Sorry to say but for the most part I agree my mods dont add any power maybe a horse or two from the CAI and with the short throw I would say no hp or tq but with a quicker shift time it will lower my 0-60 and 1/4 time a smidge. My plugs and wires maybe a 1/2 a hp but you can't say that they have done nothing because they have done a lil. As for my 0-60 and 1/4 time stock my car runs a 7.3 0-60 not 8.0 and mid to high 15's not low 16's. I will argue that til I die and I will argue it more when srping comes and I take my car to the track and show you a time slip!

this kids buddy have a stock 2002 tauras he is like yea it is a dohc 24v and I bet on a good day it would hang with you maybe beat you. I started laughing since they run 8.0 0-60 and 16.1 1/4.
So do you. You do know your mods dont give you any power right
I have a v6 too. Thats how I know they arent too fast. high 15 at best

I think he's talking about a WRX, not an STi. Can you clarify that for us Torch?

ouch, anyways I found it for myself they not only weigh less than my car but they also have 227hp and 217 tq ouch for me
Actually, after re-reading that post I can see he is talking about the WRX, not the STi. The WRX is a mid 14 second car, The STi is in the 13's.

yea sorry it is just a WRX NON STI I wouldnt even try if it was a STI I would just let him be completely glorius for the faster car in school. But you think it wont be as bad if I do it from a roll??? Also what speed do you guys htink cuz he is stock. My 2nd gear pulls pretty hard and with my steeda in I will hit third perfect and quick and third and fourth pull hard aswell so maybe from a 35-40 what do ya think? There is also a GTP he is not stock however dont know what he has but what PSI do they run stock cuz he is running 8psi is that stock?

OBTW the thing that I have to lose is some of my pride. He is just a rich lil woodbury kid who mommy and daddy bought his car for and he is a junior in high school I am a senior and have had to pay for EVERYTHING to me this means if I lose hard I lose some selfrespect to this lil btch

You only lose pride if you shoot your mouth off before the race. If you take the right attitude and don't pretend your car is faster than it is, then you have nothing to lose except the race.....and racin can still be tons of fun even when you lose.

I just got my new car and it's winter so I have not had it to the track yet but I used to lose all the time in my modded '03 GT. It's no big deal. I just didn't talk a bunch of **** and claim that it was the fastest car on the planet.

I would rather play it down a bit and surprise somebody than walk around claiming I was super fast. People are always disappointed by a car when the driver has been bragging about it, even if the car is actually fast (JDaniel LOL).

yea you got a good point. Although I havent talk sh*t to him or anyone else about the GTP or the WRX cuz I know I will lose to both. Now on the other hand there is a kid who has a 97 cav with the 2.2 5speed and he has rims and exhasut and some other minor performance stuff. Now I have talked sh*t to him. I also raced him after words and handed his as* to him. Just cuz he always thought his car was fast I had to prove him wrong. Then he was like well you have a mustang you should have won. I laughed...
