if the mach doesnt spin and keeps traction you may be right, but the only way to know is to try, and i havent tried, im just paper racing.

Idk what u guys are talking about. I have an n/a 2v and STI's are no problem lol. . . But i think any STI would have trouble trying to beat up on Chewies Mach. I think once the suspension ad traction issues are worked out the STI's dont have much left

STI's are definitely quick cars. They will give a Mach a run for its money especially from a dig. With traction, the Mach should win though.

With the mods in your sig STI's shouldn't be a problem...

I mean the STI's are a quick car but the more I read this thread and the more I think about it the Mach should get it...

I got the chance to run one at the track today. Here are the stats...
2005 Bone stock STI Vs. Me
STI's 60 foot was 1.97
My 60' was 2.0
STI 1/4 Mile was 13.74 at 100.20mph and 1/8th was 8.84 at 80.37mph
My 1/4 mile was 13.26 at 107.32 and 1/8th was 8.66 at 85.10 mph
This is where I catch him...
STI's 330 ft was 5.76 and my 330ft was 5.74
Since I am not bone stock, this particular race was in my favor, so I feel it's worth pointing out my best time when I was stock was 13.65 at 105 mph with a 2.1 60 foot. Also, I have seena STIrun 13.5 stock with 30 day tags, but still had a low trap speed of 100mph.So, from my current experience with them, the STI jumps out by about half a car from a dig, but get's reeled in almost right away. They run similiar ETs but always have a much lower trap speed. I say anything past 330 ft, the STI will get passed. With all that crap typed, it's a toss up on the street from anything under 35mph. Stoplight to stoplight STI>Mach 1.

The higher traps shows that it will pull the STI in a roll or a full out drag. The STI's can launch so well with their AWD as you can see with the ET. Mach>STI in general.
