Jordan Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 So I was playing with this 04-05 sti yesterday and we finanally did a couple of 1st and second gear pulls or at least I did. Any way we got a good one were we started at the same time he started pulling on me a little until he shifted to second when we were both in second he started pulling a little then he shifted the 3rd on ofcourse my gears are taller then when I was in third i seemed like I was really kinda pulling on him until a car came up we were withing speed limit so dont worry. He had a muffler but as far as I know it was a turbo back with a tune because that thing was loud and he at least had an ewg setup cause he was making sounds between shifts. Anyway I was really suprised that he wasnt pulling way better. I know gearing is an issue and he may have sucked at driving but it deffinitley was an ego booster.

captainhook Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 You sure it was an STi and not a WRX with an STi appearance? (spoiler+badging) A tuned STi with a turboback would woop a stage two spec B, let alone a stock one. (not sure what you're running) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmarko Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 So I was playing with this 04-05 sti yesterday and we finanally did a couple of 1st and second gear pulls or at least I did. So he wasn't racing, he was casually driving, and still had no trouble keeping up with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The 05 STI is 340 pounds lighter than the Spec. B with 59 more horses and 57 more ft/lbs of torque from the factory. No offense, but he must've been playing around with you. He probably wanted to have some fun with another Subaru lover for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Agreed, my buddies 04 stage 2 sti is definitely much quicker than my 08 stg2 spec b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 or he never left 1st I'm just having fun, unfortunately it seems kinda hard to believe that the STI was going full force, but who knows. Maybe he saw a cop ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Tank Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 STI is lighter and has more horsepower stock than a stage 2 LGT. My ultimate goal is to = the STI in acceleration. I don't expect it to happen until my turbo upgrade. But mine is just a lowly GT Limited. Maybe the spec. b just kicked in, yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spect2k Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It could just be the driver. Assuming both are manual - one driver may just be better than the other at getting the car to react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 This thread delivers! +234 Oh for sure it does! Street racing pulls into 3rd gear, and you weren't racing over the speed limit you say? Were you and your STi friend parked stationary on a highway with 60mph speed limits when you decided to do these tests? Delete thread?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitual Line Stepper Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm the friend of the guy you raced, he told me some failure in a leggy was trying really hard to beat him while he was messing with his cruise control with the AC on. Oh btw he is stock with a blown turbo and low compression in #4. "I for one do not doubt you, dude. Your car is fast and an internet legend." -Gire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
