Wow, I'm like never on these forums... Anyway I noticed this reply You have a track car and yet you havent dyno tuned it? o.O It is NOT a track car... I just don't have it on the road because I'm in school and going to school in mechanical engineering and minoring in business mean I have no time to ...

You can always save yourself a ton of $ and just make your own, that's what I did on my old IROC Z. Costed me around $30 and it looked a hell of a lot better than anything you can buy.

Or if their torque converter was worn out, they could just gas it fast and the slip would be an engine revving.

I'm really leaning towards the old pickup trucks

They might not be too dependable, and bad on gas. I'd say toyota tacoma.

I'd say any Toyota, Saturn, Honda, you know any of the base economy cars...

Does anybody here even have a car over 400hp, 300+ is rare enough

I'm sure I have over 400hp, but I havn't had my car dynoed, and don't think I will anytime soon, not having any money and not even having the car on the road...

now lets throw in some corners

But if these car's were made for corners, wouldn't they be much better off as RWD considering AWD will have some understeer...

The only article I could find on Motor Trend lists both cars dead even on the 1/4 mile. Here's the Motor Trend article comparing both the top 2005 models: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedan/112_0410_rally_sedan_comparison/specs_price.html I couldn't find an article comparing both the 2006 on...

I'm in college now and nothing's happened to the Porsche 944s I drive. I don't know a kid in my school who's had a car wrecked or anything. If they don't destroy a Porsche, I doubt they'd destroy an STI. I'd say just get the car that you want, it's your life and you should be able to make your own d...

In Motor Trend the 1/4 mile went STI 13.0 sec @ 103.5mph EVO 13.3 sec @103.4 mph AND this test was between the base model STI @ 33,620 vs the non base MR version of the EVO, and the base model still beat the EVO MR. Also the STI has a better weight dist. with 58/42 to the EVO's 61/39, but most impor...

The easiest and cheapest way to a faster car? Save up for a new one. +1, forced induction is not cheap, so if you really wanted some power, it's be best to save up and buy like a thirdgen camaro or firebird, I bought mine running for only $1200, which is around twice the price you'd pay for a nitro...

I've always found it easier to drive when sitting closer to the steering wheel and pedals. Hmm, maybe that's why Nascar drivers sit that way...

I own a trans am with a 350 and its fuel injected...

no rice here 12.9 sec 1/4 @ 112mph with a 2.08 60' http://www.solisstyle.com/ims/pic.php?u=44447OxiW&i=66370 http://www.solisstyle.com/ims/pic.php?u=44447OxiW&i=66371 http://www.solisstyle.com/ims/pic.php?u=44447OxiW&i=66372 Yeah yeah, you took back the ricer issue, but FWD wasn't only ...

Actually the Evo always wins againts the STI, and not just in the curvies

The STI beat the EVO in almost every category during the Motor Trend test. It has a better power per pound ratio, more hp, better acceleration time, and it's less expensive. Tehy said the EVO only one for looks.
