first off i ran those time with 3 big cracks in my manifold, a ****ty 1.860ft and no traction.... my car also may not do good in the track but i will tell you that i have pulled away from a friends Evo IX that trapped 113 on pump and i had a passenger.. I have also pulled 3 280cammed Evo VIIIs by 1-2 cars... My car on the street is a different beast.. I have NEVER had an STI come close to beating me and i have raced modified 07 recently.. I also have stock cams, stock fmic, stock icp and pump gas
Did you blow the welds off the intake, too?He says he's never lost to an STi/STI.
Maybe you should try actual racing instead of bench racing.

If you know anything about manifolds, you would know that aftermarket ones tend to crack, matter of fact this is my second cracked one... if i was using nitrous id be running low 11s.. Been watching to much F&F?
I dont bench race, you idiot
... I ACTUALLY race at the track and have raced many STIs and on the track and the streets..Ive actually pulled away from one that made 405 here locally on an MD dyno.. He thought i had an upgraded turbo after he pulled over to talk to me Those are some pretty low trap speeds in your sig for having a 20g. Funny how we can run those times or faster and get the same traps with the stock turbo

The cracks should not be hurting you to be honest. If thats the case, I dont wanna know how much faster my car will go. I have 3 cracks in my tubular. One at the 2-3 collector and 1 on each of 1 and 4. Still ran really fast. I think running 110mph on pump gas with stock cams, ic, piping is pretty darn good. Add cams and youll be 114 or so.

Well it seems that recently a 07 STI with intake, header, 3" turbo back, and Topspeed Ecutek was able to run a 12.1@113mph. If this is true, then congrats to 07 STIs, it may be true, that 07 STIs and 06-07 EVO IXs are making comparable dyno numbers and running similiar times with bolt on mods and stock turbos. I'm not completely sold, but I am starting to be swayed.

Like I said I am not completely sold, and probably will not be until more tuners start putting down similiar numbers, but I am starting to be swayed and I can see it as highly plausible. My take is that Subaru as a company are not idiots, and they noticed that the EVO IX was selling very well, extremely well. There are as many or more 06 EVO IXs on the road as there are 04 and 05 EVO VIIIs combined, in some months sales shot up over 60% compared to 2005. It is my belief that Subaru noticed this and made some changes to the 07 STI lineup (I hear the turbo and gearing is different). So I wouldn't be surprised if 07 STIs and 06-07 EVO IXs were making similiar power with bolt ons. I feel bad for 06 STI owners though, kind of reminds me of 05 EVO owners, not that their cars aren't awesome cars also, because they are, but they missed out on some of the changes. It's interesting to see how competitive Mitsubishi and Subaru are with one another when it comes to the EVO and STI. I honestly do not believe that 06 sales of Subaru were the greatest, but if owners are putting down 320-350whp with bolt ons, similiar to IXs, then the STI line up will get a sales jump. Smart move by Subaru. We will have to wait and see what the 2008 lineups have in store for both Mitsubishi and Subaru. One thing is for sure we should be really careful when it comes to selecting which model year to buy for a EVO or STI, especially with how competitive Mitsubishi and Subaru are with one another.

I actually discovered the cracks on the manifold after i made my 3rd pass that night and i still managed to run a good time..
If you know anything about manifolds, you would know that aftermarket ones tend to crack, matter of fact this is my second cracked one... if i was using nitrous id be running low 11s.. Been watching to much F&F?
I dont bench race, you idiot ... I ACTUALLY race at the track and have raced many STIs and on the track and the streets..Ive actually pulled away from one that made 405 here locally on an MD dyno.. He thought i had an upgraded turbo after he pulled over to talk to me
Maybe he did too smart ***... Like soon2bevo said. he had to get a good 60ft and drive the **** out of to get those times and mph..
Those are some pretty low trap speeds in your sig for having a 20g. Funny how we can run those times or faster and get the same traps with the stock turbo

Tell some more stories. I'm all ears. Yes, I'm sure you beat an STi with 405 hp! I'm sure it was your eBay-quality Megan exhaust that did it for you!
If that STi was putting down 405 hp, and he wasn't able to beat a car that "apparently" traps 109.xx mph, that's one sh*tty driver!Congrats on your trapspeed of 109 mph. You achieved 2 mph faster than a stock LS1 F-Body.
You, sir, truly have a hotrod to envy!

As for my times? They are faster than yours
I could go on about the differences between the STI and EVO 20g, the gearing etc, but since you are nutswinging on that topic, I'll leave it at that

No, I'm talking about that guy with the "430whp fp green STI" who underacheived per your story. Maybe his car was supposedly f'd just like the excuses you made? Not the 2007 car.
