If it's a good run i'll even need to shift into 5th. my redline in 4th is exactly 130 @ 7000 RPM and I expect to trap 132 - 134.
Just a little FYI.

This perplexes me.
I believe your claimed times should be the ones you can pull onto a strip and run at anytime. If you run 91 octane everywhere but the track, claim the 91 octane times. To claim the 11.7, you should include an axiom including "on race fuel with more boost". Getting beat, then pointing out your "low boost" doesn't reflect very well on the driver IMO. Just say "ya beat me, good run". The STI is fast, and I had to respect it for going up against a 550rwhp stroker, but it made me sad when I read the "disclaimers".

Stop making ricer excuses though.
You lost because our car is slower. Its not as fast. Its slower than a Camaro stock, and its slower when you mod it.
Thats why you lost. Not because you were "low on boost dawg"

Either way, you run what you brung. If it wasnt enough, bring more next time or go home.

My original post was to point out the striking fact that a turbo car beating nearly always has an aisde including something about "low boost", or "pump gas", or "my sister was in the backseat".

And I'll say it again, I like/respect the STI. Any car that can do a limiter dump on the street and hook is enough to make any RWD cringe, no matter what it is or how much power it makes. My hat is off to you by stepping up against a 550rwhp car.
I'm just tired of hearing about "low boost".
