B18C5 EG Coupe vs. 2011 WRX vs. VR6 GTI vs. 06+ Civic Si


Mods in the vid. I was too busy cursing my NCAA bracket to go out last night, but supposedly a lot of good footage.

^ Set it up! You would probably be a good run for the EG coupe. Although for some reason, I think this coupe is faster than his hatch...

IDK........I have yet to run the Coupe, but I find it hard to assume it would be faster considering it is heavier.

The Si in the video has a messed up CMC which is why he is shifting painfully slow. I wanted to do pulls with him the night before and he declined me, go figure.

I would consider the 2nd run with the si a red light.

Why are their so many roll races and none from a dead stop?

The vids are great as always man.

It just seams a roll race would never end up a fair start for one or the other.

I think the exact opposite as you do. I've seen 13 second WRXs put it on 11 second Mustangs on the street from a dig, all due to superior traction. To me, that sh*t is meaningless. I'm more about finding out what car is faster and by giving a car a traction advantage/disadvantage it just doesn't make too much sense. Let's also factor in that, 95% of the people from the area I am from will jump you from a dig. Therefore, if you are racing two 13.50 cars from a dig and one reacts a second faster (or jumps, since there aren't lights on the street) the race is over. I guess I've just seen way too many races in my time to car much about a traction contest. If I wanna race from a dig, I'll be at the track on a drag radial or slick. The street isn't that serious, imo. My .02

It's nice to see the stock GR WRX hang with your ride from a roll, even after starting slightly behind. I'm sure you'd do better without the passenger.
