Street Racing

[InfestedShadow]

I want to know if a WRX-STi is good for street racing ? thanks

[SabreKhan]

No.

[InfestedShadow]

so the evo is better ?
we can't make a Sti go fast ? why not ?

[SabreKhan]

Street racing is for high-school ricers and rednecks. I'd like to think that most of us who can afford Subarus are above that. It's dangerous and stupid; Subarus are safe and reliable. They are fast, however, and fast is always preferable in a race. Street racing, though, is usually drag racing, which is terrible for your clutch and drivetrain in an AWD car. Get a Honda Civic or a Z28 if you want to street race.

ok sorry, I didn't meant street racing for drag, im not interested draging...but I meant to have a performance car like this evo: http://www.srvidz.com/chrisevo.wmv

dude that cars has thousands and thousands of dollars poured into it, its got like 600awhp, one MASSIVE turbo and a lot of shit to back it up

a normal wrx or sti is good for a quick everyday car, and autoxing...if you want to drag race it either get another car or just make sure you make sure the tranny/clutch is built for lots of launches

[InfestedShadow]

oh, so what you're telling me is, the STi is already modded to be fast...it's like...they took a WRX and mod it, and then called it STi ? I knew it was modded...but not that high.
so when you buy a STi, you don't have to mod it because it's already pretty fast
oh and I also wanted to ask if someone have a website I can watch videos of the STi running around

[SabreKhan]

What I think is even funnier about that video is that all that is taking place in a construction zone. We should post this video up on a Highway Patrol forum and see if they can pull any license plates. :-)

[InfestedShadow]

lol, but am I right about my last post ?
it's so twisted in my head

What are you talking about? Some cars are fast out of the box. You don't have to have a modded car to have a fast car. You don't have to tell yourself the STi is "modded from the factory" so you'll think it's fast...

I don't get what's so hard to understand?

[InfestedShadow]

somebody helped me in another forum thanks for all your answers

A Toyota Camry is great for street racing. When you crash, the insurance rates on the Camry will go up rather than the rates on my STi.

The STi cluthch and (very expensive) transmission start to have reliability issues at around 400 HP when you take it easy on those pieces, never mind with hard launches.

An STi set the SCCA T2 track record at Summit Point about 3 weeks ago, over similarly equipped EVOs. They're great cars, but if you do something stupid, you will find yourself WAY over your head in a hurry, and hopefully not take any innocent bystanders with you.

This kid's hopeless. Get an evo. I don't want my Subaru insurance rates going up when an imbecile juvenile recks it.

[freakray]

Have to agree Keita, hopefully Infested will buy a Honda Civic like his heroes in TF&TF.
