WRX STi vs 75 Shot CL-S w I/H

Its goin' down this Friday night.

InfernoTLS owns the STI. He got it a little over a month ago. He has some auto cross / road racing track time, but not much experience down the 1320.

Place your bets now. Who is gonna win?


Mag numbers say he will, but it'll be a drivers race.

automatic = no shift worries. i dunno. could depend on how he launches that STi. if he doesnt side-step the clutch at 5+ grand, he's not going to perform on par with the mags.

it will be video taped.

darrinb, yeah, I'll be on the 19s, but I'm gonna do some weight reduction. (no front / back seats, nothing in trunk, anything that is loose is getting kicked out of the car)

Yes, I will spray out of the hole.

Good luck, 75 shot will put you near a 13.5 from my experience. Mind you it was on the stock tires...

Good luck... I would lean towards the WRX. A good drive will hammer you out of the hole...


But anything is possible racing

He's talking about stock.

A friend of mine ran 13.7 all day with his two-week old STi at the end of July...bone stock, except for some system stuff in the trunk. He has quite a bit of experience launching and driving his Supra TT, but the STi is different.

If you can keep close at the launch, and if you have no problems with the spray, you should be able to get him, but it'll be close. Weight reduction will certainly help you.

Good luck, bro!

Oh and afterwards you can go to New Orleans Nights and say hello to Danielle for me! Of all the "clubs" I've been to that place made my top three! Jaguars in vegas and Chez Paree in Montreal round out the other two! Love the music!

STi's are running low low 13's, like 13.1@105, if that guy launches like a maniac then it wont be a pretty sight.

What's the power to weight ratio of the STI vs. CLS on the bottle? You should be pushing 300+ fwhp with a 75.

Oh, as far as who's going to win, I bet a drink for the winner . . . so what's it going to be Mantis?

And sorry Inferno, no offense, but Mantis is already down in the 14.5s and the 75shot should put him in the high 13s.

My bet is Mantis will run a 13.89 and Inferno a 14.07.

Let's see's who's guess will be the closest.

And man I'm really pissed that I'm missing out tomorrow night. :'(

If RUF says it's so, it's so--RUF is never wrong about races (true).

So it's all gonna come down to the launch, huh? If so, Mantis, don't be spraying until second gear 'cause all you will be doing is wasting rubber with that FWD off the line!
