1. do you forget that you are AWD? Roll racing is the weakest type of “racing” for your car, y do you keep doing it? I’ve never heard you racing from a dig, y? 2. Whats the redline? Whens full spool on the turbo? I’m pretty sure the fpgreen spools way before 5k ---

What mods on the SS? LT1/LS1 are fairly easy to figure out. Unless spray, it’s under 115 unless you notice heads/cams. If it’s faster, it’s pretty easy to notice. Don’t make it a habit of losing. 😉 ---

intake, exhaust for the SS, if it were a 1/4 mile race the sti would have def won. The SS is fast but it shouldnt be beating 366whp cars in the 1/4 mile. Get soem stickys on that car and run it from a dig andrew ---

What did the STI put down? Doesn’t have upgraded turbo and other shit? To lose to a LS1 with those mods is discouraging. ---

you wouldn’t exactly redline a gear anyways… shifting at redline is for hondas and they’re v-tech… not every car continues making power at the higher rpm… probably pulled harder shifting sooner keeping it in the power band… i would expect an awd car to lose to a torque monster like an ss… car is putting 366 and driving 4 wheels plus all the weight that comes with awd… to me awd drive cars should race from digs only… unless you have an ungodly amount of hp… or its another awd car ---

I’d leave Canada lengths on that car on pump gas from a roll (or dig). On meth/race gas, it would make baby Jesus cry. Your AWD comments are nutty at best. Also, shifting at redline while dropping off power/tq is ideal for cars that on the re-shift are out of the powerband all together. ---

> [@thornton35](#): > > your car is a little different… i’m pretty sure you make more than 366 awhp… no? Your post didn’t say that. It basically said I am only good for dig races. I couldn’t even count the # of roll victories I have. I think stating my power is only part of the equation. For the sake of arugment, I’ll say the majority of races were won by just trapping 115-118MPH (42X-45XAWHP / 4,075LBS). Also, to touch on your weight comment about AWD, the Camaro might actually weigh more. :lol ---

> [@GranMassaX](#): > > whats the estimated trap speed of the SS? I quick search found that they do 108-110 stock, yes/no? More in the 106-108MPH range. I know Boostin said HIGH 12s for the average one and that’s bullshit too. That’s like saying the C5 Z06 is a 10 second car.
