I went to the races last night and owned me a modified sti. The guy thought he was all bad-ass. well we lined up and he got me on the launch, well i quickly caught up and smoked him by atleast five car lengths. and the races were out in the desert so there was no people to hurt. someone did hit a coyote though

what mods on the STi?

i asked him after the race and he said he had cai, headers, cat-back and pulleys

someone did hit a coyote though

:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

haha, nice kill man, sti's are pretty tough, i knew he would get ya off the launch, but good job puttin him in his place since he was talking shit

yeah sti's are quick, nice kill though

The dude that hit the coyote had a turbo integra, it screwed his front end up some.

Yeah it was a integra smokey, i thought i saw you there. i bet you that guy was pretty pissed off.

Shoulda said...

"Dude oh my GAWD... what did you do to your Integra... I want to do that to my car that is soooooo coool, I'll bet no one messes with you with those badass stickers on your car now, huh???"

Whoa Smokey was there? Did you race him?

Also anyone know what HP/TQ ratings STi's have?

No smokey and i didn't race, we've raced once and i took him. but his whole front end looked pretty bloody

Also anyone know what HP/TQ ratings STi's have?

dunno what year the one was he raced but the 2k4 models had a 13.4 1/4, 2.11 60', and 300 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 300 lb ft @ 4,000 rpm according to http://www.ridgewaybodies.com/sti/

i believe the sti's stock are 300hp and 300tq and it weighs 3351


you got to it before me

Whoa, pretty good values man.. Early torque and HP late for when you need it.

Yeah it's pretty fast but not fast enough. he took me on the launch but i quickly caught him and passed him, you have god to love v8 power

amen to that man... you took smokey? you definately have my respect

Sti's are no push overs, so anyone who is able to take one from off the line (where they have the advantage due to AWD) is definetly making some impressive numbers. Kudo's boys.

I can't take them off the line yet. I know guys here getting STOCK ones to a 1.7 60 foot. It takes EVERYTHING my car has to catch that by the end of the 1/4.
I have seen them run 13.6 at 96 MPH here. Crazy off the line, terrible up top.

But I kill them from a roll.

Yeah whats with that? Early peak I guess..

AWD launch owns me.

Thats impressive. Sti's arn't cheap either. Seems like he should've been keeping up better with the upgrades he did have. Pushing out almost 300 hp stock. Nice kill for sure..

Oh i forgot to mention i just added a nitrous works gm efi nitrous kit :ylsuper: :evillol: i used a 100 shot of nitrous on that run against the sti, it was my first racing since i got it installed and it's the best bang for your buck.

I get ignored by STI's... Give me a few years and a few more grand i'll have something to show besides a clean looking car that runs low 14's.

what kind of car do you have?

1996 Eclipse GST

my buddy has a 96gst, it's pretty quick

Yeah she'll get up and go, and it will run pretty close with my mods with an almost stock 97 Z28, but there's always room for improvement.

what mods do you have because my buddy always gets owned by lt1 and especially ls1 maros

GReddy Upper and lower intercooler piping, HKS SSQ, HKS filter, HKS catback, Koni struts, Skunk2 Coilovers. 18" rims that hinder my launch.... a turbo timer...doesn't do anything for performance but it's there... And i'm getting an SAFC2 sometime this month.

STi can turn way better than a 13.6. besides the drag isnt what the STi is really built for. Lets see your IROC go off road w/ that 100 shot. Or maybe a race in the rain? No, no...you should try and race them through the turns.
Good job though. STi's are nice ass cars. expensive too. Although w/ a few mods he would be killing you....100 shot or not.

My IROC handles good especially in the turns. If you have ever driven in a camaro you would know it's like driving on rails, and i don't have a stock suspension so i handle alot better than other cars.

Exactly, Camaros arent push overs even on turns, just need a more experienced driver, thats all. Hell if STi's arent made for dragging then they shouldnt be drag racing! And NO ONE races when its wet except idiots.

Hell my Camaro can go off road.. just gotta push it. :p

that's so true what idiot races in the rain?

that's so true what idiot races in the rain?

Ive seen so many auto-x's and GT races in the rain....not everyone only drags you know. Kinda off topic but, if i was gonna run from cops. id way rather be in an STi in a heated drive than your clunker camaro. were talking a more technologically sound, safer, and IMO, better driving car vs a car that is 10+ years old and probably doesnt even have airbags or ABS. Still....the STi is WAAAAY more expensive. but for all i know you could have tons of $$$ into that IROC.

