You're not going to have to worry about a GTO killing you from a dig...
GTOs can hit low 13s but again, launching it is not the easiest thing to do

Those are by far my favorite Subarus. But, having said that, I never had a clue that they were that quick. I know you have a few mods, but thats just it, a few. Good run......

yea if i could get my launch perfected. i find it much more difficult to get a good launch out of an AWD car than a RWD. but what kind of quarter mile times do stock goats mostly hang around? low 13s?

From what I see, if you would have went from a dig, this would have been a kill story. Nice race though, the close ones are the most fun.

I think that subaru uses flat engines in all their cars. I have seen flat sixxes in outbacks and forresters I believe. I know that the WRX and STI both use flat 4s.

Can you explain this to me. How could it possibly be harder to launch a AWD vs a RWD car???? As I was told all you have to do is rev it up and drop the clutch right??? I konw that **** breaks very quickly and easily when you do 5 million 5k launches but, that the only reason why I could understand you saying that. Unless your talking about it being hard to launch the car right and not just dumping the clutch because in that case I could see it being more difficult but harder than RWD I don't believe.

too little power you will bogoff the line for not having enough power in backing all the tires
too much power and not only can you break things but you can make the tires slip and your RPM's get knocked down and you bog
it's very tricky to launch an AWD car contrary to popular beleif
at least this is just info that my subby doo friends tell me
