FD vs new STI
Met some new friends @ the autocross in homestead speedway Its this rich chinese guy that just bought a 06 STI about 2 months ago.
OK on to the kill
We decided to do a roll @ 40 and i decided to start in 3rd. 3 honks and he got the jump on me about a 1/2 car length on me. Then my turbo got louder and i knew my boost was comming on. In 3rd when i reached 6k i started to pull on him. I changed to 4th and i got 2 car lengths within seconds and it was over from that.
BELOW IS THE PIC OF THE NEW STI I RAN (PICTURES KINDA SMALL)
Next was his brothers 03WRX. we had a open road on the freeway so unless someone makes a mistake theres no reason to say it wasent an even match. started @ 50 3 honks and we were off. i got the jump on him (about a door ) Wastegate opening loud. Shifted to 4th and he started creeping on me as if he was walking. Shifted to 5th and we were dead even on speed no one seemed to be ahead of the other. So i slowed down @ 140mph. Later as we were going to the mall i learned that the 03 WRX had 380 hp @18lbs
BTW i was running 10lbs

everything is the same except the horsepower is jumped by 10. so is the weight.
but to me it seemed slow as hell (except for the 380hp WRX). I started pulling on him before i went to 4th

Running 10 psi is retarded on a T-78. All the power on a big turbo like that is upstairs with big boost. Geezuz son, crank your boost up when you run someone. Why mod your FD if you don't take advantage of its power output? Its like giving an M-60 machine gun to your grandma...big firepower but she can't lift the gun to use it.
See ya,
