mustang can never beat a sti on a run or anywhere in stock form....this shit lame...

Dude, a stock 04 Cobra can easily take an STi from anything but a dig. They're not much heavier and they have quite a bit more power (to say the least).

That was the anniversary of the mustang so they came out with the terminator, which was a rock solid motor to say the least.

[firmitthekrog]

Hmmm, I would disagree. If you're talking about an 04 terminator cobra against a stock STi from anything but a dig (with equal drivers) I'd give the edge to the Termi every time. Hell, with a good driver the Terminator still might hang with the stock STi in the 1/4.

150hp, extra... that aint that much... i have a 400hp 2006 wrx... i think it is very slow... i need to get a bigger turbo, i only have a 20gTD06 and its too small.

I have recently come to LOVE the pignose man. In stock form I honestly prefer the 04-05, but as soon as you mod the pignose it looks fantastic.

Any plans for a gt35r? Cosworth longblock maybe? PPG gears? Beast mode?

@firmitthekrog I would say that a term would almost always take an sti in the 1/4. I drive a sti (mine is a good ways from stock) and I do know it has very little oomph later in the power band, but I do think that the sti might be able to contend with a term in the 1/8

ya, your bro got jipped dude, and isn't the 360hp first package? i think esx makes a third package that runs something like 500whp

How much is an esx? I've never heard of one.. i'll have to look it up i geuss but any info you can give would be great

[TheAllcars]

that esx is running an fp green setup.. it aint 300whp.. its closer to 400 with the right tune... and thats how it comes "stock" from a subaru dealer... esx is the "saleen" or "cobra" of subarus... so stock esx vs stock 04 cobra...the esx will always win. unless you modified the cobra which is an awesome car also.

[firmitthekrog]

Yeah, we figured that out later on. It was kind of an impulse buy on my buddies behalf.. He went in to have some mods done to his 04 sti and the esx was just sitting in the showroom floor, so he traded out. Found out later when he dyno'd at just over 300whp that the dude was lying his ass off.

[firmitthekrog]

So your cute "150hp" claim just became right about 60hp, that's taking into consideration the 240ish whp average STI dyno numbers.

Now, I feel like I should let you know that there are 2 different versions of the Esx STi, a road-going version that is street legal in all 50 states, and a much faster track-only version. The track only version had a claimed hp of 450, although I have yet to see any proof of that claim being true.

Hey look at that, I replied without making ignorant claims. Yay.
