Default killed an sti (barely)

FINALLY found one of these things that wasnt going the other way and didnt turn off. we messed around from a roll and he pulled me everytime so i was kinda worried , but in all fairness he was hittin it before me. finally caught a light and he had me by about a car off the line because i was babying it so i wouldnt spin too bad, caught and put about a car on him up to 110 or so. said his mods were a catback and an air filter. he was a cool guy though, definently not a ricer. i was impressed i wasnt expecting it to be as fast as it was especially from a roll.

I'm pretty sure he had more than what he said. I know a kid w/ a 98 Cobra w/ exhaust that put it to an STi nasty three times in a row. Those Subaru's aren't really that fast.

The STi should realistically be faster as it has 300 HP and a 6 speed in it. They are both low 13 second cars stock with good drivers launching at 5k from a dig.

Good point, but this particular one wasn't, must have been the driver.

A regular WRX, sure ... an STI, doubtful (unless it was a terribly shitty driver).

WRX = 14 second car
98 slowbra with exhaust = mid - high 13's
Stock STI = low - mid 13's.

They're pretty quick cars, givin a good driver.

Thanks guys, I feel loved... Well, lets say, im hoping for mid 17's in stock form this spring at E-town. By the end of the summer, after an engine swap(provided I find a cheap donor car in the local VW salvag yard) I hope to be in the 14's... nothing special, but enough to fry some rice. I want 13's before I give up on the car totally, I think. Unless of course, 10k or so finds its way into my hands very quickly, in which case, screw the jetta.

Eh with awd u lose a lot of that 300whp thru drivetrain loss, plus the thing weighs a lot, it'll move from a stop but they die on top end
