The majority of vette's I see run fast times are on stock suspension too...

Dude who holds the H/C record for C6Z's did a 1.22 60' on stock suspension.

There's freight-trained, and then there is being airplaned. ZR1 passed at double the mph of the Subie.

RWD boosted launches>*. Subarus may be the worst drag platform out there. Hondas are better.

5.0 vs 335 shows what just the hit can do. And i like how they said STOCK w/ tune..tune is huge on them 335's..


ZR1 walked the dog hard on the WRX

Subaru sounded like it hit 5th gear before the 1/8th mile

The ZR1 passed him like he was in reverse.

Completely agreed. Why even race? Thats a guaranteed loss. The only time I raced with 4 people in my car was against a car with 3 people in it. LOL

Those 335s are stout cars.

Is your google broken? Depending on exact year and model it could have 3.90 or 3.54.

And the sad part is everyone is saying the Sti got freight trained. Maybe if the race was a half mile. Vette didn't pass until mid 5th which I'm going to assume is around 120. So for being down 250 hp I'd say the Sti did great. I'd still rather have the vette though

It took the vette 8-9 seconds to drive around him, it was less than a 1/4. Just accept that Subaru's are slow, life will be easier.

I like Subaru's and think that one would be a cool dd, but keep it real here. Unless it was driver error, that Subie wasn't going to out run that ZR1.

This^^ The race started at 0.19 and the Vette airplaned the Subie at 0.27.

By Arctic's logic, the Subaru shifted 4 times and was going 120 in 8 seconds with 304 awhp

Watch the video when the go pro is on the Subaru and count the shifts

Regardless of the number of shifts, it was less than a 1/4 mile before the ZR1 came around him.
