what do us turbo guys have to do to beat an 09 sti probably from a roll? would an intake and tune put us up there?

sti's are great off the line but have shitty top end. a tune would be perfect to take him. he might go ahead at first but you'll be able to catch him

Probably could beat one stock... I don't know what the difference is between the 08 and 09's is HP wise though, if any... but my Stg2 SS/SC would walk an 08 pretty good last year.

yup.....they are slow because of the added weight. You'd rape one in the twisties too.

The Sti's are not that much faster then the WRX's now....you should be able to beat one pretty soundly with just a few extra horses.

That's because the WRX's got faster though... not because the STi's got slower. Haha.

WTF does everyone race from a roll? Real racing is from a dig and an STI stock would rape your car from a real race (DIG)

sry son, you have much to learn, take a look at the Subaru forum, an 05 STI with 100octane tune ran 13.04@104.99MPH. Then you take a look at the best run from a stock ss/tc and he did 13.56@104.35MPH........so lets make things equal and get a stock ss/tc with a 100octane tune and run the 1/4 mile against an STi with a 100octane tune........ that would be a sweet vid FTW

STI forum 1/4mile list

CSS.NET list

wanna make things more even? give the cobalt slicks to make up for no awd

not sure about the STI, but the new EVO has nothing for us on the highway... He did a ricer fly by, his tan can farting the whole time, and, all stock, i caught up to him, and we went for 55 to 120 and he was in my mirrors the whole time... I don't know what would happen from a dig though... I want to find out!

real racing is a track that consists of everything pushing any car to its limits not just showing off its strong points

how bout how the Cobalt ss/tc beat the 05 STI around the nurburing by five seconds, and the funny thing is the 8:22 lap time you will see for the ss/tc was on a wet track.

But that's not the actual record setting lap, just a fast lap

It didnt beat the STI in the nurburgring...I cant believe it beat the 350Z though holy ****. That car was designed from the ground up to be a handling/fast car. It beat the S2000 too jesus. How does FWD do that?

the SS/Tc also raped the new EVO MR at Laguna Seca. People underestimate the abilities of this little chevy. Ownage.

all the fanboi's are in for a rude awakening.
