i just raced one tonight, faster then i thought... we didnt go from a dig (luckily cause it was raining all day ) we had a couple of runs though...from 45 to 70 i took him by a half of a car, from 65 up i was pulling nasty but he dropped off.. and from a roll at 35 to 70 took him by 1 length..i just filled up w/ gas... i asked what he had done, he said "nothing major just exaust and a few other things" then i asked him if he took it to the track and what it ran "13.20's)....thats exactly what im running...next time we encounter it shouldnt be so close

I have no problem with Sti's. See sig for reason why. Thanks again to LG Motorsports
Even the modded ones aren't anything to worry about.

My car pulls very well on the top end. 29-31mph after the 1/8th is the norm. It just depends with the setup. It's really not about drivetrain loss. Trust me, I can run just fine with a H/C vette on the highway.
