It is funny when I say it in person, face to face. But online saying "BLOW ME" to another guy is lame, immature, unintelligent. But hey I realize that I made you feel dumb for comparing Nascar to ricers racing from a roll for that I apologize, please continue TRYING to be funny and thinking roll racing is cool.

They are doubting the capabilities of the STi driver. It happens in every war story. Don't sweat it.

yeah it sucks when people doubt. you can have video proof interviews with the drivers and those that support them and were there. pro tuners with dyno sheets and math comparisons but people will always doubt the abilities of the car or driver or conditions or gas or age or lighting or anything they can just so the winner is not declared the winner. yet at the end of the day they will always believe a magazine without any doubts.

oh well but you have your time slip with the 15.1 right? maybe you can scan it and post it up so others with the same type of car can have some goals to reach.

Don't forget 3 forms of government ID, an officer to verify the IDs, and each driver's grandmother to verify the driver's.

Honestly in this race, I do have to question the driver's capabilities just going by the dig race.

Magazine racing FTL!

and we all know dynos are the end of all ends to whether or not a car is fast because they are 100% correct and never wrong even 1%. oh and btw, if your buddy is running a BOV, first off that doesnt do anything for power, and from what ive heard subie's need to recirc. that gases and not blow them off

roughly. last night at the track cobalt_supercharged and I spoke with hard core sti and evo tuners and even they said that they aren't putting much down to the floor stock unless they get the cars tuned. they had an evo there with stock components except for the clutch a turbo back and a motech tune that was hitting 11's. They were also showing off one of their sti's that they were going to sell later that night to a buyer that was watching. Stock they said it only put out a dyno of roughly 228 awhp and they said it was common. they tuned up the sti with only a few upgrades plus the motech tune and it was hitting 12's. for evo and sti tuners to admit dyno results with relatively low numbers is shocking in itself but reality sets in and the deciding factor in nearly all cases is the awd capabilities of the cars.

There is no way an STi with a BOV and a magnaflow dynoed 328 to the wheels.

They put down 230-250~ to the wheels stock (AWD dynos are all over the place, I have personally seen as high as 270, which is clearly too high and as low as 225 which is too low). A catback will add nothing and a BOV does nothing except make the car run rich in between shifts.

so i suppose the guy with the sti stopped his smack talking... good races man! i just raced a mildly modded sti on sunday from a roll and it was pretty close, but he never was a full car length ahead of me, my front bumper was right behind his rear wheel and he wasnt pulling away. i need that 2.8" pulley so bad. did u put that pulley on at the same time as the tune or just right b4? cause i like to hear feedback as much as possible about it
