hey guys..im new to the forum and i was wondering which is faster from a roll...most racing where i live is done from a roll so i want to know which is quicker. i like the evo's looks alot more, but im just worried about the transfer case.

 

Evo...check out the C&D article. but it's very close.

 

depends how fast u start from. 20 mph roll? or 60mph roll? 60mph and up sti will win.

 

It's all about the driver in that scenario.

 

How?
I would have thought you hit the accelerator and off you go - not much rocket science to it

 

0-60 mph 4.8....................... 4.9

0-100 mph 12.6.................. 13.1

0-130 mph 25.0.................. 24.1


evo numbers on the left and sti on the right. infer what you may.

 

well until they make an automatic STI or Evo (which they shouldn't) it will not be as simple as press down and go. You gotta shift so you don't lose boost.

 

true....ill cruise at 30-35mph in 2nd gear and ive never had a problem with an sti.....im bone stock witha dynoflash and ive ran two bone stock stis.....walked on both

 

I disagree it's mostly the car at this point. This is given both drivers know how to shift out of 2nd gear.

 

a roll is for *****'s.race from a standstill.the better driver will win the other will die

 

Considering that the question is "from a roll", we can infer nothing from 0-XXX numbers

 

i thought evo owners were a little smarter. ok, let's see

from a rolling 60mph start, it takes an evo 7.8(subtract the bigger number from the smaller number, 12.6-4.8) seconds to reach 100 and 20.2 (25.0-4.8) secs to reach 130mph.

from a rolling 60mph start, it takes an Sti 8.2 seconds to reach 100 and 19.2 secs to reach 130.

 

doesn't work like that... you're counting an evo that's already in full acceleration! You need to take into account momentum, boost and shifting... But you're right, I am stupid!

 

again, you're making yourself look dumber by each post. 60mph is 60mph no matter whether you start at 0 (well, you always have to start at 0 if you think about it unless you can jump in your car when its doing 30) or whether you drove around for 20 minutes before reaching 60mph.

 

yawn dont we have enuf of this BS
