I'm sure there are a few LS1's out there that thought that before they raced me.

And a off the lot Pontiac is impressive? Unless you are running single digits with your car it's far from "impressive".

What impresses me is my car runs mid to low 12's and when NEPA had all that snow my car just ployed through it. How man 12 second LS1 did I see out in the snow? Yeah that was NONE.

Dude get your head right.

Hes just ignorant, dont waist your time with people like that....


No one should be out launching awd cars on a normal street tire, Drag radials or slicks is a totaly different story.

If your car was so fast and impressive normally, and everyone knew it, you wouldn't have to use the lame "I can drive in the snow" arguement. I don't understand why you guys are trying to impress everyone here. The people making fun of you guys aren't going to change their minds.

Got any times for the STI? Or you waiting for the tracks to open up in March?
Yeah I only had 2 weekends at the track with my Blackbird, I def. feel I had another couple of tenths in it (especially if I had gone back with DR's).

No I don't have any times for the STI yet, March will be the first time at the track. I am hoping to do better than stock tho!! I'd be happy with any sub 13 run.

Lame? Haha yeah being able to drive you car full time is lame. Truth is I don't need anyone approval for my car. I've owned more Chevy's when a good 90% of the people here. My WRX is my 1st tuner car. My car runs fairly quick times. It's not the fastest car I have owned but it's the only one in the 12's and able to drive full time in NEPA.

So your LS1 is ONLY build for the 1320?
I don't need to mod my car to drive in any weather. My car can drive in the snow, rain, dirt, AutoX, Rally or the 1320 and beat a lot of cars doing it.

And be thankful they don't put snow on the 1320 (I'm sure somewhere some crazy fools have done this, wouldn't shock me to see it on the internet). If they did I can see a lot of fbodies going down to a Toyota Tercel.

Then it wouldn't be a stock for stock race now would it?

And on top of alllllllllll that, the Evo is built by the shittyest car company in the world, MITSUSHITSI.
Even if the STI did do 12.8 it sure as hell was trapping close to 106 and it is still weak on top end compared to the EVO 9. Also all the mag tests I've seen(including top gear) the '06 Evo has been the preferred car over '06 STI. Check it.

If all you do is spin then either you can't drive, or your car is not set up properly. I had over 500rwhp/tq on my C5 and managed just fine on street tires. DSM's are for kids.

That's a really bald statement... There are plenty of fast DSM's and it never hurt anyone to give respect when it's due
