Knowing what I know about subies and knowing what I know about lt1 f bodies my monies on mike as long as he doesn't blow the launch ;)

Subie should be the faster car, but harrder to launch. auto lt1 with DRs is point and click lol no sleeping at the tree mike.

Why I love my car on the street, no one ever expects me to get out as hard as i do lol

Drag radial, auto, rwd car with klabs power don't hold a candle to awd boosted launch. I've driven/owned a lot of cars over the years and you need a lot more than 300 horse in a rwd car to compete with a proper subie launch. They aren't that hard once you get used to it.

Not with the launch control it really doesn't. I know how hard my fiancés can leave without that. Now add in launching under boost with a bigger motor and turbo? There's very few cars on this forum that could hang with that out of the hole.
Don't get me wrong, I love me my f bodies. Owned every gen except a fifth, built/ worked on numerous ones of all sorts. Also have a wrx and have worked on/driven sti's. have to give credit where it's due and most muscle car guys don't give them the credit they deserve ;)

Fact is the sti makes more hp and is lighter. It's a no brainer even when adding the awd launch

ZFreie 08-04-2013 01:53 AM

Anyone put their sti on a scale? lol

My84Z 08-04-2013 02:11 AM

Curbweight is 3250-3300 for an sti.