There is a reason that the camaro is considered a Icon American sports/muscle car. The majority of them out there are far from clunkers and with the strong following I am sure you know they have many keep them running in top shape. As for high speed pursuit your out of your mind if you would rather be in a STi as any one who knows anything about them or owns one will tell you they fall flat on there faces up top. They are a great car for a 1/4 or for light to light racing but far from a top speed cruiser.

your right i have tons of $$$$ in my iroc and your right if i was going to run from the cops i would rather be in a sti so when they arrest they will tow that shit away and i'll still have my camaro at home safe

your right i have tons of $$$$ in my iroc and your right if i was going to run from the cops i would rather be in a sti so when they arrest they will tow that shit away and i'll still have my camaro at home safe

:lol:
haha awesome. its good to see an owner that sticks by his car through anything.

im still gonna have to say an STi would OWN YOUR ASS in some twisties.

fall on their face??? ummm if im not mistaken a stock STi can hit 160+. find me a police cruiser that can hang w/ that. by the way...what do you think a IROC drag car is gonna have top end? redlining in the STi wouldnt be half as terrifying as it would in a hopped up RWD drag car...

Well CHP around here has a couple of ls1 camaro cruisers and they will defitnetly catch a sti on the highway

yeah but if there is alot of turns or rain/snow.....LS1 is gonna eat shit

Camaros have always been known to have good top end power, especially the ls1 maros,

I know a police cruiser.. the copmaro..

Everybody knows STi's lose their breath in the top end, because of early peak dude. Just the way it goes. Also Auto-xs and GT races dont matter, im talking about the street here dude, not races that are specifically set up to be special conditions.

hell yeah. LS1 is and always will be a freaking monster. The SS handles nice but i dont know if it can hang w/ the STi in twisties. itd be close. The STi is way easier to drive fast. For newbies AWD>RWD

well there aint no snow in los angeles so we aint got to worry about that and i seriosly doubt someone is willing to drive 160+ in the rain thats just plain suicide, it doesn't matter what kind of car you have

im pretty sure the Copmaros in florida are LT1...almost positive

I wouldnt call a car that hits 160 stock losing its breath.

im pretty sure the Copmaros in florida are LT1...almost positive

So what? even the LT1 Copmaros have 350 HP and can easily reach 160..

You should check up on electronical speed limiters, cause a stock STi first off will not hit 160 even if it had its limiter removed, second given enough room I am sure they could get going good but they do not accelerate up top like they do off the line due to AWD drag and aerodynamics.

I wouldnt call a car that hits 160 stock losing its breath.

Thats you, me i'll call it losing its breath because everyone knows they have a tough time reaching the 160 mark, much like stock LT1s, but that doesnt apply when its a cop one.. or an LT1 that breathes better.

well there aint no snow in los angeles so we aint got to worry about that and i seriosly doubt someone is willing to drive 160+ in the rain thats just plain suicide, it doesn't matter what kind of car you have

yeah that would be retarded. i wasnt really talking about doing 160 in the rain......... if i was gonna try and lose cops w/ a modded STi i would hit the turns....the SS would be screwed. Theyd better have some helicopters circlin

So what? even the LT1 Copmaros have 350 HP and can easily reach 160..

WTF????? LT1 is NOT 350 horse. LS1 is only 345. get your facts straight

yeah that would be retarded. i wasnt really talking about doing 160 in the rain......... if i was gonna try and lose cops w/ a modded STi i would hit the turns....the SS would be screwed. Theyd better have some helicopters circlin

Maybe a stock SS.. you DO know that cops have special suspension on ALL their cars right?

LT1 has 285-290 hp if im not mistaken. thats at the fly too. of course w/ bolt ons that number looks alot better....

WTF????? LT1 is NOT 350 horse. LS1 is only 345. get your facts straight

LT1 COP CAMAROS HAVE 350! LS1s get 300, Z28 and 320 SS STOCK. Get YOUR facts straight

Maybe a stock SS.. you DO know that cops have special suspension on ALL their cars right?

didnt know that. you mean all cars on the force or the camaros?

do you have any idea what kind of mods are done to the ride?

