you have to remember that an sti is a factory modded option with 300 hp instead of i think 240hp. take a wrx and an rx7, the 7 will kill it. take an sti and a 300hp 7 and the fd3s would walk all over it...

tancred, lets see the vid! (but i do believe you, seriously)

My roomate has an STi with intake. I walked him easily from all kinds of 3rd and 4th gear pulls. Never tried from a stop.



Streeport , intake , full exhaust , pettit ecu 12 lbs.

My friend has an STI with ECU and intake. From a stand still he will get the best of me but from even a slight we hand for a second until boost builds...My mods are www.apneablue.com/rx7

I am sitting at work early last week and my cel phone rings. Its my dad, he has a 1993 RX7 with a Power FC, downpipe, catback, intake, pulley's, and fresh motor, it dyno's 320RWHP. He asks me what a STIWRX is, god he cracks me up, so I say a Subie WRX STi? He says "yeah, I guess so, it has this huge wing on the back...... think I can take him? He was trying me on the entrance ramp to the interstate and I I am alongside him right now, I am going to downshift and see......" Line goes dead.



I laugh, my 62 year old father ready the throw down.



So my cel rings again about 20 seconds later:



Me: Hello

Dad: Its all over!

Me: Whats all over?

Dad: The race, its all over, yup, that fast, it was over before it started.

Me: So he tried you?

Dad: Yup, he hit it first, I was in 3rd gear doing about 60 and he jumped.... for a second then I ripped past him and put bus lengths on him, I ran it through to the top of 4th and shut down. *laughing* then when I let out of it and slowed back down to about 80 he did a fly by.

Me: Good stuff, I was sure you would take him.



The old dude cracks me up.

WTF?

Cliff notes?



A 320 RWHP FD will rip a STI a new one from a 60 roll.



From a dig it will take a gear or two to run one down and pass it.



I thought the story was funny. I guess you had to be there.

No. You're right. It is funny.

Are we all talking about drag racing?



Yes stock STi beats stock FD in the 1/4. Not by much though. Maybe if I had some racing slicks haha (seriously)



I know you guys gotta road race. Come on! Although the STi has less of an understeer tendency than the EVO it is still there. On a track/road with tight turns if you can handle your FD well you really should be able to take the STi or EVO.



Although it is hard to find drivers that are equally matched these days. Anyone else got thoughts on it?



Also consider you pay twice for the STi than the FD. And its not a rotary so who cares. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.gif lol jkjk
