They made the 08 FXT for 4 months only (300 total made). It came with an STi appearance package (unlike the 07s) that included the STi front lip, STi wheels and blacked out lights and C-pillars. People were always asking me why I have STi emblems on my lip and wheels so I just went all out and got the rest of the emblems, VF39, STI TMIC and seats. The only thing that I'm really missing is the transmission, which I'll get once I blow mine :D

I was at the shootout but there was no Forester running 12s.

Non Impreza Subaru: Sponsored by AMS!

1.Josh W. 13.36 @ 103.21 <--buddy with a gold VF34 FXT

2. Migel R. 13.673 @ 99.97 <-- I think a LGT

3. Kamil 13.678 @ 101.28 <-- Me :D

Knocked my friend with a 18G FXT out of 3rd by .002 of a second and could have had 2nd place if I just took my spare out (I was off by .005 of a second)

My excuse, I suck at launching and shifting into 2nd, plus it was a week after my tune and it wasn't worked out too well (temperature calibration table was off)

Most of my 60's were in the 1.9s, which isn't bad.

Josh got into the 1.8s and that's how he beat me.

I stopped at 6 I think. I felt bad for my car and was just getting frustrated. I should have practiced before I raced. I went out the next day and practiced and was launching good again. It would have been smart to do that the day before instead of after.

I actually haven't launched my car with the new setup before the shootout.

By new setup I mean VF39, tune and 245 tires.

Totally different than launching my TD04 on stock 215 tires (which was very easy)

on the street?

Damn street racers :rolleyes:

 

I didn't say I was racing anyone. I just said on the street that was how the launch was. Thats how I practice my launch there is nothing illegal about practicing your launch in a empty parking lot or empty industrial road.

Can't speak for your state, but in Minnesota that is illegal if the officer sees it as careless or reckless. Both careless and reckless can be charged on a parking lot as long as it is open to the public. Careless does not require you endanger anything but your car and/or your health.

Yes, it's stupid, but it's the law.

 

Plus there's normally city ordinaces regarding accelerating too fast.

wow somebody got defensive fast :lol:

"Damn street racers" is a quote from Fast and the Furious by the pizza delivery guy (also the director of the movie).

 

I was just yanking your chain there buddy ;)

 

And yes, any display of acceleration can be considered illigal by the cops here. If they want you they'll get you for something. Last time I checked it was illegal to drive a car in the loop as it scares the horses (the law was never removed)

0-20 without tire spin is illegal? Pretty sure it's not.

 

Fine I am a hoodlum just like I am sure 90% of the people on this board have launched there car at some time.

It could be. Careless is way to easy to prove for a misdeamnor traffic violation.

I'm not saying you're a bad person, you just said it was for certain legal, and I feel a need to correct you. Don't want anyone getting a ticket out of ignorance.

Also illegal to exit your vehicle streetside

What a great day to detail a car. I also managed to install a STS without burning my car to the ground or killing myself, so there's prograss.
