RE: I have a problem...STI
JAP CRAP AWD's like the STI can suck scissors for all I care... [sm=shootshoot.gif][sm=rant.gif] Anyway Im not a fan of it, but a little juice would be the quickest and cheapest way to leave them in the dust for sure[sm=nxsmile.gif].... I personally find that my exhaust scares them off pretty good. Its so loud and ear piercing that they are intimidated a good amount of the time to even think they can take on my stang.

Not really!!!
I think you will need a forced air induction system...
I had the pleasure of sitting at a stop light next to one about a year ago...
If I didn't have a Saleen Supercharger and 3.73 gears, he would have eaten me for breakfast, lunch and dinner...
With the weight difference between our cars, he was a fast little sushi!!!

It's lighter and has the same horsepower with AWD. My friend has one, it's a fast little beast. With just an exhaust and tune they break 360hp pretty easily so I'm told. Though they lose more getting it to the wheels, the AWD just sticks and goes. I'm not sure you'd ever catch one off the line without spending more money than it's worth. Catch one rolling and it may be a different story.

from what i understand, you should be able to take him at a stop unless he REALLY knows how to launch. from a roll i've heard they can get you. i've never raced one personally though and if i did i'd get my @ss handed to me because i'm only a 6er
