Thread: GTP vs. Modded 04 STi

So yesterday I decided to follow a pretty clean STi and toy with him to see if he'd bite. Sure enough he did, Both of us had a passenger in the car and I managed to pull a car on him. Then he asked me to follow him so he could drop off his lady. So 5 minutes later we head to a pretty nice straight from a stop sign. He said he can't go from a dig because of a torn CV boot so we go from around 20. First race he just punched it and I was trying to play catchup. 2nd and 3rd runs he rolled into it while i'm honking. all three runs I was between 2-4 cars behind. Which isn't bad in my eyes since I had a gang stacked against me. Auto, 4000 lbs roughly with me and my buddy in the car, misfire, and only on 10* of timing. Anyhow, here's some of the vids my friend got

whats up with 10* of timing?

My car's been knocking on a 3.6 on 18* of timing, so it's tuned down to 10* so i can safely drive it until I can figure out the issue

i hear ya... it was still gettin it though

Yeah, it still pulls very nice which is why I was gauging my car against something respectable like an STi..

get that knock taken care of and get that timing up ...it should be rapin some ****.

I'm on it haha. Changed out my plugs, getting my exhaust leak fixed and going to see what I can find that might be causing it

modded = what?

a stage 2 (downpipe and catback with a flashed ECU) pushes 300 whp.

You'd know better than I would. You're the impreza guy. I just know it wasn't stock haha

well stop being a woman with your low timing. both of our cars shine from a dig, however, he has traction.

Meh...if anyone remembers the vid of me racing the GTO with the gear and slicks awhile back...I ate him from a dig on street tires...so BAH! To hell with cars that get traction its all about the driver.

YouTube - 03 Camed GTP Vs Bolt on 04 GTO

traction = better driver, duh.

traction = money with good suspension and tires

He wouldn't race from a dig cause of a torn CV boot... All I know is it was ****ing annoying how he kept rolling into the races

Did you ever race one from StarCityracing?

How's the tinfoil work as a heat shield, also?

Nice videos. I watched that one of the G6 GTP beating up on the STI. Guess I need a G6.

You're right... Cause you were there

Brembo brakes for one was a dead giveaway. Crazy how some people will swap parts to make more of a sleeper (like the trunk lid/spoiler) Nevermind it said STi on the front fog assemblies. My bad, you're totally right. Thanks for clearing up my n00b-ness
