Aksonny Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Asked a Subaru wrx STI turbo to race an we go from a roll at about 15 mph then I pull a truck and a half on him and he said he's running 19lbs of boost and he was spooling his turbo and I ran away from him until we got to this truck ahead of us so we slowed down, pull off the highway and stopped. Dead stop he got the jump on me my reaction was slow but I still ended up pulling a truck length on him. Stopped to talk he had 2 other friends with him but I had my 2 15's in the back and my girlfriend weight wise. Don't tell her I said that. Truck is all stock expect CAI and no cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Lol if it wasn't a fair race, not much to be proud of. But if it was, something was wrong with his ride. That car could hang with the most radical of street trucks and would have smoked a stock truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksonny Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 True story, it turned out 2 of the guys work at the dealership I bought the truck from. One of them is a detailer and the other is a salesman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 But good kill anyway... I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksonny Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 It was fun I'd have to say. He said he blew a head gasket before we raced, don't know why he was still driving it, then after the second race he said he messed up on the shifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sounds like his car needs the driver mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksonny Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll test this out again this weekend. I know where the rice rockets meet up at during the weekends. I'm sure there's a better driver in a STI in this town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnss Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah that subie should have yanked you. not saying your slow but they run good. I have a lot of good friends who have them around here. Awd wrx and wrx sti are everywhere here. my boosted ss ran a 04 peanut eye STI and he pulled me by about a car. then I turned on the bottle and waxed him.

8hnpSS Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 good work but either its not a real STI or he doesnt know how to drive. those little cars can move when i was boosted those things were always a good race. a stock truck wouldnt stand a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah must have been a fake STI, or a crappy driver because It should have destroyed you if you are stock. My stock Legacy GT is faster than my tuned SS was, and the STI's are even faster than the LGT's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 There was something really wrong with his car or he didn't have a turbo. Like Dan said my buddies could give you 5 and be 5 ahead by the time you hit 60 lol. Something really wrong with his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Bring a GoPro to the rematch. Would be interesting to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Those STI's can be ruthless, I remember having one next to my buddies Twin Turbo 911. Was surprised how much the Subey could keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksonny Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I thought my racing stripes were good for 200hp each, we should be neck to neck after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
