Hey guys what would I have to do to my car in order to run with an STI, from a roll not necessarily from a dig because if its a good driver they have you every time just about. I have Borla Stinger axlebacks on my 07 GT right now and my next mod I believe is the SCT Xcal 2 w/ C&L intake. Has anyone had any luck against stock STI's and with what mods?
Here is the thing though he told me on the phone he was stock, pictures of his car indicate otherwise. He at least has a catback exhaust system. Those things don't run 12.9 stock do they?
Grant it my car was only a couple hours old at the time

Depends on the launch and how hard they are on the trans. Most people will have to work at it a *lot* to get it down to a 12.9, but could do 13.1-13.3 with some effort.

Here is a small vid of mine from the summer of 05.
I have a C&L Street intake and a canned C&L 93 Octane tune in the car running on the factory 17" tires.
My car ran a 13.4 with 2 of us in the car.
They were also 2 in the STI but he didn't dump from the rev limiter.
Dumping from the limiter he would have been right next to us.
The car ran 12.95 in the same configuration on BFG Drag Radials.
With the addition of the Steeda U/D Pullies it ran a 12.82.

What I'm getting at is that if you don't thrash an STI you're not going anywhere.Something happened to the guy in the STI at the start. I've raced those cars and they'll take us at the start but we'll pull them in the 1/4. The 1/8th will be scarry with an STI. We need the second 1/8th to let pull them for sure.
