Damn did that thing jump out of the whole.

I really think i want one of those.

dallison

damn that was f'n quick. looks like if you give the camaro about 1/2 mile or more he would take em

Scooter

now if only that friggin wing wasn't such an eyesoar

tmk70

That wing ruins an otherwise nice looking and very fast car.

I want an STi so bad, minus the wing.

tmk70

I would imagine the dealer would probably put a regular WRX wing on an STi for you....I don't think you can get the STi without the wing....wonder if you could just order one factory direct without that thing.

Scooter

or get an STi with the wing and pray to God the regular WRX wing has the same drill hole dimensions

i don't see why they wouldn't

for our cars, i think there are markers for the holes a dealership makes to install our spoilers

I think what most people who don't like the wing are doing is trading the entire hood. That would make it seem like the wholes do not match up. It should be an option. Have seen one without a wing and man is it a sleeper. Looks pretty good actually

Nice vid.

And i agree with the wing comments.

srika

obviously no rally fans here... if you've seen what the STI can do on the rally circuits.. you'd be

What I'm saying is, all of the arguably "ugly" components on the STI have a purpose... they are not there for looks.

I personally, think they look good.

Scooter

that's great for rally events...on the streets in everyday driving conditions, it's just a lil different

under 100 - 120, no wing serves a purpose...after that, THEN i'd agree with you

the extent of racing most of us do is drag or autox, neither of which will have a significant impact from the wing

and yes, i am a rally fan

swclown

^^^^^ What he said....

srika

Get a normal WRX then.

Cuz you can't handle the STi

srika

also using your logic, no car should be able to do above like, 75 or 80 mph, because well, there's no reason you would ever go faster than that, on the streets under everyday driving conditions.

vinarnold

nice vid ,have to get rid of that spiler ...

Scooter

exactly why that huge wing doesn't serve a purpose, cept "just for decorashon" :bubbarubb

Repo1234

I like the wing! Yes it would look a whole lot better without it, but I dont mind it. Shit!!! it's an STI for cyring out loud!!!!!!

srika

no what I was saying is, you can buy a car that will do over 200 mph. why? I wasn't saying something you would say "exactly" to...

srika

yeah it makes the thing look tough, kind of like a bulldog.

sort of.

Doc.Booty

I don't like the agressive hood scoop or the wing.

amisconception

thanks for the videos you've been linking us

lou_RENAMED

sti can go through a clutch in one drag day....because they have to launch at like 5K rpms.....if it doesnt it would lose.

so yea it will win but need a new clutch by the end of the day while the camaro can run all day and be ready the next day

srika

but at the end of the day the camaro is a camaro and the sti is an sti

Ant7701

I like the wing too, but I really wanna hear the rest of their convo...I wanna here his excuse

darrinb

seen this vid before, the ss def is realing him in

I think you're underestimating the tranny/clutch of the STi.. It's night and day compare to a WRX component. I've haven't heard any clutch/tranny problem at NASIOC or Clubwrx, but there are some that literally snap the rear axle with multiple passed at the track. I myself have 0 problem with my STi, 10k miles(knock on wood)...

lou_RENAMED

well let me warn you now my boy bought his STI and started dragging it...in two outings clutch was badly used up where it was noticeable

I dont know how many miles he had before he started to drag it but remember AWD (almost no wheel spin)with close to 300lbs of torque at 5K rpm..there is only so much a clutch can take IMO

Ray Khan

an OEM one can't take it, an aftermarket can take that kind of abuse. I know DSM guys with over 150 drag passes and whatever they do on the street on their clutches.....and I'm talking about cars with a lot more power than a stock STi. The nice thing about clutches and you don't pay much more for the high psi rated ones. I bought my 6 puck and 12 lb aluminum flywheel for about what an OEM clutch costs from Audi.

lou_RENAMED

there is no question that the sTI with a little money invested to right mods would have many KILL stories to tell.

my friend that bought the car doesnt like modding his car so when he found out his clutch was shot.....he took it to the dealer and claimed it was a defect and since the car was under his dads name his 50 + year old dad took it to the dealer

the dealer believed the dad and I think they replaced it "GOODWILL ACT" and he hasnt dragged it yet.

nice car overall love the seats

Ray Khan

ha..nice...I know a chic who was into racing her Audi, she went through 3 clutches before 30k miles...dealer repleced them all. I would have no suck luck.

jqturbo

Sweet vid! Damn, launching at 5500 rpm w/barely any wheel spin must be nice! Those trannies are built tough!

I'd like to see that race from a role!

darrinb

yea, they should of raced from a roll, show that ricer boy car whats up

95gt

Don't let the jealousy show too much. Admit it, an STI is a pretty sweet car

F23A4

Yeah that SS is pulling in that STi something fierce before braking out.
