By any chance, are you hitting E-Town tonight? Try and swing by if not, as they'll be at least fifty to seventy five STI/EVO's representing. The more F-Body's, the merrier...

All the races I've seen on the sti vs z06, sti gets the lead on the launch, by the 1/8th, the z06 goes flying by. Are the sti's that good from a roll? I've heard (and seen) that from a roll that the ls1 will get the sti.

Stock STi sucks from a roll. However, after turbo work, or a new turbo, they can be pretty good from a roll.

Sorry, I couldn't make it tonight. I'm still finishing up the semester at college, finals suck

I'll see if I can get some guys together over the summer and we'll take a ride down though. Sounds like a good time

Yep, 4.10 gears allow the car to accelerate faster since the ratios are shorter. Same reason the STI/Evo use short, close ratio gearing to help acceleration.

Pro 5.0 is an aftermarket shifter, basically a shorter throw and more accurate pattern. Lots of guys have trouble with the 2-3 shift with the stock unit, the Pro 5.0 fixes that issue completely.

V8This u stock or modded?

I ran into some prick in my school with a STi not too long ago and pretty much won (i had to go on the other side of the road for a while, a car came and he wouldnt let me merge ahead so i had to brake then get behind him). When my car reacted to the gas, his rear fender was aligned to my front. When I braked, my rear fender was aligned with his front fender. It was I'm guessing from 30 to 90 MPH. Oh yea him=stick me=auto...maybe he just didnt know how to drive :-D

Hmm, sounds interesting. I don't think it would be a complete blow out, but I do think it would make for one hell of a race. I'd take you up, but you are a distance away...
