Default Lost my 1st race with the TVS

To a nice looking Silver WRX Sti. Lost by a couple feet, I was hazing the tires the entire 500ft we ran. I talked to the guy after wards and he said it was lightly modded to about 60-70 more AWHP than stock to the wheels. It was an 06 I think... Time to finish my tune up and fix my 4wd switch

0-30 in 1.3, quicker than most anything on the street under 50mph. 0-80 in 7.6 stock.

Yeah those sti r crazy fast stock. i ran one with my old motor and i only pulled him by a half truck he took me off the line cause i never spooled the turbo but it was a good race. he was runing 18psi and i was on 9psi. Fix your 4wd and go find him i bet it will be a different story.
