Blue STI
-
There is an older man who drives a blue STI - ran consistent Mid 14's. Excellent driver. I've raced him before, won, but very good sport about it. There is a taller kid from Grand Forks who didn't pull very great times with a Black STI. But it's his first manual transmission car ever, and is very new to the car. I remember at the car show in Grand Forks way back, he asked me how to open the hood of his car.....shrug we all got to start somewhere right?

I ran consistent mid 13's and the sti's my first manual, and i had just over 2 months of experiecne.

Depends on about a million different factors....Inertia vs. Roller Dyno, Altitude, Temperature, etc, etc, etc....Dyno #'s really don't mean shit when you think about it, all dynos are really good for is tuning your car, the numbers they spit are worthless IMHO.

that older guy was running mid-low 13's last time i saw him at the track...that is if its the guy that does lots of autox?But lots of guys are running high 13's and low 14's and the car is supposed to run 13.1 stock
I was thinking that too...probably has more to do w/ bad drivers than anything. Could also have something to do w/ air temp, elevation, barometric pressure, etc... -
just because people in the magz run a 13.1 stock doesnt mean anyone can...they are all professional drivers.
-
didn't I say all this earlier?
-
not all the people that test them are pro's....do you think car and driver...or motortrend...or any car magazine just goes out and picks a random person...they have like 5 drivers that test all their cars and run in numerous times and see who gets the best...we all know it depends on what tranny...and elevation, temp..and everything...but it shouldnt be any slower than a 13.5 stock even if you are a horrible driver.
-
i guess im not a terrible driver, according to this guy.

So if car and driver...or motortrend...or any car magazine says my car runs a 15 stock and i pull a 14.9 then im just as good if not better than a pro driver? -
