The SRT-4 driver gave it his best shot - he had sticky summer rubber and the conditions were pretty ideal yesterday. He just didn't have the goods.

I read a post on EvoM of a guy who went 13.1 in a stock Evo VIII. Stock Evo IX's with good driver's are going 12.9's. There have also been 2-3 STI owners who've gone 12.9 in stock STIs. No clue about the STI Spec C model...
Okay, I believe you. : )

If I have a SRT-4, I will race against ya. But too bad, I don't see that I would be owning one of them in the future...

Like you said, it is quite easy to make more hp in your car. Hmmm, I can see how close you're to the STIs if you do anything... Looking forward to seeing your AutoX baby's review! Do you think you can do better next time than the latest 1/4 times you got? (of course bone stock)

Please start a thread with pics when you pick her up!

Yeah, like Chike said, you must do that. haha.

Did you get a blue one as your former SVX?

EVOs and STIs are the best value for the hp you can get in a car, I have seen the videos, these cars can be competitive with the super cars on the track such as porsche, ferrari and lambo.

Possibly...but I won't be trying anytime soon. I've got too much stuff to take care of at home over the next few months.

Not sure at this point. Have a lot of stuff to take care of at home. Plus, my rooming buddy AmazonParrot isn't going as he has to go to the high school prom with his girlfriend.

Have Andrew bring his 18 year old girlfriend to Reading!
It's a three day prom she will ALLWAYS remember!!!!!


I can see it now,
Mr. Smith, I want to take Belinda, out of state, for three days, to hang out with car crazies, beer swilling, cork popping, parking lot dragging, fanciful tale telling, elephant riding ,car crazies, and I'll bring her home safe.

I thought for sure you'd be there. I'm bringing the SVX stuff I'm selling and I thought I'd finally get to meet you. I was also hoping to try and coerce that foreign car dealer to let me "borrow" something nice that weekend.

Hey, it was my plan to be there in '06 as I wasn't able to make it in '05. On the Reading sign-up thread I said I'll be there - God willing and the creek don't rise. I probably should have said God/wife willing...

Sorry folks. There's no sense in discussing it. My wife has the final say on this one as she's been watching the kids for the days I've been gone to autoX and drag race my WRX. If I can make it, I will - if not then my family committments had to come first.
