2006 Sti Kill Last night on the way home from the store i drove past the cornor gas station where all the "import ****" hang out. well this guy in a sti saw me so i gave it some gas to see if he wanted to go. he did. so we drive up to a nice strait away headed right into the desert. we hit it from a 15mph roll and i had a car on him till 3rd gear then he got up on my side. we were pushing 130+ by the time other cars were coming up in front of us. i had the lead and was pulling a little bit by this point so i hit the breaks and flashed my highs. he kept going and turned on his hazards like he won. little *****. anyways from what i saw/heard he had cat back, intake and a blow off valve.
i was very sad that i didnt beat his *** by more but oh well a kill is a kill.

From what I've heard, they only put down around 220awhp stock because of the drivetrain loss, and with your mods you're probably making 320+rwhp. A cat-back, intake, and BOV won't make up for that.

More than likely, you raced one with a TBE (catback does not do anything on an STi, just like any car) a tune, and perhaps some methanal.
A BOV and an intake take away power on STi's.
A tuned, TBE STi makes 280-300 WHP (AWD dynos are all over the place). Sounds like the guy knew how to drive as well. Most STi drivers bring their car to redline instead of shifting at around 6200-6400ish if he was keeping up with you higher up in speeds because the car makes much better power around 5k than 7k.

He must have been heavily modded to keep up with you, considering you're probably putting down over 100WHP more than he puts down stock. So he must have had at least a few grand in mods to even keep up as well as he did.

That is what is commonly referred to as a stage two STi and they trap at 106 at the low end and 110 at the high, which is just a little below what an LS1 with his mods on average will run (108-112). This guy may have run methanol as well, or he could have been a slightly better driver than our guy here to make this race close. Nevertheless, a stage two STi is a close race for a stock/lightly bolt-on M6 LS1. Past 120 though, the STi will run out of steam (turbo does not do that well past 6k and sixth gear is a no-no for racing).

ok i just went up to the gas station and talked to his friend. he thought i used NOS on him. hahaha. anyways he has a aftermarket turbo running 20lbs of boost and about $6,000 in work on top of that and he says that he beats Ls1s all the time. i dont think so.

i ran a STI at a track around my home town and i don't know what kinda mods he had done but outta the hole he jumped me a little with the awd but i pulled 2 cars by 3/4 track but all of a sudden he made it up and put half a car on by the end.....idk maybe spray, i didn't ask
all the sti's i've raced around here(so cal) have given me a tough fight. i've been dead nuts even from about 60-130 with a couple of them, and pulled maybe 1 length on a couple others. i don't know much about em, but i always thought evo's and sti's were close if not even, but every evo i race i've pulled 1-2 cars on.

Or you could just stop making retarded posts and bragging about shitty imports. That would be better.

evos can handle 550awhp or so on stock 2.0L..
now i own a evo..and the whole "import ****" ive seen this a lot on here..does it make you feel better by saying that?the mitsubishi 4G63 is probably one of the best motors ever made..brent rau is running the same 4G63(built etc of course) and hes running 6.8's at high 190's....or lets say john shepards 7.70 at 195 with a 4G63
and a awd vs rwd car with same power from a dig will just be ugly for the rwd.
no hate going on here,my whole family has been mustang owners(cobras and GTs of course) but i went the right path instead.
i just dont see why import ****,or ricers has to be brought up when theres plenty of "ricers" out there that would walk on a lot of cars here..i love fast cars period.and people should have respect for a ricer,or another make that isnt your if it is just as fast or faster..dont hate b/c a "ricer" can put down just as much if not more with 1/2 the motor
and for the record a sti and evo arent ricers
