The only way to beat an STI is to overtake him in a turn going sideways taking up 2 lanes so he cant utilize his AWD system to out-handle you.

~1 second differential in stock quarter mile times is hardly a driver's race lol.

Yeah, STi's are fast... Real fast. Honestly it's a toss up between a Z and and STi based on driver skill and bolt-ons. It could go either way. F'k it. Just race him and post up the results. Worst case, you've got inspiration to do some work under the hood

Of course you whomped on him from a 1500 roll... he wasn't in boost at all, and lagged until ~3300.

Even then though, from a roll a Z shouldn't have ANY issues walking all over an STI/STi. Take it to the 1/4 though and prepare to be mollywhopped (as long as the Subie has a decent driver). The '07 STI's have dipped into the 12's stock.

You can ask a few people here what would happen (they have first-hand experience).

I know Rich beat one, and I know I did some beating up. It's very driver dependent froma roll. Ex: I stayed dead even with a modded '06 Z when my Evo IX was bone-stock, from a 2nd gear roll up to around 110-115 mph when we let off.

You'd be surprised what a healthy 100 shot will do.

Run him from a 45mph 2nd gear roll. He will be at the bottom of 3rd out of powerband OR require an IMMEDIATE shift into 3rd---this is your chance to take an early lead. Next Q is can you hold him off during that 2-3 shift?
