Could I Beat A Sti?

SMOKINGZ28 · #1 10-10-2005, 05:48 PM

Well i know the sti would own me at the launch but would my 95z28 with have a chance with these mods K&N CAI, SLP HEADERS, 3" Y-PIPE, 3" FLOWMASTER CATBACK, CUSTOM TUNNING, MSD IGNITION, GRANETELLI MASS AIRFLOW, 3.73 GEARS AND HOTCHKIS SUSPENSION.

Eehhh.... I dunno I'm leaning towards very close race maybe the STi a bit above. you. AWD Turbo + 300hp.. Stock.

I wouldn't bet money on it in your corner

i Know it has 300hp but that's at the crank and with the awd it looses alot of hp/tq i know it would kill me on the launch but i think i would be able to catch the son of the bitch

I don't know STi's top speed, off the line definately and I still think you'd have a hell of a time keeping up imo. STi's are nasty things. Not dissing your car, I just think he has the upper hand even if AWD does lose some power in the drivetrain.

Only one way to find out

Make sure you race to at least 120mph... AWD = massive drive train losses at speed.

Xenostalgia · #6 10-10-2005, 06:01 PM

anything above 80mph = likely death in any crash :/

Well i raced one yesterday but it was from a roll and i was ahead of him by half a car length all the way to 100mph

Yeah that's so true, i'm picky on where i'm willing to open up my maro, but it all depends on the street and time.

Make sure you have Z-Rated tires too. If you are going to be dumb, atleast prepare yourself the best you can ya know.

Yeah there z-rated and the maro has a full hotchkis suspension with a 2" drop, so she handles pretty good

Just so you know.

These figures are in FEET-PER-SECOND
20mph: 29 fps
40mph: 59 fps
60mph: 88 fps
80mph: 117 fps
100mph: 147 fps
120mph: 176 fps!!!!!

That is more then HALF A FOOTBALL FIELD in ONE SECOND.

Just be careful. I personally try not to drive over 80mph at any given time anymore.

In that case...

You should be able to take an STi from a roll.
If you go from a dig...you will need a hell of a launch and you would need to go to a decent speed to catch him.

SMOKINGZ28 · #14 10-10-2005, 06:15 PM

I don't do it everyday but if the car seems like it's worth it i'll give it a shot, but i never speed in traffic though if i kill someone it's going to be me and no one else.

Xenostalgia · #15 10-10-2005, 06:16 PM

Shit I'm scared to drive my car over 80mph, ;P when I get a new car I'll race ya and lose.

I think my project car will be a 3rd gen with 350 and work it up to have some nice kick to it while i have a beater. This is just fantasy when i'm in college.
