I smoked a STI they other day with my 30,000 dollar supercharged 05 GT Mustang............(Beat him bye a good 2 car Lengths in the 1/4)

STI cost the guy a little over 33,000 out the door.

My 05 GT was 25,860 out the door.....5200 dollar Vortec supercharger and tune........Grand total of a little over 31,000 dollars........


Moral of the story is I payed 2000 dollars less and have a car that will kill the Best 30 grand car around.........( And my car turns heads too)(STI looks like my moms Piece of ****)


Long live American Muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Maybe it's just me, but you come off as a guy with no class at all. $30,000 Mustangvs $33,000 STI,who gives a Sh**? If you got the kill then just take the win and give him (the better driver) credit where it is due. If I had a supercharged 05 GT and was only able to get 2 car lengths on a STI, I wouldn't be bragging about anything. STI's turns heads too. They are still great cars for the money and do some serious damage once you put a few thousand dollars into them. Then you go on to say his car looks like a piece of sh**. Wow. How old are you 12? Is this your first sports car? Is this your first kill? I'm bewildered....

Very good points. Why do people bring money into everything? Who gives a **** who has more money into there car? Different cars cost more than others for a reason.

Well that STi you took from a roll was more than likely stock. Race it from a dig and it will probably put the hurt on you.

This thread is stupid there are some dumb "V8 ru13s th3r3$ n0th1ng b3t@" people in it.
there is no way in hell a stock sti will stay within 2 cars of a blown s197...bad start for the gt or not. besides the outcome of the race...it's obvious the guy was more than mildly modded (sti) by his reaction (what do you have under the hood of that beast). a stock sti and a stock s197 is a drivers race so he wouldn't have that reaction if he was stock. awd is great on the street with the assumption the driver knows how to launch...90% of them can't and the ones that do know they're risking the tranny/clutch/transfer case.

also this section's PURPOSE is to talk about races on the street/track win or lose...so stfu with your "Long live over-inflated ego's and god complexes!" type comments. redlinedrummer sweet stang and congrats on the beautiful home

I wasn't talking about the OP I was refering to redgt2000 when he said he took STi's in his stock New Edge

this thread is quite trash talking fest, eh?

and silverss06sc..ive seen so many stage 2 srt4s that struggle with getting into the 12s...and even with the stage 3, we are talking about a mid 11 second car if it has a ton of supporting mods and is well driven...so no, it wont just roll over a terminator...

although most would say that's a "ricer" arguement since very few people race through any turns....this is a member from the czech republic who had no problem passing a sti in a basically stock s197 around the track

i guess the sti driver couldn't drive right?

btw his name is airbornecz if you want to call bs on mods etc

SilverSS I know a guy who had a SRT neon with more in mods than I paid for my car. Sure he had like 450 whp but was useless. He would spin on anything under 70 mph rolls. Sure its enough to theoretically whip 95% of whats on the street but what good is it if you can't hook it? He even says it had enough to beat his 500+ camaro but he could actually launch it. He traded it for a 6.0 GTO and is more happy with it at the moment.

I doubt the STI was stock. I beat stock or stockish STI's (as long as they don't have a ton of mods) all the time (haven't raced a new one yet though). Sure they out launch me just about everytime but even before the 1/8th mark I'm usually gaining if not already ahead. I'm sure a SC stang would hand me my tail so if he only beat it by 2 then either the STI was modded or other guy just couldn't drive even then I bet it was modded.

Mods make anything happen. And with most of my mods being in the turning dept I'm not scared of them on a autox either. But its because of the mods of course and mods =$.
