drove an STi last night

[hudy]

My brother's buddy just got an STi. He let my drive it last night. It has a few mods. It felt quicker than my brothers EVO 8 by alot. I will try to get some pics. When I first got in and drove I kept hitting the rev limiter. I was like what the heck?/? I noticed it was only reving to 5k. Apparently the car has a built in adjustable rev limiter. So I moved it up to the appropriate 7k and let her rip. Big difference. The EVO handles way better than the STi by the way.

I also raced the EVO last night at Edgewater. I think it is just my driving but I could only get 14.3 @ 95MPH. My 60 ft. times were 1.9 sec. Meh, I am not a race car driver I guess.

are they gonna get into rally battles now?

if I had an Evo and one of my friends had an STi we'd roll hard. in dirt.

This is not the place to discuss cars.

Hey, man. You know the more power you make, the harder it is to push the gas pedal, right?

[Mr1der]

what the **** are you talking about?

You sound like the guy who thought taking the back plate that sits behind the gas pedal would make his car go faster. That post was in the hall of shame worst posts thread.

[nismofly]

what the **** are you talking about?

the skill level it takes to drag race, or lack of skill, for that matter

Hey, man. You know the more power you make, the harder it is to push the gas pedal, right?

Yep.

And the harder you press the pedal, the more power you make.

I've been doing a lot of leg presses lately, and it has upped my ka's whp to 300.

I think you guys missed the point...he is saying in real drag racing, while it might be easy to push the pedal down, its hard to do so with the car not jetting sideways into the wall...top fuel dragsters actualy never totaly let the rear end hook up the entire way down the track.

Drag racing your stock KA is easy...Drag racing a real purpous built drag car competitively is no where close.

[Mr1der]

oh it takes skill....

fast precise shifting.

expert reflexes....

but it's still boring to watch

meh, even top fuel/funny car takes maybe 10% of what wrc and f1 take

you even listen to pro drag racers, every time ive heard them asked about this in interviews they say something to the extent of "its 80-90% car, were just along for the ride trying to keep it going straight"

edit: 9,500

[MinisterofDOOM]

Congrats on 9500.

I think it'd be fun to race top fuel, but not even close to as fun as WRC or open wheel.

[nismofly]

or top level sports cars

audi r8/10, for example, is not much slower than f1 cars, and at faster tracks (la sarthe, probably the most obvious example) are actually faster

[Red coupe]

difficulty is relative, You can be preforming the easiest task in the world, and still have it be made difficult through compitition. Im sure with a days practice you could lauch a top fuel car through the end of a 1/4 mile, but Im sure it would take years to match a pro, even if the same people set up your car. Drag racing is simply much smaller incriments then other racing...Like how tenths of seconds in F1 = seconds in WRC = hundresths of seconds in Drag racing.

but yeah....still boring.

I watched drag racing on tv for a bit this morning, and listening to a winded "drag racer" talk is a gibrish mess.

[PantherRacer]

WTF was he trying to do?

[skylndrftr]

Yep.

And the harder you press the pedal, the more power you make.

got fred ****in flinstone in the house

comparison

driving a topfueler = changing a flat in your drivewaydriving wrc = full on pitstop with 15 laps to go in the indy 500 and your leading

[DriftingJesus]

driving topfuel= nailing your fat neighbordriving wrc= nailing your hot neighbor *****, her sister, her mom, and her bestfriend
