My STi Vs. 04 Vette (non-Z06)

[criz]

I won :)

This morning on the way to work I raced a black 04 vette from a light. We both were making a left in an industrial park by countlyline road and I was behind him at the light. He reved... I reved... and when the light turned green we both launched thru the left hand turn into the 2 lane road and I passed him... it happened really quick but he gave me a thumbs up...

he still wins as far as bad ass looks go :)

Nice its a good feeling ripping a 50 thousand dollar car. :supz:

[criz]

Ahh, but how much did YOURS cost?

[criz]

approx 20k less than his :rock:

i've always wanted to race a vette... now I need to find a Z06 to see how I compare...

also... I need to find an E46 M3... the kid with the mustard yellow one that's in L town wouldnt race one night... haven't had an oppurtunity since

[SilverTurboRidin]

Dont get any ideas with that saturn....cuz that wrx would stomp that shyt

[1988 Olds]

That's a good race man. Both should run low 13s stock. I never thought to think of how fast an STi is compared to a stock corvette. Good thing it wasn't the 05' with an LS2 and 400hp. His Sti probably cost around 32K and a Vette is about 45-50K. His may even handle better, never even looked up the specs. Good Kill man.

That's an understatement.

At best, I have 120 at the wheels. ph33r.

[criz]

the clean sti with the snowboard rack

[SilverTurboRidin]

[criz]

[TalonTsi97]

Good kill. I havent experianced that yet but its gotta be a great feeling killin a car that much more money and all then yours.

[criz]

::raises hand:: :rolleyes: :lol:

[criz]

::raises hand:: :rolleyes: :lol:

heck yea, you know i'm always up for that Chris... especially after the intake and fmic... i'd like to see what diff. it makes this time

[TheWraith]

More details please.
Did you pass him at 50, 80, 100?
By what margin?
When did you both shut it down?
Whas the Vette auto/manual, modded?

[criz]

well, by the time we both made the left on the road we were probably doing 25, 30... and as he chose the left lane, I picked the right and by that time we were both WOT...

as soon as we straightened out I began passing him at a good clip and as we both were accelerating the rate at which I was passing him slowed down but by the time we got to where that road ended we were doing somewhere above 80... i wasn't look at the speed but know the needle was in that area.

his car jumped like it was being shifted by a manual... but I dont know... not sure if it was modded... he made a left at the light and I made a right when it was all said and done...

[TheWraith]

Manual C5s are no slouch on a roll.
They trap nearly 110 mph.
And to pull one in such a short distance is no small feat,
especially with its inherent torque advantage.

I would guess it was an automatic.

[Shades of Gray]

thanks man, it was cool... :)

who's next *no cursing!*!? :devil:

You mean against you or a ZO6...cuz im dying to race one of them myself too. :banana:

Ahh..Boys will be boys! Oh wait! WTF?! I'll take you both on!! :finga:

BTW, niicely done Criz.

[M3_JOHN]

If you kept going he would probably have passed you as you got close to 100mph and above...as your turbo would run out of breath...I see that pheonix yellow M3 in levittown all the time...

i'll let you know if I see him again, I always look for him when I go to work now :)

[M3_JOHN]

btw... are you stock??

[criz]

nope

as far as the motor, I have a TBE and engine management from cobb tuning

what about you?

[M3_JOHN]

just an exhaust..... kind of not worth the money on my car. To get some HP is mother expensive. I wish I had an STi or Evo sometimes.... :cry:

[criz]

dude, your car is super pimp... I'd love to have an E46 sometime in the near future... i'd love to toss a supercharger in one :devil:

if you ever want to drive it, be my guest... but i'd also then have to drive your car too :)

[M3_JOHN]

that would be sweet... you could take my car for a spin whenever... probably wont pull as hard as yours tho... :(

[stichris]

That is true. But regardless, m3's are special :) Yes, even the E46 chassis :finga:

[bad360rt]

I saw a goldish/yellow M3 on the blvd last fall. I thought it was a custom paint job until I saw one online, weird color. Don't know if that's the L-town guy, but it's the only one I've seen on the road.

Yes chris, even we E46 chasis people must bow to the almight E36 :prayer: haha ....... even though we can rape them..... ( runs and hides in corner ) :banana:

congrats on the win - I smoked every "muscle car" i raced in my STi, but that's because it has a p&p VF37 twin-scroll (19psi by 2650rpms) ;)

what year STI? i've been thinking about upgrading the turbo to another IHI unit...

[capaGC8]

2004 - let me know if you are interested in a twin-scroll setup... I know someone who is trying to sell one. AKA insta-boost
