[quote name='BrandonDrecksage' date='Mar 30 2005, 01:46 AM']100lbs=10hp roughly, so your power to weight ration should be pretty close.

You can't really say that, it all depends what's pushing the weight, as has been said.

[quote name='BrandonDrecksage' date='Mar 30 2005, 12:46 AM']just cause it has 300 hp doesn't mean its fast, they have a problem with a thing called turbo lag..its all high end power,

[quote name='Il RX8 lI' date='Mar 29 2005, 02:56 PM']My friend has a 310 at the wheels WRX that I can at least keep up with in my FD. So if he's working 300 at the fly, you might beat him.

320 whp =P We started from a launch and your dad beat me off the line cause of my stupidness of not knowing how to launch and then we did a 20 roll and lets just say ill honk next time =P But about the STi they might have turbo lag bad BUT if they can launch it while the turbo is spooled up the lag isnt half as bad..But I think it would be a close race AND it would come down to whose a better driver. But I think you have him cause he just got the car but beware when he learns to launch youll have to race him again =P

Yeah, but there's going to bashing going on for any car that doesn't have spinning triangles making its power. If every muscle head or Supra owner joined up just to defend their cars, this place would suck until Phins banned them all.
