Full bolt on camaro SS vs modded impreza sti hatchback

[rontammy0]

A stock camaro v6 will not outrun a wrx sti stock vs stock. Both run common low 14s with the sti in the 13.9 more often then the camaro. It would be a very close race

AWD cars suffer at top speed, especially the sti and evos. We aren't talking 1/4 miles which a stock sti can do high 12 to low 13s. I haven't seen a stock sti do 14s here in Florida.

A 60 roll? Simple physics would indicate he won. He had you beat on weight, HP and gearing. He knew full well he would gap you with a 1 second start from a 60 roll, catching him would be near impossible. Your only chance in that scenario would have been with 3.91 gears starting in 3rd. If you ask him for a 40-45 roll he'll likely refuse.

Not enough to get upset over honestly, unless you got offended that he set up the race in his favor. You have the better vehicle, learn from it.

From what Ive seen stock stis are mid 13 second cars and up. 12.9 from a stock car is something ive never seen. You havnt saw one in the 14s.....i havent seen one in the 12s. And dont think I didnt catch your Florida jab as I sit here with freezing rain pouring down......bastard.

Yeah man, the others are pretty spot on. I thought it was stock when you mentioned it, therefore it was a little fishy you lost. But if he has all of that money dumped into it starting at a 60 roll, I'm honestly not surprised. As the others stated, his car has you beat on weight, drivetrain, and gearing most likely. He could have easily gained another 100HP out of that set up and has you beat by probably 400lbs. Only making 20-30 more HP than him at that weight disadvantage, it truly is a drivers race, especially if he set up a 60 roll in his favor. Whoever pulled first would have stayed ahead and kept it that way. Dont be upset you lost. Instead, try again from a 40-45 roll. That should give you the upper hand

It is still in the 80s here, I can't wait for a little cold.
I think they run that low here because of low elevation. My friend ran 12.9s all day at the track in his stock sti. AWD really helps on take off so does low elevation. Stay warm.

Sounds about right. he pulled ahead first and kept it that way. he wasnt pulling away and i wasnt closing the gap.
ive been trying to find him again for revenge but no luck yet.
im hoping for a 3 horn honk next time, instead of him taking tf off without warning
