Death by SS
Death by SS *vid* Took my 06 STI to the track last nite and ran the 1/4 mile in Commerce GA. Mods are Cobb TBE, and an OTS map for 93 octane.
This was my first time at the track with an AWD and believe me it is much easier launching an AWD on the street than it is at the track. I had alot of trouble with wheel hop even with my tires at 45psi. which I was hoping would allow the tires to spin rather than hop.
Anyhoo I get matched up with crap races all night: mostly 14 and 15 second cars. Then the last race of the night: a silver Camaro. This was my first real race of the night and I was nervous as hell cause he sounded pretty mean.
We staged up and I was thinking if I could get a decent 60' I might be able to get out in front and make a race out of it. LOL NOT, I wheel hopped so bad I thought I was going to break an axle breaking the 60' mark with a 1.83. His 60' 1.73!!!
I think I went into shock or something lmao, I totally missed my shift point into second (not that it would have made a difference) and sailed to a dismal 13.31 @ 103.08 to his 11.4 @ 119.26!!!
Dude if your on this site mad props to your ride it is a beast

60' - 1.78
1/8 - 8.32 @ 83.13
I think what is killing my top end (besides AWD) is the OTS map I really need to get it on the dyno and have it tuned.
