there through turns n what not. We were almost at the 2nd bar when we got to a red light next to each other. I asked him for a friendly quick dig race to see how it stacks up against one.
He agrees to have some fun and at Green we take off. I had 1 passenger with me, he had none. His car is stock.
At green we both hit it (literally at the same time)
I spun and got a little sideway from 6k rpm launch but catches traction pretty quickly (not bad for summer tires). He had had the RPMs up there because he started reving before I did - and he jumped out by a car and a half. I hammered second and he stayed about 2 cars ahead until we got there (probably up to 60mph).
Not bad for an all motor intake catback S two hundred. After the quick race we BS a little and he knew to feather the clutch till it catches n to then dump it, etc - hes a cool guy, not crap talking just fun

Sounds like a fun run you guys got in there! I noticed that even when they don't launch the crap out of them, those STI's usually walk out down low. I'm guessing that's due to the gearing.
How are you liking the new ride so far? When's that header going on?

Yea man, they move out regardless. They are great cars, just not my cup of tea anymore lol. It scared me when he got that kind of jump but what can ya do lol. I don't often dig race, but my buddy said my launch was pretty flawless for what it was.

i believe the record on a stock motor was just over 700whp. Those motors are insane to say the least. Not sure how long that one held up before popping. I know of a slightly over 500whp S2k that had arp headstuds to keep the head from lifting and last i knew of its been a year of weekend after weekend rapage and its held up. But yeah i'd love to boost one also.

The 500whp s2k you spoke of - I'd bet he did a 2 or 3mm head gasket while doing the headstuds. OR is running meth injection. The reason I say that, is these motors run 11:1 compression - would be a lot of detonation with the amount of boost needed for 500whp
Yea that is why I am not really in a rush to turbo it, when it happens it happens!

I'd have to assume the record holder didn't last long lol.
