Speaking of STi's. . . Posted By: IROC2fast4u On: 03-16-2010 @ 22:20:49 Reply | Edit I was tailgated by one on a twisty onramp from I-405 Northbound to I-5 South going home. I slowed down around the curve just a bit because he was being an @$$hole with his buddy, dropped it into second at about 40-45, sat there for a second so he could hear it burble, and took off. Now, I know this isn't completely fair just because I got the jump. . . but he was riiiight behind me all the way thru second and into 3rd. When I got to the middle of third, he was JUST starting to fade a bit--probably got 1/2 to 1 car on him before I (and he) shut down at about 90. Could he not drive? I thought he'd get me. . . anyway, it looked stock and he wouldn't come up after that  It was a good run.
I just don't get how I pull even with an SRT-4 and then pull this guy a bit? Wierd stuff. Fun times in the LT1! :yay: --

My old stomping grounds are near the Irvine Spectrum. Do you go to Fudruckers on Tuesdays for the hot rod meets? -- 2002 Z28 http://www.SmokedYou.com Posted By: IROC2fast4u On: 04-08-2006 @ 22:44:57 Reply | Top | Edit Naah, never been to Fudruckers. If I'd known there was a hot-rod meet, I'd have gone though! Where is it? --

I was kinda disappointed in it. He tried messing with me on the way to the track but I declined, simply because, well, I was heading to the track...to race there...lol -- -1995 Polo Green Metallic Chevrolet Camaro Z28 A4 1.916 60' 8.486 @ 81.738mph 1/8th Posted By: redz2897 On: 04-16-2006 @ 01:37:52 Reply | Top | Edit I thought that smokedyou was talking about a place in Dallas. Good kills with the lt1. I am sooo ready to get mine out of the garage and start messing with the 4 bangers again. You have to be careful though last summer I was up by Renton and ran across a black STI that just flat out blew my doors off. All he would tell me is that he wasnt close to stock anymore. -- 97 Z28 built A4 K&N cold air descreened MAF and flowmaster muffler SS hood and a 98+ SS spoiler, super charger on the wish list http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/466266 Posted By: IROC2fast4u On: 04-16-2006 @ 13:16:34 Reply | Top | Edit Honestly, I don't care if I get beaten. It just feels good to run the car. . . after being stuck driving an Escort ZX2 for a year? This thing is SICK!
Time for some more mods so I can go LS1 hunting (yeah right, like that'll happen on my budget!!). --

It would be good to see that out on the road again. I agree with you on getting beat or not, I know there are alot of cars out there that are alot faster than I am. It is still alot of fun to run em though -- 97 Z28 built(blown) A4 ( K&N cold air descreened MAF and flowmaster muffler SS hood and a 98+ SS spoiler, 3.73 gears http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/466266 Posted By: LT4CamZ On: 04-16-2006 @ 14:39:02 Reply | Top | Edit a LT1 can pull on alot of things including a stock light STI. The HP difference is still there. Now from a dead stop thats a different story..but always feels good to open 8 cylinders top end. -- True Pillar of Fbody.Com Green 96 Z28 LT4 HotCam, LT4 Springs, Transgo shifter, Flowmaster Exhaust, Custom CAI
