the difference is that you were drivin like a nut and he was simply waiting for a gap and then stretching you like a hooker. thats the way guys with big power do it. no squeezing through tiny cracks in traffic. simply waiting for the gap and running out. but very ambitious of you to think you could hold that STI.

umm no... that STi never ran pass me. come again. maybe u saw when i slowed down adn he came for the ricer flyby. ... and i wasnt alone in the car either.

y try to deny it. its pathetic.

and no doubt that Sti would give me 3 lengths on the 1/4. only? i would think more.

2 mins on the highway? i doubt it, consicering the speed cut.

you tell em MIKE!!...

lol
no speed cut.
he would of give you a hour lenght.

u people miss the point. read my first post. i asked why it was so slow... not " it is so slow"

i dont expect to run an sti with my civic. i was totally surprised he didnt blow past me. i was asking if this is cuz of det. and the ecu retard that they are "so slow" as in as slow as my busted ass civic... tho he was a bit fast cuz he did catch up on me.... if my gears werent grating and my engine wasnt loosing the compression and i didnt have a passenger... he might not have. which is sad.

by no means am i implying my civic running fast. 15.7 best 1/4. 116whp, 101wtq. thats it... in a light chaisis.

an STi is an STi. u can't compare these little Rooster fights and say that the STi is 'that slow'.

if my gears werent grating and my engine wasnt loosing the compression and i didnt have a passenger... he might not have. which is sad.

NO

what is sad is that most honda's seem to be designed with intelligent gear boxes that know just when to grate if racing a car that can beat them. apart from that the engines have a long standing history of losing compression just as the other driver in the faster car hits boost.

what would have been EVEN MORE sad is what would have happened to you if you had both run into a long clear stretch of highway all of a sudden. :!:

Silvermike · Postby **Silvermike** » February 27th, 2007, 1:09 pm

apparently sdm wrx comes with full sti parts mostly. body kit, 4 pod brakes, spolier, scoop... but crappy tune @ 12psi or so.. according to some guys at tsoc, it puts out about 180hp or so. which would be about right from what i saw.

See Sig...which excuse is this one....maybe revised edition? hmmm

You guys seem to forget, that hes asking a question...he thought the car wouldv'e blown by him, but it was easier than expected, to not only keep up but hurt an ego or two at the same time...
