bolt-ons dont make a car faster, it`s the combination of well selected parts that does. especially on domestic car where one can get lost in the
tons of aftermarket choices. this guy probably had the wrong setup.

He had exhaust, headers, chipped, and an intake. That should make a lil bit more power than stock

I bought an STi for it"s "Quickness and agility" (from a small engine)....and it"s perfect for 0-80 runs in a safe place...enough to embarrass so called "hot sports cars"> For- 100 mph + racing, I would buy an autobahn racer < big high performance v8 with high rpm > not my cup of tea.

Mmm, notihng like a guy looking like a fool. If any body that can drive an American car was in that seat, they wouldn't have foot braked the car off the line.

Vette was doing a brake-stand for poseur points, not for speed.....

If he did...he would of lost traction and spun.

is it just me, or do the rest of you guys, after watching one of these vids, watch a lot more vids related on you tube? My point is this, I start watching all of these other vids and make the mistake of reading some of the ignorant post made by people who watch them. There were a few vids of STI's and Evos racing and in most of the races they were pretty close (hell both cars are damn close stock) but then Evo fans have to start running smack just because a STI barely won. Hey, I love my car but I am a fan of cars in general and I realize that there is always going to be someone out there faster. It just pisses me off when fools start saying crap about Subies just because they see a vid in which their favorite car gets beat, wake up people that is life.

Beating a c5 is nothing to write home about. When modded or in z06 fashion they are quick but stock base ones arent that fast

Ye I know....But beating a nice looking Sports (with a V8) car like the Vett is always entertaining.
