There might have been some space between us but definitly not a car length. Now on the way back down the mountain I would say me and the stock STi pulled about 40-50 buslenths on you lol. I guess you gave up after your brakes started shuddering and we were to far ahead to see?

That is totally true! I didn't know the road to good and after my brakes started shuttering I decided to let off. As far as the drag racing goes it doesn't matter if it was a foot or a mile becuase I did bet you!

About time for some drilled and slotted rotors and some better pads. The brakes on my trans am are the best I've ever had. I haven't had a bit of fade or shudders or any type of a hiccup.

No I figure if we are all going to meet up sat. we'll just do it then. I think I'm going to run you first to see if I should even be lining up next him. If you beat me then there's no sense in me running him right?

Well yes and no, it would still be fun to run him win or lose. I had an absolute blast the other night even though I lost the roll race. If you run him from a roll and he gets you, then maybe we should do some real drag race's from a dig.

well we don't have either at this point... for a while there, 7Springs (the big resort in the area) had lots of snow, but the recent warm spell in the high 30's has brough rain and i doubt there's much snow left... I check the snow report daily... just can't wait to get outa again too!! I'm a skiier tho!

Nice runs. I'm surprised to see the STI keeping up that well from a roll with a GTO making 438rwhp. I make 400/367 and pulled just slightly on an 03 Evo making 38Xwhp, and I had a passenger and the Evo did not. The GTO doesn't weigh much more than me with a passenger, and he's making 38rwhp more. Not to mention the -20whp of the STI vs the Evo. Weird.
Then again, I don't know the driver situation with you guys.

the gto prob still weighs a good 250lbs more than you with a pass. and really if the evo was makin that much pwr he should have had over 400 ft/lbs and prob should have been even or edged you out. but who knows. alot of crazy outcomes happen on the street

I wasn't given it any slack! I was actually getting alittle wheel spin from second to third but stayed in it. If the runs get any closer Im going to order a wet kit.

Seems like everybody is claiming huge hp #'s and "only" xx psi. Hell I don't even want to claim 360whp even tho I have a mustang dyno slip saying that my car did pull that. My car is a very strong running car for 19psi and I attribute that to the expertise of Boxer4racing. They only look at Dyno #'s as a tuning tool, not as the end all.
Truthfully the AWD dyno's are still in their infancy and nobody really knows how much to correct for drivetrain losses. When people dump 4-6k into engine mods they don't want to hear oh you put down 300whp. So these dyno owners are influenced to correct the numbers which just hurts everybody.
