Default sti vs me!

You'd probably hang with one pretty well right now as is, because you have the right suspension / tire mods. I guess it depends on how much power that handheld tune gave you.

I'm pretty sure an 04 STi can't run 13.1 stock....more like 13.8 I believe....

Well you're putting down more whp than a stock STi and you've got the suspension to back it up. As long as you're a decent driver you'd probably be pretty close with one. As long as it's not wet on the road =P

The newest WRX has run a best of like 13.5 bone stock. They're definitely underrated. The STi gearing holds it back in the quarter mile. Why? It's set up for what it was designed for: rally racing. You usually have to shift into 5th gear in the 1/4 in an STi.

are you referring to the sti running 13.5 stock or is that just the wrx running 13.5 now?
