Default 2008 Subaru STi against a 2007 Pontiac G6 GTP

YouTube - 2008 STi vs 2007 G6 GTP

After 4-5 months of having my car, and this is my first stick. First half I had a friend recording in my car who owns an STi. After the races he kinda showed me how to launch; also how its nice to race without the traction control on.

You should take the G6 very easily once you learn the launch and quick shifts.

Didn't care, just wanted people to see it and give me some more tips. It's all in good fun for me.

More than the losses, the inclusion of video that's so dark it might as well have had the lens cap on shouldn't have been included in the clips at all.

actually i lost a friend so im just kind of uptight about that immaturity you know. i couldnt give a fock if you want to go ahead and risk your own life, but there's no need to risk others. you shouldnt be the one in control for theirs, only your own. which is why i do my runs when there is absolutely no one around or in the car at all. there is just no point. if you want to know which car is better, there are professionals paid to find out. just go pick up a magazine or internet article and find out that way. or for the ultimate test between drivers, only a track ftw.

yeah just something to think about you know. its always fun the first few times until you get caught or worse yet, injured and/or cause an injury. so all im saying is not to abuse it before that something will happen cause it will inevitably guaranteed if you continue to run out your luck. and i brought it up because there was only one run of only one car at the drag in this video which was kind of odd if you guys were trying to see who was faster.
