xero287 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 ^Were you in fifth? Just an update that how much boost you're running is irrelevant. I'm stage one and I'm peaking at around 17.1, no knock, worry-free. I'm almost certain this has to do with driver skill. Videos/Timeslips ftw.

Aruss87 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well, I'm sure protune would be quite an advantage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog1425 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I see a lot of theoryfudging and butt-dyno going on in this thread. How about some numbers? Lets assume cobb is right and stage 2 is ~ 6% hp and ~20% ft/lb gain. With that, stage 2 should be around 260 hp / 290 ft/lb. Just going from these numbers alone, no, you won't win. Stage 2 leggy makes less power and is heavier than the stock 2012 sti wagon. It FEELS like it might stand a chance because it makes a LOT more low end torque (look at the graph in the cobb link, it really is a huge improvement) but it just doesn't make the power. The STI also has better gearing. 2008 leggy gt manual : 3415 lbs, 243 hp / 241 ft/lb 2012 sti wagon (lightest): 3,373 lbs, 305 hp / 290 ft/lb Stage 2 2008 leggy gt manual : 3415 lbs, 260 hp / 290 ft/lb http://www.cars101.com/subaru/wrxsti/wrxsti2012.html http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legacy/legacy2008.html http://www.cobbtuning.com/Subaru-AccessPORT-p/ap-sub-003.htm#/v/accessport/power/subaru/ap-sub-003/power-gains-legacy-07-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred_Buchi Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is underdog comparing whp to chp? I don't think those numbers are apples to apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Crank means nothing, WHP means a little. Who cares what wins in a straight line? Take turns and actually test the driver. Shifting is very.... I dunno what to say just who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redleg Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I had what looked like a new STi up my butt on the way to work this morning. I was just waiting for an opening in the traffic and when I found one I punched it (stage II). It was several seconds before he also accelerated but I kept pulling away then braked hard for my turn. Either I had him or he didn't want to try too hard - too early in the a.m. for that crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ehhh, I'm from the northeast originally, but I think everyone in America drives like shit. I am, however, excited to read that now that I'm stage II I can kick an STi's ass. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've driven in most of the US, as well as the Caribbean & nearly half of Europe. I've driven all over Baltimore, in & around DC, and I'll be back in VA in a couple of months. Bad drivers there doesn't hold a candle to, say, Houston. Here in Tampa they're pretty bad as well. ...and in case it wasn't obvious, I was joking. I've owned an STi. I don't believe I'd have a shot at taking one down in my LGT.

lee07 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm sure a basic stg 2 lgt can run neck and neck, if not squeeze out and beat an stock sti 04-12. Stock sti's put down around 220-230 whp and about the same tq. Stg 2 lgt 230-250 whp. stg 2 lgt should just squeeze out and beat a stock sti.