Cops got special edition 1LE LT1's and LT1's typically show 255 horse stock on dyno's for 6 speed's and 240 - 245 for Auto's anyone knowing about drivetrain loss can calculate much like the LS1 counterpart they are under rated and as for a STi , go check out how much they lose threw the AWD drivetrain. I think you will be interested to see what they deliver to the ground.

didnt know that. you mean all cars on the force or the camaros?

Only Copmaros have this done.. well all cops have the same thing done but get different results.. all cop cars get their speedometer altered, cop tires, cop suspension, and a special chip which is what boosts the LT1 HP from 270-280 to 350

LT1 COP CAMAROS LS1s get 300, Z28 and 320 SS STOCK

?? what do you mean.

so you are telling me that the cop 'maro not only has a upgraded suspension it also has work under the hood? dam.....i wouldnt want to run from that thing w/ ANY car. well.....maybe a Koenigsegg

Okay let me simple it down a bit cause that was kind of confusing..

LT1 Copmaros - 350 HP
Ls1 z28 - 300
Ls1 SS - 320

im sure the STi only has like 220 to the wheels. i know the stock WRX w/ 227 hp gets like 170 to the ground......terrible.

I wouldnt want to run from a cop maro either. their just freaking sick. plus it doesn't matter how many np/tq you have nothing can beat the radio

Rally, sorry but your not going to get 80 horse out of any chip, no matter how good it is.. The LT1 1LE cars have stuff like better flowing heads, a more radical cam, A/C delete, a less restrictive intake elbow, less restrictive exhaust manifolds/ exhaust and PCM tuning. As far as suspension, they have harder springs and shocks with larger sway bars.

Okay let me simple it down a bit cause that was kind of confusing..

LT1 Copmaros - 350 HP
Ls1 z28 - 300
Ls1 SS - 320

so its not even an SS....just a completely modified LT1. dam i would hate to try and outrun that thing.

im sure the STi only has like 220 to the wheels. i know the stock WRX w/ 227 hp gets like 170 to the ground......terrible.

damn 220 to the wheels no wonder i rapped the sti

Sure they could get that high but typical drivetrain loss for AWD is 30 - 35 %. So for a 300 horse vehicle that would be 195 - 210 but since newer vehicle usually have less loss I could see one getting 220.

Well I heard it from a cop so dont know if he was BSing or not.. :dunno:

hey IROC....how much do you have into that Z? car included

so its not even an SS....just a completely modified LT1. dam i would hate to try and outrun that thing.
Pft....what is 350 horse anymore? :icon16:
STi can turn way better than a 13.6.
Not here. Remember, I am in Colorado. Turbo cars don't suffer as bad here as the N/A cars, but they still suffer.
damn 220 to the wheels no wonder i rapped the sti
Doubt it is that low. What does it take to trap 100 MPH?? About 260 WHP.

I would own an STi. Flat out. Great cars. Quick, fairly nimble, good looking, etc....
But I still believe they are lacking top end.

Including the car and everything i've easily dropped 15k

Based on the 3200lb's it weighs and its 94 - 96 MPH trap speed that the average Sti completely stock gets. They are making between 210 - 221 Horsepower at the wheels.

Man. They trap 96 or so up here. Oh well.

Are they completely stock?. If so, thats very strange.

Man. They trap 96 or so up here. Oh well.Just as a point of reference to top speed cruising though as someone like yourself who is familiar with 1/4 mile stats. What reference does 1/4 trap speed have to the race if it went farther than the 1/4 mile. Another words, what can you tell say by a car that finishs the 1/4 at 108 - 110 MPH versus a car that traps 94 - 96 MPH. Which car will be going farther ahead say another 1/2 mile down the road.

You figure the car with the higher trap speed has more power. Of course weight does play a role. Whoevers trap speed is higher will PROBABLY be the winner in a race from a roll.

STi traps at 96 MPH and I trapped at 105 MPH. We ran about the same times. That is a ton of range there. Imagine using that power for another 1/4 mile. You would see me pulling away pretty hard after that first 1/4 mark.

Right, so for a car running on the highway trying to get away from say a state trooper or highway patrol. Would be better off with the car with the higher trap speed being that he will be reaching the faster speed sooner.

Depends on distance. Gearing would also play a role.

But overall, I would say the car with the higher trap speed.

Including the car and everything i've easily dropped 15k

hell of alot less than an STi. Still rather have the Subaru though.

DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.

An STi would be a perfect daily driver.
