lol..dont mean to talk **** about the sti..I love the car and will buy one, I guess I was jsut expecting too much since it was the first time I drove it and was comparing it to my car...

It may just be the feeling of a AWD vs a RWD is different...

 

...

 

All you have to come up with is to make fun of my spelling you are retarded, did you really not understand that I was comparing prices you would spend on a modified car and a stock car and how slow your gay factory built car would be at he same price. Did you want me to compare animals like you did in you quote

"1:Your cars slow and heavy.
2:Well a cheetah weighs a hell of a lot more than a house cat"


And I am not interested in the sites you have bookmarked!

Just do yourself a favor and go wrap your heavy slow car around a tree and get something worth putting money into.

 

"1:Your cars slow and heavy.
2:Well a cheetah weighs a hell of a lot more than a house cat"


that's like comparing your car to an r/c toy

 

I don't have anything against the sti either, actually i love the body style even though i've heard many people think it looks ugly. But anywayz i raced one from a roll in my stock TII running about 3psi becuz of a leak and he really didn't pull all that hard on me surprisingly. When i raced him from a light it was a little different story lol!

 

NoRotor

untill you have something intelligent to say,
shut your monkey *** up.

 

lets see some vids of the FC v STi race

 

^i second

 

i wanna see a 3000gt race!

 

I don't.

But I would like to hear some more from Norotor, that **** is funny. Someones gotta tell it how it is.

 

No one wants to see a race involving a car like the 3000GT... That car opitimizes the 90's, except lacks any of the style exuded by the other classic 90's sportscars, like the 300ZX, Supra, NSX or RX-7... Those things are such heinous garbage, it's not even worth going into detail. 99% of the 3/S's on the road are either driven by women or blatant homosexuals. The other 1% are embarassingly slow.

For example:

 

STi's are only fast once you put a =3in. exhaust, headers, chip, bov, stage 2 clutch ect.
my friend has one
its an '04. its fast but you have to do alot of work to make them fast
but a plus...AWD>RWD...SORRY GUYS BUT ITS TRUE, U KNOW IT
i have a 7 ...but its a "POS"... he beats me all day long and the other 7s around town...i love drivin his Sti... he cant shift worth ****...so i usually race people
But nice kill anyways

ps...'05 and up Sti's are super slow=toooooooo heavy and shitty clutch and trannys

 

lmao

 

Hate to nitpick, but that's not entirely true. There's a point at which a really fast car has so much horsepower and launches so hard that the weight transfer makes rwd the best. At that point the awd is just unecessary weight, and sends power to the wrong wheels (which often lose contact with the ground entirely).

And in case you don't believe me, talk to someone who has built and awd drag car over time. As their horsepower goes up, they tend to make the awd system more rear wheel biased. Then the be-all end-all example is funny cars, and top fuel cars, which are exclusively rear wheel drive and are the fastest cars on the 1/4 mile.

For rally racing that's mostly true though. Circuit track racing, it's debatable, there's more than one way to skin a cat in that arena.


As for the whole "I can build X for Y amount of dollars" thing, it's usually a weak comparison. There are more variables to what makes a car "good" than just straight line speed. You can get a Ferrari that runs 12s for a small fortune, or build a Pinto that runs 9s for a fraction of the price. It's all relative.

 

your an idiot. my stock sti ran a 13.3 which is faster than my FD when it was stock, and why would "chip" an sti with just those mods? their ecu self adjusts up to 30% i believe and when did a bov make a car go faster? what do you have by the way?

 

first of all the new STi have a driver controlled diff. so you can switch it to have more power to the rear ect...go to subaru.com to find out
secondly....i have a 82 Rx-7 Gsl. my friend has the 04 STI...that car is frickin sweet we beat Mach1's and others
by the way..last night we beat "bheiman" he has a 1993 R1 Rx-7 Twin turbo by like 2 car lengths

 

I would have to whole heartedly disagree. I would never chose a AWD sports car over a otherwise identical RWD sportscar. The extra weight of the AWD system isn't worth it. Just look at cars like the 3000gt.... just sad.

 

Stage 2 clutch eh?

My friend has a 04 too, his nearly breaks my neck on each shift. They also run a low 13 stock, sorry, that's ******* fast for a stock car.

Btw, AWD is for *******.

 

um, i have an STi, and the gears are very very close. not wide at all. ****, it's got an extra gear on the FD and runs out of gear about 40mph sooner, do the math, very close gears.

and yes, they do run solid mid to low 13's stock with a proper launch.

 

ps, 05 and 06 sti's have the same engine, same turbo, same very strong tranny, and run the same times as the 04's. buy a clue.

 

and what all rx7s are fast as ****! Give me a break.
some of what your saying is true
the 3000gt was NOT built to be a slick speedster. it was made as a TOURING car.
Yep alot of 3000gts you see are slow, ive seen maybe a handfull of vr4s. Embarrasingly slow? vr4s are FASTER than any stock US rx7. with a boost controller, downpipe, and y-pipe.... into the 12s.... THEN you upgrade turbos. So what your saying is either incridibly ignorant or just misinformed. Im getting a 6 puck clutch, ebc, dp, and intake put in my car right now. I dont think 12s at 110-115mph with about $500 dollars in mods is "slow"what are U running?

 

And before you ask me to leave or go to 3si....
the only reason im on this forum is because i was 10 minutes away from buying an fd.

 

your icon reminds me alot of a supra from that angle.. nice ride though!

 

yea sorry low 13...not a chance. trust me you dont know. '05 '06 Sti's are slower than the '04's because we beat a modded '06 a couple of times last week so dont talk about what you dont know about

 

Henessey you seem to say alot of ignorant comments, and just seem to keep talking and talking. But w/e, I'm not here to flame. A few STI drivers actually know how to drive, most are VERY mediocre (at best) drivers.
