My friend just bought an 05 WRX STi, how will i hold up against him with a greddy TT setup, strictly bolt on??(on my Z) it will be with the FMIC and tuned as well. He has a Stock STi, eventually he will upgrade with a BOV, actuator and a boost controller... how will i hold up then?...any experiences, im not trying to start a war(im not asking which car is better or anything, just curious)... I just want to know how i will hold up.
thx, Shea

 

jus to let u know, Z's could actually beat STIs from a roll but off the line, forget it! Damn the AWD!! Anyways, with Greddy TT, u can easily spank him! First off all, hes stock and theirs no way ud loose unless u really blow at driving but i doubt u are. Even if u were a descent driver, ud still own him.

Race him and ull see what i mean. Show the STI the power of TT Z!

 

stock TT vs Sti? the Z would win any day

 

Oh and i will have the TT in time for a race. should be in a week or so. Ahh but from a dig?... at what speeds will i catch up to him?

 

TT z vs stock sti?

 

STi's run about 13 seconds flat bone stock. That's no joke....that takes care of a hell of a lot of turbo Z's.

 

STI
0-60 mph 4.88 s
0-100 mph 12.49 s
1/4 Mile 13.36 s @ 102 mph


Z Stock

0-60 5.4 s
0-100 13.8 s
1/4 mile 13.9 s @ 102 mph

the STI are fast but a TTZ is alot faster!

 

From a dig HELL NO. If you can race from a 2nd gear roll you should have no problem taking him

 

even from a dig, the Z can still play catch up and win! Jus get some drag radials and ull have some sticky launch!

 

i dont see whats so funny.... im talking about from a dig and from a roll and ever race possible. sure i can take him on the freeway no problem... but what happends when were at a stoplight??? i was wondering how fast i can catchup from a dig... with some decent street tires on the car.

 

You can dig its.

 

with a Fing TT wou better murk on that STI meng or you 4fit you TT system to me and are forced to return to stock by the street race counsil

 

Why not race now. That's always more fun than a I’m going to get race.

 

a guy I work with has an STI. I had 420whp (until in for build). He rode in my car and was absolutely blown away at how fast it was. Didn't even consider racing me. He said my car was the fastest car he had ever ridden in, and he's a good driver. That should give some idea what you're looking at.

 

if your a good driver you shouldnt even waste your gas, if your at least a decent driver you should walk him, bad driver you should still beat him.

 

from a stop, if he can drive at all he will pull hard on you but after first gear it will be all over.

BTW: Someone driving a Z that knows how to launch can easily beat an awd car out of the hole if the other driver isn't good at launching

 

im not saying "yeah if i were to do this...."

im saying i have thge money and i WILL have this, i just wanted to know in advance how i would do. im witing on my friend with his Type S to get his cash togeather and were getting a dea with greddy parts.

 

oh and BTW thanks for the help. i read from 1 of urs posts that i can take him out of the whole?... what if were both equaly good drivers?? ive raced the 1/4 mile at the tracks every season since i was 13. so i know how to race. (not saying im a pro) but i can outdrive e decent amount of people at the tracks

 

Don't need to get all defensive, but u sound like you are asking if your RWD can outlaunch an awd car with a TT setup AND your supreme driving skillz since 13... it will be pretty damn hard (even with slicks) to pull it off unless the STI spills coffee on his lap at the startup..

if you look at the numbers previous posted, their trap speeds is about the same STOCK, there is no contest afte a TT setup man...

 

Stock he should still get you out of the hole if he launches accordingly. The more power you have doesn't necessarily mean you will get out any faster and in some cases it will be slower off the line(Traction and wheelspin) The STI has been known to take many more powerful cars off the line. But after the first few gears you would catch up and pass him due to your superior power.

Oh, and a BOV is not a good choice for initial modding, same goes for a boost controller. ECU Managament(Reflash, Tune, etc) and exhaust mods(Downpipe, Cat-back) are the way to go on these cars.
