My Sti vs. my buddies Evo... It was close but I lost :(

Turkishexpress · 08-29-2005, 06:08 PM

Here is a video from this weekend. I headed up to Skyline drive with a couple of DC Evo Club guys.

BTW - I had a little more weight in the car to begin with. I weigh 254lbs + my lady (I can't say her weight due to obvious reasons) + picnic Basket w/ 12 cans of soda, 2 gallons of water + trunk full of tools and a dead body... Jokin' about that last one. Anyways, I lost fair and square. The evo has 272 cams tuned by Al at dynoflash and its a beast.

The pulls were all from 3rd gear. I had to start around 4-5K rpm...

Here it is...

HAHa! dam i saw a lot of EVO's must of been some sloter. Anyways. I liket some of the camera work just that he wasn that good with the zoom and moving the cam to much into the car.

sorry but that video is horrible

nice-rice · 08-29-2005, 11:06 PM

I dont think it was that bad. Considering the mods on each car you did very well.

whitson01 · 08-30-2005, 03:49 AM

the sti still has a nicer azz..

I have heard that every 100 lbs you can remove off your car takes one tenth of a second off the 1/4 mile speed. so you figure your girl (100 lbs approx, + all that other crapola that is about 175-200 lbs) take all that weight out and see what happens. i know that in my STI, i can feel the difference in power when just one of my buddies is in the car.

If we did a 4th gear pull I would have had him. There is actually a third run in which I did win by half a car length but he said that he wasn't ready...

It was a camerawoman hanging out of a MR w/ TBE and 272 cams custom tuned at dynoflash. The driver wasn't ready to take off on the first run and left the car on fifth gear when the action started.

05SilverSTI · 08-31-2005, 08:23 PM

yea the camerawoman needs to keep the camera on the cars not on everything else

RonBang · 08-31-2005, 09:14 PM

Why do people find the need to put music into these vidoes i think its alot better when you can hear the cars and not some stupid song...am i right or wrong? In the videos i like to hear the cars accelerating hearing the exhaust not music...and yeah was the camera girl tryin to film ufos or somthing?

drdome99 · 09-01-2005, 05:06 AM

Damn straight. I would much rather hear the cars.

I absolutely love how aggressive the STi looks. Now I know what my STi looks like coming up behind someone and changing into the passing lane. If I had one behind me and didn't really know cars, that would make me nervous.

I must admit there was too much traffic for my taste but other than that good runs! I'm actually surprised a stg 2 STi hung so well with a tuned Evo.

The only thing you probably would've heard was the wind whipping by the camera. Besides, it was a good song....one of only two good songs Disturbed has ever released.
