The 07 STIs are apparently making stupid crazy power
There are tons of Subies around here and I always wave/give a thumbs up because I respect their cars and %100 of them have waved back. I'm honestly tired of all the Evo vs. STI talk. They're both fantastic cars and both deserve respect. The Evo guys who call STIs crap etc are the guys that give Evo owners a bad name. There are few things that I hate more than obnoxious car guys...

if everyone hasn't gotten enough of the bickering and time wasting, here's some more on nasioc (with drag results from the car in question)

I didn't realize that Subarus where so far behind EVOs when it came to modding, but EVO owners been through this sh*t already, bogus shops and bogus numbers
Dude I had this guy pull up to me and tell me his subie ran 10's two ngiths agao. Then went on to say it puts down 508 whp, lol. We played a few times but he kept cutting me off or swerving into my lane every time I hit 3rd gear and would have pulled on him... All I was impressed with was how fast the car initially took off but after 2nd gear he had nothing, so much as he swerved into my lane hitting on his brakes
" NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE" We had an empty two lane road too........weak *** tactics.
As far as this 07 STI making the power claimed.....oh well, I have also seen this thread posted on so many forums...... so break out the slips or something. Funny how the guy who posted the thread on Nasoic (sp) said the owner doesn't post online......
If it's true that's good. Now the STI (07 owners atleast) can experience what "us" Evo owners have been enjoying over and over!

Stock LS1 Fbodies make more whp than your "modded" Evo right off the showroom floor. Put an exhaust, lid, and tune on one and they make in the 320-335 whp range. C6 Corvettes are putting down 350 whp stock. 
And what does posting on forums have to do with owning a fast car? Look at the average of the people posting on forums. They're between 20-25 years old. On this site, I'm probably considered an old man.

i trapped 112 on 295WHP last november and i destroyed a brand new C6 vette at the track this weekend by over a second and by 5 mph on 329WHP
that guy's 108 trap on 280WHP is pretty sweet

Somebody in a Corvette either doesn't know how to drive or ended up with a real lemon. They're consistently trapping in the 112 mph range right off the showroom floor.
Can't wait for the X to come and spank the Sti competition flat. . .I still heart my VIII. . .

it was heatsoaking, i only trapped 111, 82 degree day. Guy said he normally traps 110-111 or so.
111 mph in a C6....as I mentioned, "right around 112 mph."
What mods do you have done to your car? You're only making 279 wtq. I'm making 272 wtq with nothing more than a lousy (and it is lousy) off-the-shelf Cobb Stage 1 tune.

i trapped 112 on 295WHP in 40 degree weather 2 months ago and then i trapped only 111 on 329WHP but the weather was disgusting
i think on a similar 40 degree day i can trap 114-115, i'm not going to be slower with 35 more WHP and my 60' improved
