Idiot in a STI will bet me a 100 bucks to race 0 to 125!

Does he even stand a chance. His car is totaly stock, dont they run 12.9s stock? Is this guy crazy or what? What would it take to get a New STI into 11s?

Be careful with these. My wife has the regular WRX and they can be made to make insane amounts of power with a few mods. He could easily throw on a manual boost controller and you'd never know. I would race him from a stop and don't look back because he may be closer than you think.

If he truly is stock, and going by the mods on your webpage, you will destroy him. Make sure you have some good tires if you're going from a stop. Since you're racing to 125 though, I think you will pass him way before that point, even if he gets you on the launch.

The faster you go, the more of an advantage you have.

Don't know how the STi's differ, but there was a guy here with a WRX that had all the bolt ons, piggy back ecu, basically everything but a bigger turbo and he was still in the looooooooow 13s. Like 13.0s.

In any case, even if the STi is better than the WRX I don't think you'll have a problem.

94 355 Z-28 D1 @10psi+ depends on the revs, Heads, Cam

That says it all. To 125, unless you totally and I mean totally bomb the launch, you should easily be 100 dollars richer.

Sounds like this guy needs a reality check.

STI's are nice cars, but won't hang with you.

You will utterly destroy him unless he is running a huge T04 or T66

He will be in 5th gear and the highest I have seen a stock STI trap is 105.....I am sure your well into the 111-115 range so you should kill him pretty bad

Patrick kelly · 10-08-2003, 07:40 PM

run him for slips... tell him you need a good winter beater...

drewstealth · 10-08-2003, 09:03 PM

Yeah as long as you get a decent launch you will be fine. Going to 125 though i think you will take him even if your launch is crap. They do run high 12's low 13's stock but that is with a good driver. Even though it is awd, you can screw up a launch and totally bog your car.

Butterfingers · 10-08-2003, 09:26 PM

Does he know what you have?

Unless he has a garett GT series turbo or at very least a PE 1820 tuned you should not have a problem.

It probably isnt hard to get an STI into the 11's but the aftermarket hasent yet caught up to the cars potental.

It differs from the normal WRX beacuse of variable valve timing and a bigger 2.5 liter semi closed deck block with forged internals, It also has a bigger twin scroll VF series Turbo. In short the motor was made to handle some power. Some predict the motor can support upwards of 600 hp without even opening the engine.

Unless this is the guy i dont think you should have any problems...

With a 10 PSI D1, he should be trapping AT LEAST 125+. 111-115 is stock headed/cammed - mild porting and small cam LT1 territory.

Antz97ZNJ · 10-09-2003, 01:16 AM

there fast stock but w/ your mods you should crush him

95z28 -quicksilver · 10-09-2003, 03:46 AM

I think it would be close for somebody like me but you............................you are gonna **** him up!!!!! Unless he is lying about being stock but even then it would take some major boost for him to beat you..........race him. You only live once right. He will get

Well its on for sunday and now its up to 200 buucks

. Time to go buy some 110octane, and cook some rice. Not to worried about the launch I will granny it till the upper part of 2nd. I did not think this guy would stand a chance. I have told him about everyone of my mods as well, so no room to bitch. Ill let ya know monday morning...

Bluntdogg · 10-09-2003, 04:19 PM

So you told him that you have an upgraded cam, heads AND a supercharger and he still thinks his bone stock STi will beat you, to 125 no less, that badly that he is confident enough to raise the bet another $100??! Jesus christ please destroy this retard. I hate people that have absolutely no knowledge about others cars on the road and think that their brand new car is suddenly the fastest thing on the planet.
