Ehhh no big deal its still worth checking out. Besides not all of us go into the STI section simply cause we don't own one.

No the video of that kid pretending to be in Star Wars was a waste of time. I just don't understand the guys license plate. It says its a 2.0L turbo but its a US STI which is a 2.5L turbo.

That was actually pretty good... I just get tired of hearing the damn music... people do that too much with videos.. I would much rather hear the cars then straining my ears to try to hear what they sound like over the music...

I didn't think STI's where that fast... Maybe it was because the camera was behind the cars but it seemed like the STI owned EVERYONE of them...hehehe

Can you make a regular WRX go that fast or faster? Also does anyone have more links to WRX videos like that or just in general...?

Pretty neat!

I want to see more STi videos. The music is annoying and I also agree I'd rather hear the cars. Good video though.

I noticed that. I assumed he previously had a WRX and swapped the plates when he bought it. Vanity plates do take a little while to make.

this was posted in another forum a few weeks back. I think they said the guy was still in his teens and had just gotten the car when he took it the track.

Man, his transmission is gonna fall out before 30,000 miles.

Bah, lows 8's are really not that impressive with an STi, that one in particular has an intake, turboback and BOV.

My friend has a TXS stage 4 with pulleys and P+P throttle body no suspension, and doesnt ever launch it hard, maybe slip it from 3 to 4,and runs that sames times with a heat soaked IC. Add an IC sprayer to that and would be much more impressive.

I took that last race as giving the mustang a head start so to speak.. considering he blew it away on the first time they raced..lol

What do you mean as far as launching though?
