98 ws6 vs 07 STI

It has a lot to do with the cow jumping over the moon theory of relative momentum vs force. While the cow has the force to jump over the moon the momentum is slowed by atmospheric pressure and relative humidity. If it had more hoofpower then it could be achieved but the hoofpower to weight ratio of the average cow is simply too low. Hope that helps.

Ive had a few races with STI's, S4's and Evo's. You would be shocked as to how the outcome is when you do a roll race compared to off the line. Even with my friends G37 if we raced off the line he would be right next to me through 2nd and i would only pull maybe one car on him by the end of 3rd. If i was to race him from 3rd gear, a roll race he would get murdered.
It gave him false hope that if i only pulled him by barely one car by the end of 3rd in a race were we raced off the line that i would barely pull on him on roll races. Its the same outcome for me with an sti i raced, he beat me bad off the line and kept it there and on the highway i pulled on him easily. Dont know why, maybe its just my car thats that way but to me a roll race and off the line is two different races.

and besides that, the previous owner of my car ran those times. i have a different suspension set up and new wheels with DRs, and 4.10s. the last thing i need is a driver mod, more like rear end mod now.

Good kill!
You list the previous owner's track numbers in your sig? For serious?

to show what my car has ran, for serious.
if you bought an 11 second car, and he gave you the slips, and you havent had the chance to run it down the track, would you not save people the time of asking what it ran when you know what the car did? ive never driven with the guy, so i cant comment on his driving skills, but i know he was asleep at the wheel as well with a 2 sec reaction time lol.
just did it for basically a baseline for my car i guess.
for cereal guys

Good kill on a junior AWD driver... Stage II equals around 315ish... Is he running a Cobb Accessport and is he tuned or just have the parts on the car? Your in South Carolina... I don't know any Subie tuners around there except for Top Speed in Georgia... Wait til he learns how to drive and get that thing tuned bro... whole different car once thats done...
I wish you lived closer to Maryland... My STi isn't slow by any means... Barrie is close to Windsor right? I might have to bring her home to Detroit and go hunting in Canada...lol

If I hadn't run the car myself I would just list the dyno numbers, especially if the track numbers sucked *****. And before you cry about the fact that he ran the car on **** tires, if you don't like it then take the numbers down until you run it the way you want it set up.

true, but thats why i specified it was on street tires... i did it mostly to show the trap speed, again not too high but a good 10 mph over stock... his best mph was 118 he said. probably right though, its not impressive numbers by any means, so i probably should take it off the sig lol
and yeah barrie is only about 4 hours north of windsor, maybe more haha... an hour north of toronto though, i can meet you there OR! everyone can come to the big f body show in Niagara falls, where we attempt to make the biggest car mural or whatever the **** its called lol.
should be LOTS of good races coming out of there. my friend with his 650whp SRT4 is coming down with me, gonna cruise in and let the mullets start talking **** to him and see who wants to get their *** handed to em first lol. (srt is his track car, stg 2 sti is his daily)

I might as well go ahead and put 10.8 in my Sig then. That is what it ran with previous owner with a different setup... Sounds like some rice... If YOU don't run it, than YOU can't claim it...
