nice....so when is the Yaris getting the same treatment? ;o)
People have been running sub 10's in yaris for years already. Sheesh. But they called them toyota supras. :wink:

[CASTREX]

Wicked fast...:eek:

So what's the HP on that? I'm guessing +800whp

800 is alot on a subie, Alot of guys have trouble clearing the 550 mark. Im going to guess closer to 600.

Nice to see more subarus inching in on the mitsubishis. Still have a ways to go though. EVOs have been doing sub 7 second passes for a while now.

STi > Evo

blehh

[Tamago]

STi > Evo

blehh

an evo 9 can go sub 9 seconds on a STOCK TURBO

Evo>STI

[ChinoCharles]

Fast @ Holy Sh*t MPH

Don't forget skittles. God awful fast little things those are, not that I'd ever want one.

Eh, I still prefer my 05 WRX over just about any DSM/EVO I have ever driven.

so a WRX is better to drive than a car with 70 more horsepower? that's blind dedication right there lol

[90tsi]

to each his own..

It was a sweet run for sure. I thought it was funny when he was fiddling with the stick at the end after the run. It made me glad to know I'm not the only one who does that when they're anxious sitting in their car :laugh:

haha no no, mine was a stage 4 2.0 with a EVO III 16g turbo, Frontmount, 21psi tuned and was waiting for a 6 speed until I blew trans no.3 and decided it wasnt worth building anymore.... Now I drive this. Most of my friends have EVOs and STi, I guess I was just loyal to my car. Plus I was very content with 11.8s-12.2s 105+. Someday I'll try again :wub:

Its really a shame if you are into going fast too, the 3.54 is sooo much better for drag then the 6mt's 3.90. Plus they weigh a good 75 pounds less. I loooved that car. This poor yaris has alot to live up to.

[ChinoCharles]

The STI's don't have that problem. You have to pay to play, I guess.

[Keith Tinari]

actually STi guys now are running into a new problem, tuners that dont understand AVCS, the bottom ends on the EJ257s giving out, alot of STi owners actually pull their 6 speeds, sell them, and then buy built PPG boxes through Andrewtech. Thats what I wanted to do, but the wait was 5 months and I didnt have that. Plus now with the 09' WRX stock running as good as an STi and with a stronger LGT trans people are just dumping for a WRX and buying the brakes since the WRX comes better equipped.

i love how you neglected to mention ringlands lol

[ChinoCharles]

Fast Evos are why it is so cool I live within spitting distance of Shep Transmissions. I've seen Evos make runs that would make you spooge.

[Keith Tinari]

Its not really a new problem, its been an issue in high hp 2.0s for years not just in the 2.5s. If you want to take it literally I partially meant it as the bottomend issue.

I have a good friend with an 05 STI with a Perrin GT35r kit and Meth, last dyno it made 519 at 25psi still internally gated with a brand new block and built bottomend and hes on his way back to the shop for a new motor again.

Only for those select few who take AWD cars to the dragstrip :rolleyes:

And although EVOs can own subies, my solo2 region has zero fast EVO's. Heck, i beat most of those guys in the yaris. I'd love to own an EVO. One day i guess.
