Its worthless on the stock motor. Put in some cams and exhaust work and it'd just come off when I get the motor swapped. It'd be much better to just save my money, like I have been doing, and go for the all-out swap. I think with about 300 HP at the crank it'll eat Grand Am's for lunch :twisted:

with 300 at the crank and something like a -800 pound weight advantage you'd eat my car up too. :shock: if you can get it all to the ground. ;)

How much does your car weigh Jomo? I thought STis were around 3000 lbs.

Yeah I hope it'll get it all down to the pavement. I'd be swapping over to a 5-speed manual with a LSD. Just don't want too sticky tires with that setup, or the tranny won't last long.

04 STi is 3,263lbs. it got heavier every year, but i hear the 08 is supposed to be lighter than the 07. guess it's more like a -600 lb advantage.

Actually Jomey would take the launch (thanks to the AWD), but Trinton would probably catch up at about mid 3rd, and would then pull the whole way. I can see a 300hp Fiero doing the 1/4 in about mid to high 12's
