I'm sure his car, since I've rode in it, is definately capable of 7's in the 1/8th. He pulls my car on the highway, so his topend is definately strong. I can't tell you the mods he has on it other than the front mount which is obvious. He like to keep things on the downlow for some reason. I respect those wishes.

He was tuned prior to the intercooler needless to say, so he's off but not crazy off. He doesn't run the stock turbo and has upgraded everything appropriately needless to say, but that's about as far as I'll go into his mods. From a roll or a dig, the car is damn quick needless to say. It's just need that retuning for the last few mods that were put on because anybody that has dealt with Scooby's know how they like to be PIG RICH!

I'm just saying, alot of people i know think sti's and evo's are the gods of the 1/4 mile and they are not at all. handling even 300whp on a 4 cylinder is an achievement, but those arent the cars you want if you want straight line performance over handling. that's all im saying.

Its fourth gear when my car falls on its face. I raced a stage 2 redline with i/e and of course i got him off the line but then i stayed ahead without him pulling on me until fourth gear. At which point he started gaining on me pretty damn quick. He ran like 13.85 at like 104 and i ran a 13.6 at 100 so definetly if it went another quarter mile he would have been way ahead of me.
This was at the track by the way.
