what is a strong point for the sti???? i will race however he wants to race i dont care if my car is faster or not i just want to see what it can do .... that is all ..... i still think i have a really good chance of taking the sti....

if he wins his car is faster .... if i win my car is faster or i am just a better driver...

like i said i will race from a dig then a roll

and my guess is that you win the roll, he wins the dig

You guys really need to cut this roll crap out, it is embarrassing. Stop being too scared to ask for SPACE. I race stock Cobras, STIs, EVOs, LS1/2, etc... from a dig for cash, I just ask for SPACE. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

from a dig, 5-10mph roll, then from a 2nd gear roll ... let him decide the speed so he can choose his optimal range.

sorry street race god

superSS/SC

Why be sarcastic???

I am trying to educate the younger crowd on how not to be ricers.

cobaltstg2

ok just let him pick the race .... sorry i dont race for money ... my car is not that fast i can only trap 101 in the 1/4 so i dont plan on racing a cobra .... this race here is just for the fun i just wanted to see what all of your inputs are on the subject ... i plan to race him at 3:30 on friday after he gets out of school so i should have a post around 4 ish how it went

haha thats funny! although he was rude, he is half way right here. asking for space is a great approach as well, if you dont wanna do roll races. see how many cars you have to have before you can take him. but again, some people really prefer roll racing, especially if they are in a spot where its hard to stop.

i raced the sti i was talking about earlier this week ... and the outcomes are as follows..

from a dig the sti won but not by much i was at his rear bumper hangin in there i got a descent lauch too....

from a 35 roll i won by a car in half ... i put 2 cars on him right away then he started catching up with me around 60 we shut them off at 85...

from a 5 roll i still won but was only by a half car length this was the most excting one of all

thanks to all you for helping me with your tips on how to out smart the sti.....

2 out 3 wins isnt bad.... i need to practice some more b4 i go after him again

More_BoostSS

no need to make a new thread. merged the new thread w/ the old one.

cobaltstg2

thanks

Mines_Better

the roll races i expected. now the dig race was a complete surprise to me. i figured he would have won by more. he might not know how to launch or you are just that good. haha! good stuff anyhow

cobaltstg2

i am pretty good driver but he has problem with his clutch i guess... could be an excuse

so where are all you doubters now?

how do you know we are a younger crowd? yes i am younger, but my dad who is now in his 50's has been racing at the track and on the street (in his younger days) since he could drive, i asked him whether or not roll racing was just a ricer thing in his opinion and he told me the reasons did it when he was around which is where i got my info from. so i guess those camaros and other muscle cars he raced and raced against, from a roll sometimes, were rice?

superSS/SC

They were rice OR very slow. All they had to do was ask for space, instead of going from a roll. Just know that your dad is not end all source of street racing knowledge and I would venture out to say he wasn't as big a street racer as you seem to think.

ha i love how you like to jump to conclusions. i dont know how big my dad was, im not trying to brag like my dad is better than your dad or anything like that, my point is that i dont believe roll racing is rice if done in a fair manor, and i think its stupid for you to come on here and just start trying to "educate" us

superSS/SC

That is your opinion and it was your dad's opinion that it was not rice. I am still young and believe me I use to think roll racing was cool too, until I started hanging out with guys that have been street racing for a long time and race 7, 8, 9 second cars on the street and none, I MEAN NONE of them go from any speed other than zero mph.

Drag/street racing is from a dig, so set your car up to do it's best from a dig. If all you(not your particulart stu) do is race from a roll, do not confuse yourself and others and think you are really street racing... all you are doing is being unsafe and going speeds that your car and more in likely the other car have no business going.

Feel free to "THINK" this is stupid, but until there are tracks for roll racing it is fact.

campo165

i like roll racing...its fun to just have like a mustang fly up next to you then go at it...its just fun...

Doesnt nascar actually roll race. They dont go from a dig

OniMirage

you sir are correct so lot's of companies and fans of nascar promote roll races. Oh and the uh grand am cup racers also go from a roll

superSS/SC

On some street courses they go from a standing start. But for sure they do not roll race.

I have never seen dale jr or jeff gordon slow down to the same speed and then honk 3x.

For you.... return via e-mail please

sshaner

are you sure it was an sti and not a wrx? seriously or the driver had no clue how to drive, and you must have stage 45 lol and his is all stock,......

Allshot

I dont care either way. If you want to roll race and thats your thing go ahead. Oh ya superss/sc BLOW ME Hows that for funny.
