Im into the car scene. I know I won't be able to completely beat the sti. But like i mentioned...we went up to redline of 3rd gear almost going into 4th. I was just amazed to have actually kept up with his car for that much. STi are also heavy. Im sure if we were to launch I wont even be able to keep up with it in the lower gears. That's why i said a rolling start. I had raced him just for the hell of it with the supercharger and he took off on me sick. This time, he couldn't lose me in the lower gears like he did with the SC. That car is quick...trust me i know I'm the driver of that car. His car isn't even perfectly tuned yet. | Maybe you should take the advice of some other folks and stop living in the past.. I read your post, and responded, had this been in the past, your post would have been blocked and I never would have read it. I would have replied to any person on here just like I did to you. Which is stating that a rolling start to 80mph isn't that good of an indicator of the speed of the car. Your goal all along as been to be able to beat an STi in a race, and even though your car has come a long way, you still have some to go before you can hang with an STi. I love my Ti, but I'm realistic about what it is, and what it can be. It will never be an STi killer. I'd gladly take you up on the offer to go for a spin in it, and same back to you if you ever come to the east coast.. Although my car really has to be on a track for its high points to shine. A drag car it is not. | | | 08-05-2008, 01:55 AM | #213 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | C'mon guys, lets chill. Stop provoking Hugo, it's his thread, please respect it and try not to get it locked. At the very least, let's keep things on topic. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 08-05-2008, 04:13 AM | #214 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | Que viva la paz!

Im done with updates. No one cares. If i do things to my car, most likely the Socal Team would be the only ones to know. I was going to go through the trouble of making vids of the exhaust, take offs, rolling starts but nah. | | | 08-05-2008, 06:18 PM | #216 | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 | Quote: Originally Posted by HuGo Pussy. | I call it being smart, you in or what? | | | 08-05-2008, 08:08 PM | #217 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by lazoh I call it being smart, you in or what? | I dont want you to pay for me but i guess yea whatever. Lets keep on thing straight though, i have not ONCE mentioned that i was going to beat you or smoke you. So i dont want to hear anything if you win like "What happened hugo i thought you were going to smoke me" or anything like that cuz i never mentioned anything of that sort. And wait a while cuz the clutch is still new. | | | 08-05-2008, 08:26 PM | #218 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Can I play? __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 08-05-2008, 09:12 PM | #219 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 1,152 | Okay with all these testosterone building up you guys should call out all the cali swapped ti and hammer it out all in one day. Best man takes the title! If it comes down to the other driver can't drive to win a race then the 318ti got a chance to beat a Ferrari or Lamborghini. | | | 08-05-2008, 11:24 PM | #220 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | I'll like to see this. Race for the title of the best. I would do it just for the fun of it. Just as long as it's legal, so to the drag strip it is. | | | 08-05-2008, 11:37 PM | #221 | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 Can I play? | sure can, get your swap done and let's wait for Hugo's clutch to mature even though he has stated that he raced an STI | | | 08-05-2008, 11:39 PM | #222 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | I'd kill for an Imolarot Z4 Chances are this thing will go down long before mine is back up and running, can we make it winner takes all?
