Camaros suck. WRXs are so much faster, even through the corners. When are you going to learn that a Camaro corning at 0.87g on the lateral skidpad is worse than the WRX's 0.82g?
With an STi/STI his story would be halfway believable that he was making 315 whp on a stock turbo, but he owns a standard WRX. Nothing wrong with that, but his claim is filled with skepticism. The #1 way to tell someone's lying is when they refuse to put up their proof, or post something like, "I don't have to prove myself!" It's real simple. It's the simple excuse for not having proof of their claim.
8 cars ahead of a Camaro and reeled in, all within 1/4 mile? If that's the case, that Camaro sure did get a poor launch, because his WRX wouldn't have stood a snowball's chance in Hell. Within 1320 feet and somebody getting reeled in to within 1/2 car; that car is as good as SMOKED.
One other thing, he said he ran a 12.0 Vs. 12.40. 4 tenths in the 1/4 equates to more than half car. The more I read into his story, the more it wreaks of BS.

But instead of getting so wound up about it, why don't you just say, "I call bull$#@% because, X, Y, and Z"?
And I wanna know how many gs a Camaro pulls on a set of RE92s
Also, the skid pad doesn't tell the whole story, you know as well as anyone that the Camaro can't do tight switchbacks as easily as the WRX/STIs.

I think that speaks volumes about that particular tire model

How well does a Camaro run on RE92s? I couldn't tell you, so I'm not even going to begin to make claims that I can't back up with factual information. Buy me a set and I'll let ya know.

I have seen you post many times and have held my tongue but there isn't any denying you tend to **** people off continuously on this website, your an annoying keyboard warrior that doesn't know when to shut the hell up. Chill out, who the f*ck cares if he is some kid in Texas is spouting about his 12.00 run at the track with really no mods whatsoever. Like the other guy said, give it rest, call his bluff and that is the end of it.
I am NOT wound up. I don't get wound up over internet forums. This isn't church (not that I attend church anyway....). It's the internet.

Yea ok i have minor mods, well sry to prove you wrong once again but i dyno at 315whp and lets see that is about what 80to70 more whp than a stock one. O yea and i ran a 13.2 stock so i mean you can say it is a bluff but i mean it is not unrealistic. Go to www.aps.com and see a 325whp wrx run a 11.66 so i mean 10 whp off isnt that bad. Go to SPG Racing in texas and ask them what a 400whp subaru should run.....they will tell you with a good driver it should run in the 10s

I've heard of 12.2s on the stock turbo, but 12 flat is a big leap. Especially considering your only big mods ar an FMIC, MBC, Exhaust, and a tune. The intake, pullies, and headers probably don't account for much power.
The VF39 is a relatively small turbo and it's hard to imagine it throwing down a 12sec 1/4 mile with hardly any supporting mods and 93oct. I'm gonna have to find the VF39 compresor chart for this one.

Nobody ever said that your 110 mph trap was poor. It's very respectable, but I have witnessed bone stock LS1 F-bodies trap 106 and 107 mph. With very minor mods, they will easily eclipse your 110 mph trap. Those cars aren't running 12.0, but in your defense, they also don't have an AWD drivetrain.
With some suspension work, a RWD car will launch just as good as an AWD car, as there are PLENTY of RWD cars that pull of 60 ft times like you wouldn't believe, hence the reason that RWD is the best platform for drag racing.
With a good launch, that Camaro would've simply destroyed you, even given his "minor" mods. You said it yourself, he reeled you in from "8 cars."
This is where you accuse me of starting an argument and being a fanboy.....
