Default My 98 GT vs STI

So I was driving along minding my own business last night, when some idiot in a jetta 1.8T kept tailgrabbin my ***. he makes the mistake of doing a flyby on a silver STI, and a couple lights later i find the STI sitting all alone. so i pull up beside him. only a few seconds before the green, and neither one of us launched. i think i kinda got the jump on him anyways though. well up to about 110 in 4th i put a few cars on him. considering my cars power is about 30 hp less than where it should be, i was happy. had we both launched it would have been a much more interesting race.

i find this hard to believe. if you DID in fact beat him, you must be one hell of a driver.

Good kill. I have yet to run an STI. I tried to play with a silver one on the highway, but he didn't bite.

You jerk, hes head/cammed/full bolt of GT. He has MORE power than a stock STI. Quite a bit more. If the STI doesnt have the advantage on the jump, he SHOULD win. I find it very easy to believe. Great kill man, I love your car.

I wasn't being a jerk...I just said that I find it hard to believe due to the STI's awd. Calm down.

Good kill.

Good kill.
AWD loses it's advantage on soft launches. If the guy launched his STI at 5000 rpm, then yeah he would have gripped and pulled.
