Default Sti?

hey does anyone know how fast the new sti is from a roll? i know that they are awd and that will hurt their performance from a roll, but they look pretty fast still. the reason i am asking is because i am getting ready to buy one. My brother has a 2006 mustang gt and i am wondering if the subie would be able to hang with him from a roll.

thanks

Drivers race from a roll.

Sti = (Negative) Awd
Sti = (Positive) 300 hp
Sti = (Positive) Lighter

I think it's pretty even.

Hi! Just got home from the barrrr....happy St. Patty's Day!

To be quite honest, the GT will have a slight advantage from a roll. Unless:

1) It's raining
2) It's snowing
3) Your brother sucks at driving!

The STi will have a huge advantage in the twisties and will overall be a more fun car to drive. You won't regret it!

+1 on everything except the fun to drive part. There are no "twisties" around here so that would be useless. Plus you can do donuts so much easier with a RWD car, you can drift and do burnouts...I would burn my car for an STi though so that might make you feel better[8D]

Why are you guys talking about racing from a roll? Roll racing sucks, just race from a dig. From a dig, after you figure out how to launch the car you will beat him by about2 or3 cars. The 05+ GT's when equipped with a manual can hit 13.5's, so if your brother isa pretty good driver than it will be a decent race.

After his S/C upgrade you are gonna be toast. You'll need to upgrade your turbo and and get some bolt ons mods to have any chance.

Yep, just do a tuned 20G or GT35R setup and you'll be back in the game with him ^_^
