    also I am wondering about how you say a STI is going to run a 13.8 yet a Evo8 is going to run a 13.3 the STI has more hp and more torque weighs about the same as the evo yet you claim (well the second time around) that the evo is faster somebody really need to read up on their info...

    hehe quote C&D I couldn't find where you found the info but most mags do no justice to cars times I remember R&T was sayin a LS1 camaro SS ran 13.9 at 105.5 but doing some looking in at C&D I found that your 0-60 for the STI is off you claim 5.9 I am seeing 4.9...

    most the time ppl also bring up the skidpad which I find that very funny MANY ppl seem to think that a static rate turn, with a static load, on a static smooth flat surfance, at a static speed, going only one direction is going to have an effect on a very dynamic world of handling where...

    need to get your story straight first you say this then you go on to say second the BASE wrx runs flat with a good driver the STI is around the low 13 range also you say the lancer is about a 13.8-14 flat range f you really think a 162hp AT MOST lancer is going to run a 14 flat...

    isn't the EVO 8 on the same grounds as the WRX STI? if so that would make it around low 13's since just the plain jane WRX is around what 13.9 or so range as you said

    a low what 13 second car vs a a high 13 second car at best and yet the only way the GT driver woudl lose is if he misses a shift or something??? I figured the almost second difference between them on the 1/4 would be the reason why the GT woudl lose not the GT missing a shift and woudl...

    best oil?

    I swear that there has been dyno's showing ginas between synthetic vs dino thought it wasn't from drying out the seals but rather already old seals having all the sludge or other grime away from the seal and then going out through the leak so if that was the case the seal is already gone...

    best oil?

    if your going to use a synthetic oil prolly best to get away from castrol being you pay synthetic price for what many do not call a true synthetic something about a true synthetic uses actual manmade base stocks while castrol still uses dino juice just refines it but mobil 1 seems to...

    Honesty, dumb question? RX8 or new Stang?

    lol I can't believe mazda is having flooding issues again the FC rx7 specificlyu the 86-88 had the worst problem while the 89-91 FC's (second gens) did ok but if the temps where cold outside and you turned the car on and started it up let it run for a second or two then shut if off...

    Why nitrous guys with 100-150 shots with stock injectors

    also something that can make a bit of help is turning the fuel pressure up this way they can force more fuel into the system but I don't think it would make THAT much of a difference would have to check into that bu as the other guy said prolly using a wet system which in itself puts...

    Gears effect top speed?

    actually a big reason why they work better after gears is more torque due to torque multiplication a motor putting out 200lbs/ft of torque through a total gearing of 5:1 vs same 200lb/ft motor of torque through total gearing of 2:1 motor one puts out 1000lbs/ft at the wheels motor two...

    Quick question i was wondering about

    your exhuast side can cause a minor rich or lean condition as well though thats the joy of scavenging if your running a pure MAP sensor expect to go a little lean cause the exhuast system is now pulling the exhuast out a lot better which in turn pulls more of an intake charge in
