please tell me how a WRX is going to trap at 120+mph with minor mods.ill be sure to pass it on to my 2 friends with STi's,as im sure they would be dying to know too.the ONLY reason the STi will give the Viper a slight chance at losing is because of its AWD.and thats from a dead stop.its going to take quite a bit to get an STi into the low 12's,and its going to take a hell of a lot to get them to trap at 120+.in a car that heavy and boxy,its going to take atleast 500hp at the crank.my friend had a regular WRX only got his into the mid 12's with a 106 trap.the extra .5 liter will not alone get it to trap another 15+ mph faster.
and on the subject of LS1/6's and the stupid ass comment"theres a reason F bodies were discontinued",thats just plain ignorance.the LS series of motors are nothing to take lightly.go up against a heads/cam or a supercharged LS1 or god help you a LS6 Z06 and we'll see who sees whos rear license plate.and even better is the fact that i can go and buy a little used Z28 for 25k,throw 5k at it in mods,and totally blow your little STi away.at the autocross and at the strip.
no one here said the STi was a bad car in any way.i actually like them,but i would rather have an LS1 f body or a used C5 for the same if not LESS money.
oh and if you didnt get the point before,the STi is NOT the godly car everyone thinks it is.good yes,but all things holy no.
INEFFICIENT V8's OWN AND WILL ALWAYS OWN.
