Man you dont know what hell your talking about. Theres this place called nasioc, you should check it out sometime, and learn some **** about your car so you dont have to make stuff up and sound dumb.

well first of all you said, "the 04-05's had 40 more hp!" like it was the word of god, and it is just plain wrong. Second of all, a compression test is not gonna tell you if you have aftermarket pistons lmao. You may own an sti, you just need to learn about it man BIG TIME.

im was saying a compression test because more than likly since its running 20psi, it was modded and if they knew what they were doing they would lower the compression from 8:2:1 to something lower

Soooo...good job. (I wud give u a but u were driving a WRX lol j/p)

I agree 100%. Sorry but I have to call BS. No wrx sti even with some bolt on will take a Z06 untill you do a turbo swap, front mount and some other things. Even then...

Now if you would of been in the cobalt I would not of called BS!

why would you even think about going lower than 8.2:1? and i think the stock sti bottom end is good to over 400awhp...you would know if you were pushing that much.

omg no wonder these stories are so far-fetched, this was probably like...a c5, a blown Rsx and a 90's viper or something...still not bad kills even if thats what they are, but you gotta get ur facts straight dude!

yea, but a built motor would not go below 8.2:1, that's just not plausable imo. I'm not trying to be mean here dude, but you should like...make sure of these things before you post them. Now for all we know this could have been an automatic c6 which is a TOTALLY different car than a z06 and a plausable kill.

it could have been a c5. it was for sure a boosted nsx, but like i said rev limiter every gear. and i never said the viper was new, it was an old one bright red with the ugly 3 spoke rims. i should have been more clear maybe?

it was manual also cause like i said he missed a gear when he was speeding off

the viper was probably mid-early 90's then which is more beleivable, the nsx...are you sure it was boosted, or did he just tell you that, cause even hitting the rev limiter every gear, he should have pulled on you hard. He would usually run right next to you stock for stock, but boosted he should just FLY past you. And if the vette wasn't a z i beleive it.

Ive raced a STI with Cobb Intake, and 18-20psi and I put 4-5 car lengths on him with a full tank of gas and another person (200+lbs) in my car, spinning off the line and this was only from 0-100ish mph. Thats not even a full 1/4 mile race for me so I would have just kept pulling. My car runs low 12s high 11s all day long wich would put that STI in the high 12s with a good to average driver. So even with those mods on that STI there would be a VERY slim chance of you beating a Z06 or Viper even with poor drivers.

Edit: Didn't get those last posts.

Trust me you didn't race a C6 either because those cars run very well. It was most likely a C5 which would be about right since they run mid-low 13s as far as the Viper it would have had to been a Gen 1 and then it would have been a drivers race.

Wow I cant believe people are buying this. How many times do you go out and in such a short stretch see a viper,NSX boosted at that, and a Z06 or whatever kind of vette it was or wasnt. If someone had a boosted NSX dont you think they would know a little more than to bounce off the rev limiter in every gear? There are a lot more holes in the story than that but bottom line BS..... all of it. I hope your kidding cuz its got me laughing

Right I totally believe that, ive been out to Carmel in Cali and a few other places with cars like that but to drive around for 2 hours and get nothing and then all the sudden bam three very quick cars is just a lil fishy along with the rest of the story. I also wasnt there so it all may have happened and im completely wrong, but my instinct on this one says BS.

in a way i sorta agree with you, but there are alot of very wealthy areas that many people don't know about. Most people have never heard of birmingham michigan, but madonna has an apartment there, alot of extremely wealthy people have homes there, and anyone from that area knows, if you roll in front of the uptown palladium 12 movie theater on a weekend night and look at the valet parking spaces across from it, almost every car there will be over 100k. Aston martins, amg's, ferraris, lambos, you name it, one will be there at least once a week, its rediculous. So i understand why you are skeptical and i am also, i'm just saying it's possible.
