For the mods I have, I am more than likely putting TO THE WHEELS around 310-320. This is just a rough estimate. My story is indeed true, so take it as you please. As I stated before in my story....... I only ran through 4th gear and into a small amount of 5th. I would have LOVED to do it again, but the guy obviously didn't want to go, since he just drove off. Why would the C6 not want to do it all over again if I took him out once already? I would have hopped back in the C6 if I were him and tried to show me that wasn't all I had. Think about it.

There could be many reasons why he didn't run again, and I said that I didn't doubt your story. I just think that there was something missing because I honestly think that if I was in that C6 it would have been a different outcome. The C6 is putting more to the wheels than 310-320 and it is light as hell. He should have beat you handidly. I think you beat the driver and not the car.
I like the Sti - it's one of my favorite cars in Forza Motorsports on XBOX.
First off, Matthockey, I don't think I've ever seen pics of your car, videos of your car, a dyno graph of your car, in other words, I think you're full of ****. I've also posted very few kills with my car, you're welcome to search for some, w/o posting a video of me doing it. *looks a couple post up...310-320awhp....*
To JDaniel and 2000si, are you guys nuts? You two have no experience with nitrous, you've never used it, you know NOTHING about it. It's not like 2 fast and 2 furious where you run out of nitrous at key times. Besides, I made 367rwhp on a 50rwhp shot of gas, I now make a measily 375rwhp on MOTOR! I'll make 400+ with the manual put in. The best the EVO has EVER ran is 7.87 @ 89 mph....how impressive is that? Hell, his best short time is 1.67...all hail the AWD...I went better than that **** on NITTO'S! But sure, that EVO is just too much w/o the gas....
I wish some of you would do more drag racing and less internet racing.

Hey, numbnuts... it's called a joke. Step away from the ****in crackpipe Derek.
I'm calm. Derek knows that 99% of the time I'm joking with him. Besides, he has a sense of humor and we used to talk all the time on AIM.
Until we do to him what he does to us and talk about his car!
werd. Just... werd. I remember how he went off on me SOO bad because I told him the only reason he bought nitrous is because he kept getting his ass handed to him by an import. Boy... did that ever piss him off.

For those of you who want pics, I'll try to get SilverGTV8 to take some today. I don't have a camera and no clue how to post, so hopefully I can get him to do it.

Cobb products are strictly for Subaru as far as I know, but they do research on cars. What I mean is they do kinda like an in house testing concept. They work mainly with subarus, but some of thier employers have much more knowlege in other companies. There was one guy that did a show last month and he spoke about he was more familar with Hondas, and drag cars. They obviously know alot regarding cars, so......
As far as exhaust, I am running a Mad Dad header and up-pipe (local vendor here, with great parts), along with Bosal down-pipe and cat-back it's 2.75' throughout. And NO it's not like a damn fart cannon!!!! With the set up I have on it, it sounds mostly stock until i get on the gas. Not obnixious or anything, just a nice boxer rumble.

Yes, well, I was mainly aiming that towards Matthockey, since he doesn't even have a car, and JD, b/c he's an idiot. I know you were kidding James, I just didn't clarify it enough. Everyone that knows me knows the reason I got nitrous....to outrun the EVO. So I don't ever remember jumping on you about that...? It's hard to outrun people that dump TONS of $ in their cars when you don't....nitrous was the easiest way out. It shut a lot of people up, in other words.
JD, you still don't understand....I'm not picking on your car....I'm not picking on what it ran, I'm wondering how in the hell it trapped so low. How many times must I tell you that? You could have ran a mid 15 and trapped at 135 mph, then I'd have been more impressed than you trapping what you did.
You guys can make fun of my car all you want. It creeps...to me, at least. If you're going to make fun of it though, at least have some facts....tell me my rear end sucks or something, not "the bottle doesn't last forever..." Why doesn't it? Is it a depleting resource that we're gonna run out of sometime soon?
MaSTi...nice kill. Sorry for the jack. Nice car btw.

well, since i go to Commerce almost every friday night and average about 10 runs a night i think i do alot of racing. and yes i do have a car. i used to have nitrous but i hated having to fill the damn thing every other week at $200 a bottle. the reason i don't have pics or video is because unlike some people there are more important things for me to spend my money on, like more mods, my girlfreind, gas, car payment and insurance. oh, i didn't mention school. i work 30 hours a week and go to school 40 hours a week. i don't have time to post pics if i could.

I'm 20, I work full time, go to school full time, have a gf, get 11mpg, have two car payments and two insurance payments....so YOU have no excuse.
$200 a bottle...I can buy a brand new bottle for that much....or have mine filled 5 times AND it's a 15lb bottle.
