STI vs Camaro Z28 98+

**Sleeper101** · 08-02-2008, 05:56 PM

My O2 is go to the track and find out!!

Its a Drivers race from any stand point.

Its MOSTLY about the Air condions, Temps, Elevation ETC!!

On a 70 Degree night I pick up a tenth at the Track compared to a 90 Degree night!! Track times are never consistent. Im sure a STI has been 12's Stock, But I bet it was a Cold night and the air was good.

if you race him from a stop, its going to take you a long while, meaning youll start cathing up to him slowly after 110 mph.

with all wheel drive and even a good driver, very high 12s are a reality.
those cars hook really good out of the hole.

I think thats pretty high...

Check out this video of a catback LS1 GTO vs an STI, definitely no 110MPH...

I'd say more like 50MPH.

If you can launch your car well don't be scared. When i first learned to launch my WS6 I would get owned by Evo's/STI's. Eventually I could launch hard and put my 352 rwhp to the ground and I would run right with them. AWD helps. It's great for launching but if you get a stall or learn to launch a M6 well. Its on.

**Eric1987** · 08-14-2008, 11:58 AM

Well I have no real clue how to launch my M6 without traction control so I'm probably fucked until I learn.

**My2002SS** · 08-14-2008, 12:20 PM

does ur friend even have an sti? ill run my stock 02 against him if you'd like.

**Eric1987** · 08-14-2008, 12:34 PM

Haha no he has a TL though which he thinks is faster than my camaro. He told me if he wanted something with raw power he'd get an STI. I told him mine was STILL faster than that and thats how it happened.

**My2002SS** · 08-14-2008, 01:38 PM

Just thought i'd give a fellow local 'maro owner some back-up

o.k, but ive seen with my own eyes STIs do high 12s.
if your a mid 13 second car then you wont start pasing him till a higher speed.
what i mean is if the STI has 5-6 cars on a person in the 1/4 mile marker, its gonna take a lot to pass him up.

**buswwa** · 08-14-2008, 06:33 PM

It's actually tough to say how hard the 08 STI really can hit so far. It has a driver controlled center dif, with the new SI drive (think of it as driver controlled engine management) and a nasty traction control that it never had before. Ive had the fortune of driving one on Moroso Raceway

and they do hit peak torque lower,

pushing you in the seat a little harder. I'd still say stock for stock it's a drivers race.

But the STI is working valiantly to close the gap.

**slpcamaro** · 08-14-2008, 06:41 PM

from a roll you'll kill em, and from the line a non pro driver you'll catch him real quick tell em to shut his mouth and race.

**adam3566** · 08-14-2008, 09:32 PM

Decent stall+good tires = awd is training wheels for beginners.

Yup, just ask Jon Sheppard.

**dpeach** · 08-15-2008, 09:40 AM

I thought John Sheppard ran a rwd tsi?

**Sleeper101** · 08-15-2008, 01:00 PM

LOL, No its AWD all the way.

**N20LT4** · 08-15-2008, 01:11 PM

Okay, so can somebody tell me what a new STI really runs in the quarter-mile...like how fast has one been in stock form, versus the average times most drivers see with them?
