STi's came stock with 276 HP and all-wheel drive. What did you expect??

STI's arent all that fast. From a 40 roll it should have been neck and neck till about 100. He must of had some work done. The one I raced had intake I dunno if anything else and we were pretty even till 90 or so. If I remember correctly I was stock at the time.

The awd is not gonna help in a 40 miles per hour roll race itll only hurt it and they do have more power but they also weight alot more. The sti is faster in the quarter but from a roll it should be a pretty even race.

Up front, I'm as guilty of it as anyone else, okay?
That's my disclaimer n' I'm stickin' to it.
But, any of these street matches come with such a pile'a variables that they really don't amount to nothin'.
Pullin' up to a GT-40 at a light n' dustin' 'im's an impressive claim. Right up until you find out that the driver was on the phone, properly frizzin' 'er hair in the iddy-biddy mirror, lookin' for her mascara that rolled into the passenger foot well n' tryin' to get 'er ankle bracelet unhooked from the clutch pedal without breakin' it (the bracelet, not the pedal).
But you never really know do you? You can only attest to the involvement of the person in your driver's seat.
Makes for alodda wasted effort, unnecessary wear-n'-tear on Stewie n', in the wrong environment (An unnoticed cruiser within range/ a vehicle, r', person suddenly appearin' in the "zone") could wind up costin' you you license, r' worse, someone's life n' your freedom.
Yeah, yeah . . I know. The disclaimer. Remember?
You wanna find out if you really beat somethin'/someone r' they handed you your ass . . get in the ring folks.
At the track (Drag r' roadcourse) everybody's givin' it their best shot n' the results r' the results. No excuses.
It's all about holdin' our own leashes, ain't it?
('Sides . . . the GT-40 might'a been parked.)
Be well.

I should be able to take the STI with a NA 2.5 stoker with 280-290 at the crank and my car weighs 600 lbs less.
