ok, so i only read the first page but here's what i'll say.
someone said that stock STI's have 260AWHP... that's bull ****. AWD suffers around a 27-30% loss to the tires. stock 300hp STI's have around 215-225 to the wheels. Your car is lighter by about 400lbs too. 2900ish to 3300ish. Stage 2 Cobalts will beat a stock STI hands down from a roll. I've even seen it from a dig because most STI owners don't know how to launch. and even if they do, if you know how to launch your SS, you can still make a 2.1-2.2 60ft. with stage 2... even his 1.8 60ft wont match up to your FWD power in the top end. plus he paid like 12-15k more than you.
I owned an STI... i like the cobalt better.

they have a better gear ratio in the 07's. yes, low 13's are out of reach of a stage 2 SS, but stage 2 wtih DR's will most likely still win less weight, more WHP means cobalt is faster.

I wanted to race him. the guy with the rsx-s is that guys friend and he was sitting at the finish line.
#125
yeah he is. thats the same **** they pulled with me. i smoked the rsx and i told the mustang owner to run em. he finally agreed. actually what happened was he got about a car and a half jump on me, then i creeped past him at like 100, then a rabbit got in my lane so we couldnt really determine who won. but it would of been close.
