s2k vs sti highway race
#61
I had a S/C'd S that was putting down 308 whp before a shop messed it up. I now have an STi that put down 280 whp. I know for a fact that the my STi would murder a S/C'd S from any lower rate of speed but not sure on the top end. That's where the S really had the uumpphhhh! My STi has an APS top mount intercooler, APS 3" tbe, Walbro 255 fuel pump, drop in filter and the ECUTek reflash. I am hoping to have 330-350 whp on pump gas (91) next week with the APS SR50 turbo, 770cc injectors and another reflash. Once that goes in, I really think it will walk away from the S/C'd S's. The S is so much more fun to drive, even in stock form. So many people rev on me in regards to the huge spoiler. I just laugh and let them beat me. I will let you guys know how I run with the boosted S2K's after next weekend (megameet) when we are out in the middle of nowhere in the desert. I will have another S with in a year from now.

From what Ive read on the forums that seems about right . Since other people have stated that a stock evo looses power in the higher rpm range on the freeway due to the ecu lowering the boost for reliability issues. Can anyone comfirm this or am I just talking b/s.

LOL, im not saying all outcomes will be the same, too may conditions. But that is just our experience.
Actually last weekend I tried to race an 04 on the Freeway, I was cruising in the middle lane on the freeway and he came up in the slow lane. I paced him for a bit, then downshifted, lol, I know he heard my rpms go up (he had his window down) but he just kept looking straight, he wouldnt budge, then he eventually pulled off the freeway. Dammit, I wanted an unbiased race against an S on the freeway

I raced a modded Evo before on the freeway and it fast it was pulling on me for bit but I was ahead the whole time. I could see the Evo pulling slowly but at higher speed it seem the Evo started to fall back. That was bone stock though I don't know how it is now.

1st. My car is SC and 4.57 gears. I raced one that was bone stock and ran away from it 2 cars from 60 to 130. I raced my bud with the 430 h.p. kit and he only pulled me by half of a car. He said he was going to smoke me.

I have raced a few Impreza on the highway before, never from the stop tho!!
I am SC'd with aftercooler... I could walk away from the stock STi and most of slightly modded STi. However, I believe a well modded STi will put us in shame tho!

Hey Demon, when you say you run a SC, which one are you talking about? Also any other mods or upgrade under the hood? Thanks!
I'm curious cause I have a buddy with a STI always talking shit, so I guess with a little right mod hopefully I can shut his ass up! Thanks again!
