!!!The Defense rests your Honor.rodman99999 said:Better? In what way is it "better"? If you like ricers- it might be better for you. Stupid-ru has a car(with all the personality of a sponge in my eyes) that goes 12s off the showroom floor(WRX). That would be better for some. They(NO DOUBT) handle and stop better. If it gets better gas mileage- it's better that way. Larry Conley built his T/R('Tweaked') to go 7.75/178.98 mph in the quarter, before aerodynamics started working against him, so: we know we can get these RWD bricks to hook and run into the sevens. That would be fast enough for me(IF I had the jack, and the need be that quick). I said all that to say: "better" is purely up to an individual's way of thinking. For me personally: the T/R is "better." I can tune it to go as fast/quick as I'll ever want(without having to sell the house/Harley/firstborn male child), I love the body style(always have), it's a great sleeper, comfortable to sit in, there aren't 20,000 others running the streets, it's ALL American(even if some of the fasteners are metric)- and I don't have any desire to be associated with the ricers(the majority are knobs in this neighborhood and show it constantly). BUT: that's just me
NO, its not....TurboBuickSix said:
Get hold of Lawrence Conley at Conley's Performance Plus(Houston, Tx). He was doing 7s over six years ago. I'm certain he could give you the details.mec108 said:
Plus, there are plenty of Supra's hitting 1000hp, and running low numbers, but the price for their parts is still very high, nice car, but you also see too many of the higher hp cars having bad e.t.'s. I would still take the Buick though anyday. rice is weak. me and the local supra club dont get along very well, so I think it makes me hate the supras alot!!I don't get it, every one is talking about the WRX going 12's off the floor but they can never keep up with me on the street and the last time I was at the track, I swear they weren't getting anywhere near the 12's in 1/4. Maybe they eeked out a 12 sec run with a stock STI? Personally, I'm more impressed with the DSM cars and I do kina like the SRT-4's. Iv'e seen those run 11's. Am I rambling?rodman99999 said:
Well, WRX's go about 14-15 second e.t.s stock. A few years back when they did the comparison between the STI and 03 Cobra in Hot Rod Magazine, they had similar times, I think around 13.3-13.5 area. Now I'm sure someone got an STI to go 12's, of course the definition of stock always varies, but I'm sure it is not impossible to get one around 12.9 nearly stock. But a stock WRX off the showroom floor will not run 12's. I raced one a few years ago at Norwalk, he put down a 12.9 but the car had about 9K into it (mostly suspension). And yes, you can not find a Supra, the new style anyways under 20K, it's almost as bad as an LS1 Trans Am, and stock their motors can handle a decent amount of power.darkred87T said:
