fd vs sti

ok i finally got the fd running around friday night in town. there was this blue sti all carbonned out trying to run. at first i didnt want to because something is making alot of niose under my car.i think its the drive shaft but not 100%. so any ways hes doing his revving thing and messing around and im sick of every 1 saying my car is beat because i dont run it. any way i catch the light with him.and it was just turning red at this time.he yells over can that car do better than a 13,2 1/4 mile run.i told him not sure i never ran it. ok the windows go up and the light turns green.
the sti digs nice and i burn longer than i wanted too. so the end of first we are head up 2nd i pull about 2 -2 1/2 cars and i go for 3rd but hit 5th back track and catch 3rd right before he gets to my door and im out. 3 cars up again.hit 4th and hes back a ways.
well after it was over this guy just drives around and follows me to get gas.we start talking and he asks what do i run again? lmao. like i said before i havent ran my car with the new engine. but it has been awhile.but he keeps saying by the way i ran i should be 13.0 1/4. but hey what ever. if felt real nice running it.but yeah i couldn't keep this guy from following me all damn night after that. so i took it back home and grabbed my gsx.i never new it would bring too much attention.
but i do plan on taking it to the track this week coming up. all my mods are in sig and i only hit 286 on the dyno (poor tune)

AWD are superior at putting power to the ground.

Only for the initial launch really... After that they lose alot more power thru the drive train due to friction than a rwd car and we get to blow by them.

thanks guys.well his boy in a 04 evo stock wants to race and only has a bov(what a joke) swears he runs 11.9 on all stock boost. but i said its not worth the gas.and yes i own 4 dsm's and my 90 gsx has a real nice launch but but doesnt keep it up through the gears and its all stock except a nice exhaust leak at the flex pipe and a oem crushed bov.so im not knocking the awd completely. haha
