So a bunch of people think it would be close huh? no not really. My best friend owns one, I've driven it so often, I know exactly what its made of.
So Im heading to work and a guy in a 06 with the Tribeca style nose comes buzing down the road and starts tailing me. Due to traffic he swings around and pulls past me very slowly. (we where going 40 mph in midday traffic
) But I guess since his lane was a bit quicker then mine he thought he was smoking hot! He leaves me at a light and I figure fuck it, I know what I can do.
Three blocks later I catch up and we start playing around pulling on each other but the road is a bit crowded so nothing crazy.
Finally by sheer luck we get a light and I lower my window.
me: this is it bro you gonna play?
him: Dude I got AWD, your just gonna loose.
me: I can tell, but Im not stock so your gonna have to launch hard okay. seriously Im cammed and bored out with re-enforced diff and launch control. I get 1.7 60 times consecutively and Im rolling on 580 WHP! so you fucking rev that biotch to 7K and drop it!
him: (eyes bulgeing out) ..................oh, shit dude........uhmmm I dont know.
me: okay okay, I'll take off the launch control and put the traction on. but seriously crank that bitch up and drop the clutch hard bro!
him: uhhmmmm......okay.
Light goes green and just as I expected he pussy foots it off the line. I roll onto it slow but forget it, once Im past the point of traction loss (3K) I gun it and he falls back. The STI's tranny is not meant for straight line accel. You have to shift too often and too quickly. I can hold 1st to 6K and he will have shifted to 2nd and topping. By the time Im half way through 2nd he will be entering 3rd. Its just a loss of time and ground. I had two cars by 3rd gear.
See all those mags crank up the engine and drop it, I know, Ive done it. Thats the only way to achieve 13 second 1/4 miles. But if you own it you dont wanna drop it from rev-limit every single run. if you just roll onto it those cars are only about 14.3-14.5 seconds quick.
Mushy for the win.
P.S. Transformers the movie in theaters 7.4.7
