Had some fun the other night don't have all the videos but I beat two focus ST's and a CSRT4.



Me and the ST's have run several times the one up front racing the csrt in the video has beat me twice from a dig due to me not knowing how to drive but when I hook I am able to put a couple cars on him from a dig.

Listen to this guy and your car will feel totally different. After he's done with your car, u will fall in love with your car all over again....

After a good tune you'll be playing with 5.0 mustangs and camaro SS!

Im guessing those STs are stock as well lol. If you were tuned, youd be passing them like a Formula 1 car

I saw a meme yesterday about Focus ST's walking people. I've never seen a fast one. When I had my Cobalt I was at a meet and a bunch of ST boys were talking **** and I asked to run them and they asked what I had done to it lol.

Well, there is one ST where I live that is decently quick. However, he was on an e blend though. I believe he said e30. I was term tuned zfr fully bolted on 91 pump and I only got him by a car and a half. So idk about u guys but that's pretty impressive to me. He also said he was still stock turbo. Just bolt ons, e blend, and tune. However, if I was to get on e... it will be like KMO43 handing out buss passes. U know what I mean! Lol

I dont give the ST's a time of day. My buddy is putting down modded St's with his k24 swapped N/A EK hatch civic.

St's are slow, stock turbo can't even get them very far. And according to a guy I work with who has rebuilt a few ecoboost motors, he says the motors suck, just badly designed. And break a lot

If your on a ZFR and he was on a k03, and you only managed to keep a car and half length ahead, theres something wrong with your car. Doesnt matter if he was on E30, ST's are not even capable of hitting 300+ whp on the stock k03 turbo. Id expect you to be at least 350whp on 91 octane with a mild tune.

I agree. Even on 91 my 20 psi tune on the EFR was 360 whp 320 wtq.

Well, it all goes back to the he said she said thing. I was term2 tuned and we did a 40 roll so not much error to make there on my side of the equation. Lol unless he wasn't stock turbo, etc... because I didn't know him so maybe he wasn't being completely truthful about what he has done to his car? Idk, but those were the results that night n Term had a ramp on my tune to save the tranny.

Hey quick question, so I know u sold ur old zfr balt n got an STI but y do Evo's and STI's still want to race on rolls when they're making decent power? There's a lot Evo's n STI's that are fully bolted on e that don't want to race from a dig because of "powertrain issues" they said something about weak clutch and transmissions or something like that so until it gets upgraded they only do rolls. It's pretty silly to me. You buy an awd car n then mod it to do roll races only?

WRX Guys hate Digs because their 5 speed is as shitty as the Cobalts is.

STi transmission is nearly indestructible. plenty of 1000 whp cars running the stock transmission that have no problems.

Sounds to me like those guys hate launching, cause launching an AWD car sucks ass. You can't just dump it, it bogs like all hell...you have to ease into it.

Evo guys have shitty T-cases so thats why they dont launch.

Damn, it almost sounds like rwd is better to go if you don't wanna mod your stock drivetrain. Lol

user 72239

Or use Cobb's Flat Foot Shifting AKA NLS and Launch control

Then its pretty much GG on an AWD launch.

ae_xiong

iTrader: (3)

Nice... yea, I was gonna say, Y would u even buy an awd car then if u can't even launch it?

KMO43

Déjà vu. Seems like I read this in another thread somewhere
