Default '08 wrx vs my 5oooh **RACE update**

*** go to the end of the 2nd page for the story of the race***


my mods

MY 1989 FORD MUSTANG LX VERT AOD5.0 MODIFICATIONS SO FAR 4.10's, professional products typhoon intake, 70mm bbk throttle body, and spacer, stock mass air sensor, bbk cold air intake, stock headers, BBK offroad (no cat's) H pipe, midpipe back flowmasters, light weight pulleys, 3point strut bar on towers and firewall, aftermarket aluminum radiator, shift kit, and "internal work" said this one shop that clamed they did $2000 in work to the AOD tranny. weld racing drag light weight wheels, bf goodrich radial t/a's rubber. and im sure im forgetting a few things

his car is a stock '08 wrx manual

i know the power is pretty close for both our cars, but with mine being a vert, im heavyer.

also he just got the car, so his driving isent going to be perfect.


my tires hold pretty good, but i can only rev to about 1k rpm before my tires spin to come off the line, (crapy stock stall converter)


just wanted to see what you guys think

wewill run tonight, but nothing to serious, ill update later

there was no 03 STI, started in 2004

but 08 WRX is making around 220whp bone stock and can cut 1.7-1.8 60 foots stock

but im thinking your fox is probably a mid 14 second car at best and the wrx is going to be a low 14 second car

yea, if i had a 3000-3200 stall it would be game on, but im not expecting much to be honest.

like i said im hoping on the fact that he just got the car that he wont be able to drive that good.
or my 4.10's willmake up for him having AWD[>:]


we will see, we both get off ad midnight, hes going to take me for a ride in it, becase ive never been in one, and then we will jump out and prob start from a dig, and see where that go's

nothing to crazy, i dont like to drive nuts on public roads
