well, winter here in detroit has my truck on a lift and me in the wife's saturn. Recalling the summer and my few races in the ty.The first one pops out in particular...
went spectating at the races late night, watching some ls1's and mustangs go at it, a rusty ass fast grand prix, a stock solstice and acouple of vettes of different years. Then one of those dodge rt pickups shows up..Im outside my Truck and start talking big shit to the owner, trying to get a rise out of him, but he wont run me. As soon as I decide to leave , a black STi shows up and was LOUD.. It sounded like he didn't have a muffler on it at all. so I hop in the ty And manouver down towards the opposie end of the strip to see if this Sti wants to run..
I pull up next to him, and hes like, Nice truck, does it run? Hes still in the drivers seat Theres nothing but empty side street in front of us and his car is still idling so I say nothing and hammer it to see if he'll give chase..he does.I took off, no boost launch (Ididnt know how) and put a quick 8 on him before I let off and let him catch up. Rolling at about 40 door to door, I punch it again and get about a carlength on him, but thats it. he was there lights all in the rearview couldnt have been more than two feet from my rear bumper,and was stuck there way up into 102,103 but he couldn't
get closer than that. Eased down and he swung alongside yelling' I just couldnt pass you!' I want spring...........

learn to do a launch...you havent really raced a syty until youve done a boost launch! search tood austinson or todd A. menuever. or just boost launch. get some vaccuum pressure on the brakes by revving in neutral while on the brakes than go to drive and build some boost while still on brakes and let loose.

Yeah really, whats done to it? If you say stock then the guy you raced had no idea what he was doing. Most STi guys dont **** around and from what I have seen, they usually know what they are doing when it comes to driving their cars. I can beat them from a stop all the way up to 100 or more but from a roll its a bit different. If he had no exhaust, he more than likely had a bunch of other crap going on too :dunno: Im curious to hear about your truck.

I posted a kill on the BB & I easily walked away from a 300 HP modified STI,was not even close,but my Stock Sy runs better than the average one ;)
This was @ freeway speeds w/my kill.

no truck isnt stock..but I must admit im definitely green about them (got it in aug 07) , but the receipts The prev. owner had lists: ATR racepipe,Im guessing a 44 turbo?(Pt #5444.63),ATR billet wategate, ATR octane chip,50 LB injectors..Broke my tranny & stall converter learning how to boost launch, so, I had a beefed 700r and tci3200converter put in it since the summer, Also, ran into the dude with the Sti...turns out I raced him before, but when we were both driving different cars (ss& a notchback). he got the car 6 months before I ran into him again, So turns out we were both converts green to awd turbo business, and working on that learning curve, so driver skill was about even.
