Default Just raced a 07 STI

I finally raced my friend that has an 06 or 07 STI i dont know which its brand new either way. He did full exhaust from turbo back, BOV and some computer tuning handheld i think. It was strickly a drivers race i got the jump both times out of the hole and we stayed even after them i didnt pull away and he wasnt catching me. I think he might he got me with a good launch but it would have been CLOSE. My car has lid and exhaust on it.

He probably has a Cobb Tuner.

If that's the case, he can't drive, because 07 STIs have potential.

Isnt the EJ25 really sensitive to A/F ratio changes? I thought awhile back import tuner or super street melted a piston by bolting a CAI on one? If thats true than I would say the potential isnt that great. LOL

Nice kill.

Your friend needs a drving lesson or two though. Especially is you bet him out of the hole with a RWD car, either way nice kill.

No more sensitive than any other car. But when you have tests done by shitty magazines like that, what can you expect.

Well, Subaru motors are definitely more sensitive than the 4G63 Evo motor... but they can still make good power with bolt ons, just like an Evo can

nice, i can't wait to be on the other side of the fence and race one of these new turbo cars. I used to have a turbo dsm so it'll be interested to race em with a v8 now.

Either way, those subaru's are ugly as hell. But to each his own I guess. Some men find other men attractive...i look at it the same way as that.

You guys think that the '06/'07 imprezas are ugly, just wait for the '08.

Nice kill.

Tell your buddy to pull the bov and put the stock bpv back on. It is making his car slower. He needs to learn how to launch too, if you were getting him out of the hole.. he sucks. For the record, I cut a 1.7 60ft on a stock '04 STi with all season tires.
