What?

Match1 doesn't exist, and if you meant Mach1, an '02 doesn't exist either.

"Well shoot, he's faster, and my little 2.5L 4 cylinder doesn't have enough power, so I'll just use turbo to push more air into the cylinders."

Last I checked when you run out of nitrous...my turbo will still be spooled.

Cicatrize and I had a PM discussion, and I think that we're on the same page. So it's all up to you, alexlakeman. I'm asking nicely...please follow our rules.

Thanks ray. It's always interesting to learn about "the other side of the fence" ie z's, mustangs, vettes, etc

+1 I enjoy learning about other cars even those dreaded srt-4's and cobalts I still find it interesting.

Fixed!

never lost to a mustang gt and I have raced a at least 3, including the 320hp shelby. I did lose to a cobra but he was pushing almost 500whp and 500 tq. I beat him to 65 then he passed me like I was standing still

You guys have how much hp stock? IF you have 300 to the crank, it's not that far off the GT's, so I can undertsand why so fast...lol I am going to search around the forum to see the basic mods you all have and how significant it is in hp.

As for the GT, you have stock , 265 or so...plus spray 125 = 390...

Or, stock 265 +bolt ons = I guess around 300...

I imagine with just a cai and a boost increase, you guys make a big gain? Intercooler? It's already intercooled from factory...

Hey, i am admitting the subarus I raced were quick.... ahh, but nothing beats the sound of a V8 exhaust

1. STi's dont necesairly have a big wing on them. Some do, some drive wingless, some use the decklid. It's all personal prefrence. My opion is decklid or wingless = the sex. My wing's sitting in the garrage.

2. Our cars dont like cai's without a tune.
3. FMIC is relatively pointless without a turbo swap.
4.I love the sound of a V8 exhaust also but you can make your STi sound loud as **** too if thats what your going for lol
5. Yea our get more performance mod for mod but thats because we're turbo'd. Anything turbo'd is gonna be generally easier to tune then a NA motor.

500rwhp and his front wheels are lifting upwards. If you did beat him to 65 it was completely at his discretion. 0-40 and 500 rwhp takes over unless your running some pretty crazy #'s urself.
