Story of my run in with a STi
So, im tearing up some backroads, and a nice white 04 ish sti goes by me. Outta instinct, I whipped the car around and chased. As soon as I get behind him, he GOESS. ****, I could sorta keep up till it got twisty, he simply has more ***** than I did, plus I had a passenger. So soon we get behand a slow car and he gives me a thumbs up.
We then get on to RT1, and he waves me next to him. He askes if its a FM2 kit, I said no I built it my self, to which he says wow! (was cool he knew a little about turboed miatas). So then im like ok, lets do a run. 2ed gear, 3 honks, and I brake boost it. Were even 2ed gear, he has a car through 3rd, and 2.5 cars through 4th gear.
I think I did pretty good, 9 to 10 psi with 2 200 lb people in the car. The STi looked stock, but it did sound pretty loud.

well the 400 crank hp is an estmit from the guy at the dyno but the whp is 360 at 23.5psi of boost. i have been in the car its fast but i think if i finish my miata it will get him from a roll and this kid lost to my friend who has a mazdaspeed 3 with just a short ram intake but this was when the evo 9mr had just a cat back exhaust and even still he only gets about a car lenth away from him now even with 360whp.

Well going back to cardriverx race. That sounded like fun. I know STi's are fast bone stock well from what iv seen there all in the mid 14's to low 14's range. Correct me if im wrong but isnt your car like a 13 second car, that makes that Sti not stock, hehe. But passengers do make a difference. You should of ran him with 13psi.

Stock STi is low 13s while a stock WRX is mid 14s. Of course it all depends on the driver.
