Quote:I'm not trying to be a dick or an elitist or anything, but I've seen an STi with a downpipe and engine management beat an SRT-10 Viper on the drag strip 2 runs out of 4. Horsepower doesn't mean dick if you can't get the traction to turn it into speed.
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's impressive that a well-tuned AWD 4 cylinder car can smoke a muscle car with more than twice the displacement and cylinders~
Under no circumstances is the WRX a good choice for drag racing. Tell me what the fastest American Spec STi runs...now tell me what the fastest American Spec Evo8 runs...now explain why there is such a difference.
Yes, Traction is THE most important part of racing, ANY kind of racing. But we're not all trying to be the quickest or the fastest...he can have plenty of b00st without buying a new car...
Andy I'll shoot Mike an email soon and see what the deal is...in fact I'll talk with you about it in person but I wanted to make this post appear productive.

No, it = fun. Don't be mad because I can spin the tires at 70 mph and you can't.
