Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 2054 Registered: Jul-06 | "i'd sh!t myself if I had either..." as would i my friend. i was just curious cuase 2 kids at my school, one with evo, one with sti, are gonna be lineing up sometime and im lookin to cash in on the sti and just wanna make sure that the sti is a good bet |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2677 Registered: Jan-06 | i would choose neither im not a fan of ricers but STI |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 8654 Registered: Dec-04 | Berny is correct it all depends on the driver. I could put my wife in a Porsche 911 twin turbo and me in a old school chevy cutlas wagon(vacation stylee) and I could guarentee my victory. lol |
|
Silver Member Username: Denali_on_22sSSX, Tenneki US of A Post Number: 809 Registered: Feb-06 | Yeah. a kid at my school has an EVO that SICK. He got a carbon hood xenons 17s or 18s under it, custom paint and its the bran new body style. The same kid has an a black and yellow H1 hummer with the rag top, and is rich as hell. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12255 Registered: Dec-03 | That's why I ask if it is a drag race or street type with slalom. When I was doing Autocross, a friend of mine was always ragging me on how I always get better times than he does because of my car. We switched cars and I still did better than he did. |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12257 Registered: Dec-03 | Yup, the car does not care about winning or losing. |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86FTW Post Number: 9778 Registered: Aug-05 | Evo FTW those are nice cars. i can't believe how much boost the stock turbos push! |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 2055 Registered: Jul-06 | it would be on the street. i wish i had money to get one of them. and i dont care how big of "ricers" they are, they are nasty cars, imo |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12261 Registered: Dec-03 | Put your money on the better driver. Also one with more experience and a calmer demeanor. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 876 Registered: Mar-06 | I've driven both an STi and an Evo and the STi is the faster car.  I've driven the Blue Sti and the Yellow Evo (and the white teg and the red dels sol) and they are all hella fast but the STi's are faster than the evo. 14lbs of boost FTW. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12266 Registered: Dec-03 | How is it faster? Was there any measurement involved? On the track with a timer on the street? Need some data man! |

|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12269 Registered: Dec-03 | Those are good numbers and matter much on the drag strip. However, those numbers are too close when it comes to the street where the driver take control of the machine. The fastest time I had on my car was 11.6 @ 123 mph. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveNj US Post Number: 2609 Registered: Jun-06 | The local track where I live is an awesome place to kill a couple of hours. Street night is downright insane. They get these 4 shooters doin' 8's and 9's on their back wheels! Loud as f@ke! The bikes are fun to watch as well. How else are you gonna pull 9's for under $8 grand out of the box? |

|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12281 Registered: Dec-03 | No, I am not much into getting my rides all tricked out with custom wheels and stuff. I keep the exteriors pretty stock and I spend more on the engine upgrades like bigger turbos and improving the engine. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 2111 Registered: Jul-06 | i dont blame you man, altho i must say i like custom wheels and stuff like that but i do also like the stock look on a lot of rides. and engine mods are always fun, but i dont know about that stuff so i cant say i do any of it. altho i dont do any of the custom stuff either come to think of it, just window tint, thats a must on all of my families cars. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8852 Registered: Oct-05 | hey guys quick question. what is power shifting? is it when you don't let go of the gas and just push the clutch in and shift? lol i drive a stick and i don't even know exactly what it is. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12286 Registered: Dec-03 | Go here for shifting techniques...easy to learn hard to master. Practice, practice, practice. http://www.waycoolinc.com/z3/essentials/fixit/heeltoe/shifting.htm |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8859 Registered: Oct-05 | thanks for the link berny but those are the basics. i want to know how to shift like a race car driver. i am losing to automatic v6 honda accords. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12287 Registered: Dec-03 | The first thing you need to learn is to master the basics of shifting. Power shifting is slamming the shifter in to the power band of your engine's RPM. A lot of inexperienced drivers tend to think of this as mashing the throttle at the highest RPM possible. Not true, this just causes and imbalance on your drive train and causes your clutch to slip and glaze and wear out prematurely. You need to find out the power band of your car's engine. The RPM at which your engine is generating the peak amount of horses and shift at those points. You will need a dyno for this or just go to the car's specs and look at the power curve. This is the proper use of the shift light. You do nto set it to go on at the redline, you set it for the max engine power. Master the basics and everything else will fall in place. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8860 Registered: Oct-05 | okay thanks. damn berny. you just shut me up good. lol. i've been driving stick for almost 2 years so i do have a good sense of my car. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12288 Registered: Dec-03 | With all that gear on your car it's probably heavier too. Do you have oversize wheels? |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8864 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah it is rather heavy in my car. my box, subs, extra battery, and my amps put about extra 350lbs in my car. not to mention i am not light either. lol. my rims are 19 inches with 235-19-35 tires. it is actually smaller than my stock. my stock rims are 17 inches with 50 series tires. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12289 Registered: Dec-03 | There was an old school saying among draggers when trying to lighten their car. "You need to loose one hundred pounds of dead weight in your car to gain a bumper's length of winning...how do you do that? Take a pound off 100 places in your car." Those 19" rims really rob you of power, man. So don't race, just look good, loud and proud...nothin' wrong with that.  |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8889 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah i know berny. i don't race. i am all about the sound system. lol. its all about bling bling and (((((boom))))) (((((boom))))) |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12316 Registered: Dec-03 | How did he lose his license? |
|
Silver Member Username: Livin_loud18 of Love Fi Audio Post Number: 748 Registered: Jan-06 | from the collection of tickets he has. last one he got was from doin 140 on a highway (65), which screwed him. hes pretty much blown all his inheritance as well, got into some bad stuff... |

Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 888 Registered: Mar-06 | srt4 is a bad @ss neon. Driven that too. Something I thought was funny... The silver STi in the pic up there /\ has a license plate that reads "B88BB88B" and you CAN'T tell whats a B and whats an 8 even when youre tailing him. He's gotten out of MANY tickets like that. |
|
Silver Member Username: Denali_on_22sSSX, Tenneki US of A Post Number: 823 Registered: Feb-06 | I SMOKED an SRT4 Neon with my 05 mustang GT. He pulled up acting like he was something (lame highschooler) and I just dusted his azs. Kinsa pathetic really. Yes, I know the GT is a V8 and the neon is a 4 banger but, hey, he shouldn't have revved his engine at me. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 889 Registered: Mar-06 | yeah I was comparing srt4 to a reg neon or any other 4 banger |
|
Gold Member Username: Mr_keboAlbertville, Al USA Post Number: 1032 Registered: Nov-04 | be careful around those srt-4s seriously tho ive seen them take many stock stangs stock for stock. seen it more times then i would like to count. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi Audio BTL Post Number: 8986 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah me too. the guy driving the srt4 must have been an inexprienced driver. like you said a lame highschooler. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12335 Registered: Dec-03 | I know I'm getting old. Young 'uns pull up next to me revving on their souped up Civics and Acuras, and I let them hear the roar of a turbo flat six, then I let them spin their tires taking off and I just sit there, smiling. Youth is wasted on the young |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 2151 Registered: Jul-06 | lets chill on ripping the high schoolers a new a_s hole. im a senoir right now. but yea kids at my school think they are real tight with their little ricer civics...if i had a fast car id burn them and shove it up their a_s, but lets just say my tc isnt the fastest car on the road. oh and for the record, i dont try and race people or rev my engine at people, only if im kidding with my friends in which case doesnt count. |

Silver Member Username: Livin_loud18 of Love Fi Audio Post Number: 766 Registered: Jan-06 | ^^^ supposedly you can make tc's pretty fast... |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 12337 Registered: Dec-03 | I ain't rippin' on ALL the high schoolers, just a few that don't have enough sense in their heads. Most of you guys in here are cool and I don't rip on any of you, do I? I have a kid in High School, he's not into cars (something's wrong with him I think, but that's okay,cheaper on the insurance) all he wants is mine. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 2160 Registered: Jul-06 | ^^^ supposedly you can make tc's pretty fast... yea if u have money...im broke like a joke. sike i got like $700 and another $1000 in the bank but i cant touch the thousand and the 700 is going towards something sweet...maybe a turbo or something along those lines once i get more...like triple what i have now. and im just givin u hard time berny. u never rip on me man or anyone for that matter. and u need to check if your kid has a pulse...everyone male teen likes cars or something about them. |

Gold Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 1636 Registered: Sep-05 | Other night I was out for a drive and this big suv was up in my bumper so I sped up a bit and he sped up a bit and so for. I didn't want to race or anything like that, just trying to get a bit of space. I noticed I was doing 30 over the limit and I looked back and the suv was gone. I looked over to my side and the friggin suv was a cop. He was in a new explorer. He turned on his lights and pulled me over. He asked for my license, insurance and registration. I never had NONE of that on me. Turns out that I was calling around for a better price on insurance earlier and needed all the info for that. I left the house to run to the store and forgot the papers. I let me off with a warning tho because he said he was in a rush. That could have been 3 tickets there alone: 1. Speeding 2. No papers 3. Me being the stupid idiot, I asked him if we wanted a coffee. I bet there is a rule against bribing a cop ah well, at least I never got a ticket |
