Highway race - SS/SC vs 04 STi

Today on my way home from work, on the Hardy Toll road I ran into a 04 STi, for a while he acted like he didnt want to race, but after about 5-6 miles of me enticing him he finally took off he was a good 5 car lengths behind me when he took off. I didnt go till he was already passing me. I ended up topping my SS/SC out at 143mph and for those of you from Houston, you know how many curves are on this road. He was barley pulling on me. We went about 3 times from about 80mph till top speed and continued to go. I thought that I was going to loose alot worse than I did. I dont think he ever even pulled a car length on me all three times.

i always thought that the STi would pull way harder than the SS, but i have heard these stories a lot. i personally have never raced one, but it seems like in stock form they arent too much faster(in straight line that is...).

prepare to get bitched at on here for going so fast...

Well, he only has an intake and exhaust....and even then in his sig, it says "ordered" so he probably doesn't have them on yet. The sig states stage 2 in the future and a 2.8 inch pulley so it sounds like he's still stock.

ok...so your saying he's going to beat an STi with an intake and exhaust? Maybe with Stage 2 and a HEADER (we only have 1 )But not with just an intake and exhaust...NOOB

What about from a roll? Would the evo pull hard from it? I want to know because I raced my friends evo 9 mr from 35 to 110 and I was about 3-4 feet behind his bumper.

Who cares they both have around 300 hp and we are rated at 205! Thats 95 hp right there! Its pretty crazy that we only get beat by these cars instead having our asses handed to us.

Well I think a stock STI will only inch on me slightly, at most have half a car length on me.....But it will be hard to find a stock STI that will go from a roll.

Well are you taking into consideration track times? Bone stock vs. bone stock in the 1320? If you can break into the 12s bone stock Id be very impressed, but to date, I havent seen it. Another thing I noticed is that you are focused on hp #s only. Well, theres a little more to racing than that(weight, aero, DRIVER, etc.). Oh and as far as "factory rated hp", the SRT-4 is rated at 230hp 250tq, do you know what they dyno at?

Yeah, dig vs. AWD sucks. I get raped at the track. I would love to cut a >2.0 60'. But I still agree from a dig is the way to race.

Ur joking right?! Average stock STI puts down 241 at the wheels. Mine put down 231 at the wheels stock. From a roll its not that fast.
