STi VS 94' LT1
 

Ah, God it was a sorry night, my friend set up a race with a 03 WRX STi tonight, we ran it from a 10mph Roll, as i nailed it in first i started spinning the tires, 1st to 2nd shift car kinda fish tails and almost nails him, 2nd to 3rd **** is where i totally FUDGE up, it keeping revving and all you hear was the rev limiter kicking in, i managed to throw it back into third and that's where he regained the 1/2 car i put on him and put about another car on me, he kept the distance all the way till about the end of 4th gear where i was slowly gaining back the distance, we go back to the spot and he's rubbing it in and what not and says "Now i want to run your boys SS ", loll man i felt so horrible because i felt really confident that i was going to at least pull on him, as far as his mods, all i heard was a BOV, he said the rest was stock........was pretty cocky for a STi owner, oh well .......time to get a real STS and not some B/s short stick and time to get those damn headers on.......thanks for reading.......had to vent:D

Do you know anything about STI's...There pretty damn potent, w/ your mods there was no way you were gonna pull on him, Id imagine he'd beat you worse thenhe did..especially w/ your bad start...I just saw one tested on Tv...ran a 13.1 stock...so w/ the bov and a good run hes probably seeing 12's.

BOV's dont really do anything for the STi except make noise...

The they do get massive gains from boost control and a turbo back exhaust.

With this setup they run mid 12's all day many clicking off sub 1.7 60 ft's...

Even stock the torque band on this car is incredible for a 2.5 litre engine. From <3500 rpms to redline you get 300 lb/ft of torque there is no torque curve once the turbo kicks in it is more like a torque plateau.

yeah, STIs are fast

wouldnt mess with one

Yes, I do know a good amount about them, from a roll they're not that bad to overcome. Well, it is good that I hung only half car away, damn newer 4banger turbo's are giving us damn good competition, Oh well ... time to stick the juice back in...:D thanks for reading.

from a 10 roll taking away his AWD luanch u should be right with him, AWD is the only reason that car does low 13's if u did a easy luanch the times might be as high as a 14

10 roll is like a dip...

i can floor it at 20-25 and still break loose

so can anyone, and what does that haft to do with what i siad?

I don't think a stock LT1 is going to take an STI even from a roll. They have a higher redline to carry out the torque further and weigh less.

They trap very low 13's, even in the 12's sometimes, so even taking away the 1.8-1.9 60' time they get, they would still get mid - high 13's. Still faster than a stock LT1.

They also trap higher speeds, which also shows they are a little faster from a roll.

I still wouldn't buy one. F-body for me, all the way.

They won't totally walk an LT1, but they should pull slowly.

:confused: what are u talkin about, the car has 300 hp, what u just said is the same as saying a LS1 runs low 13's cause it has a 350..a sti will pull a fairly stock LT1 from a roll..run what ya brung..and a sti brings 300 hp plus awd

Eh I dont like imports at all although a STi isnt really a civic or something there is a crap load of technology under the hood and there had better be for what the damn car costs.. Just my .02 though..


Better Luck next time,

ur taking me out of context they run good 1/4 times b/c of there luanch race them from a roll there nothing special

A STI Vs. a CAI/Header LT1 from a roll...the LT1 should pull it from a roll - eventually. I'd think it would be a decent race to 90 or so.

STi's run 12s stock, no the turbo is not small and it is very powerful. A slightly modded STi can run upwards of 160mph, and they can launch like a motherfuc*er!
