Vette vs Subaru STi

here ya go, enjoy


http://www.crawfordperformance.com/gallery/video/sti_vs_z06.wmv





It's okay, the Z06 only has 4 more cylinders than the STi

It's ok that SUBARU is loaded and the vette is stock wow impressive.

Also there is a thing called status, 90 out of 100 people would rather be driving a vette that looses to a subaru. It's all about status, Im 21 and could easily be driving a piece like a subaru sti. But I decide to go for real power and get a c5 vette that is supercharge putting out over 500 hp for about the same price as an 300 hp sti. I havent even had a Subaru that could stay with me past 2nd gear.

It's ok though u drive a subaru!

so, a few questions...i will assume from your attitude that youre a troll and you probably wont reply, but its worth a shot..

first off, a heavily modified AWD car should be able to handle a stock Z06, regardless of the number of cylinders.

Second, the vette seemed to be having no problems with you, as he had a hell of a lead for a while, and eventually you caught up and passed him, and he seemed to put up very little fight. I would have to think that as easily as he pulled away from you once he cleared the few other cars, that he simply let off it, and you went around him. I also noticed that the firebird waived you around, and the mustang and 350Z put up no real fight, they might as well have been pace cars.

I can only be lead to believe that this video was staged by crawford performance as a desperate attempt to draw attention from subbie fanboys...especially if they support trolls like yourself.

Yeah, patrick is right. It is sort of obvious if you watch it several times -- the vette can pretty much have its way with everything until, near the end, it just slows -- note how much less lurry and fast the landscape is going by in those final scenes -- when the STi finally passes him, not much of a blur anymore, noticeably slower -- he probably got bored with the whole thing at that point and just said, "what is left to prove?"

Well to be honest guys this Corvette was not stock, it includes a full exhaust system, been rechipped and has some nice stickies on it. The vette was fast to say the least and got a little tail happy in the corners. Of course that is where the STi shined but on the straight away it was a good fight. Just wait till next time when we actually put in an engine besides the stock short block. :)

By the way the vette ran a 1:28.7 I believe, which is damn fast for that track. The track record the previous year for that class (NASA TTR) was a 1:29.xxx but a Radical destroyed it this year with a 1:26.0XX and currently holds the record. The STi pulled in a blistering time of 1:26.7XX, and now holds the track record for that class (NASA TTU).

If you have any questions go ahead and ask, I will try my best to answer them. If anyone wants a ride, you are more than welcome to stop by the shop. ;)

First of all, i'm not a TROLL. I like seeing Admins flame people though just because someone else posts something that gets them all fired up. It's not MY car that is in that video. I'm not turning enough HP to take on that track. I'm sorry that my 265 HP out of my little STOCK 2.0L isn't enough per cylinder for you! lol Wait, lets look at that. That would mean that if mine was a v8, it would have to be turning 530 HP to be the same hp per cylinder? And that isn't even counting on the displacement because with the same displacement per cylinder, it would be a really small v8 at only 4.0L!

As for status... if I wanted a corvette, I would get something OLDER like an old stingray or something. But then again, this is coming from a 21 year old who still has a chip on his shoulder who thinks that he has something to prove and that he needs to have something that makes him look like he has a lot of money to get the girl!

As for getting bored... people don't just "get bored" in the middle of a race! Go race in one and then get back to me about how you 'got bored' because you thought that you could win, but a 'ricer' was beating you. I guess that your boredom would keep you from getting first!

Also, I have a couple questions for you guys. Can you drive your car if there is snow? Can you drive your car anywhere there is speed bumps? How about dirt roads, do vettes like those? Nope.

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE corvettes, but I prefer my daily driver to be able to be driven all year long. (yes I live in the North so I do need to deal with several feet of snow each year, and dirt roads upon occation) I also did just post that video to get you die hard "if you aren't driving a corvette, you aren't S#&t" owners all stirred up.

On another note, ask William if you want someone to show you that the video is NOT staged. Thanks

Hey chump, I've been with my girly 6 years so that "get the girl argument" is shot down sorry. I come from money "not trying to look like it, look at the house in the background of some of my pics not your average house" unlike you I like the better things in life IE CORVETTE not some SUBARU wana b fast car. I take my girly out to Mortons for a nice dinner and you take your girly out to Texas Road House, it's ok though, some people would rather go to the cheaper place to eat just like some people would rather drive cheaper cars. I wasn't the one on your forums trying to talk smack, it seems like you have a chip on your shoulder.

Can I drive my car if there is snow? Well, with blizzaks yes, but unlike u I have 2 cars, one for winter (cool concept huh) one for summer ding ding ding. As for dirt road driving wtf I can drive on dirt roads, granted my car is lowered it has to be a nice dirt road. Are you talking about rally racing on dirt roads because I think your Subaru would win but you know people rally race everyday. Also man your talking about speed bumps rofl wow wow wow wow wow. My car again is lowered, most of the other vettes on here are not lowered. I can go over speed bumps hahahahaah soooooo im sure they can 2.

Also your engine theory sucks bad, if ur car was a v8 putting out that per cylinder your engine would weigh double what it does now (u doubled the hp so I doubled the weight) so A LOT. But thats ur theory not mine. How long do you think that little displacement engine would last under that much hp 2 - 3 thousand miles before major things would go wrong. I can drive my car at 460 some odd hp at the wheels and not have to worry about my engine failing.

One more thing, do you want me to post some videos of subarus getting blown off the road by vettes? That is basically what u did found some random video pretty easy to do.


BY THE WAY IF YOU ARENT DRIVING A CORVETTE YOU ARENT SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you spend a lot of time as a little boy running headlong into brick walls? Wouldn't it be far more fun to post that video on a Subaru site, so you and your buddies can sit around snarfin' down a waffle cones, talking yourselves into a superiority complex? I have no clue what you expected posting something like that on a 'Vette site.

Maybe when you mature a bit, this will make sense to you. Until then, I expect further crap is inbound.

By the way, they've got blue pills for that these days.

This whole thread is lame, guys. Spend enough money and you can make an STi faster than a Bugatti. I don't necessarily believe anything in the post or any claims made: I've seen no end of BS on the internet but mostly this just not matter. You do have to askwhy someone would post something like that here. I imagine Suburu4u is just a troublemaker who isn't getting enough attention from his Suburu sites, so he has to come here to get noticed.

Just ignore him.

Bring that "Boo-Hoo Roo" to the Sierra Nevada montains and I'll show you some dirt roads!!! I'll hook a chain to ya and drag ya the lenghth of the whole mountain range.
F-250, Healthy 460, 4 sp, 4X4. I'll let you catch me, just try and get away. KIDS THESE DAYS!!!

These cars are built to do different things. They are not in the same class so y must people compare them. My parents have owned 4 Subaru's great cars. My uncle has also owned 2 corvettes great cars. But once again apples to oranges. I am also 21 and i have 2 Luxury cars and a SUV for snow and off-road next comes the sports car (C5 coupe). And for all of u that must pick on Subaru's its the people that buy them that make the claims of beating corvettes. Not the company. I'll tell u right now if Subaru made a body on frame SUV like my Rodeo i would not be driving a Rodeo.

Great post, bro! I'd buy a Subaru in a heartbeat as a "practical" car, they make great cars. I think the big issue here is the dude comin' onto a 'Vette forum talking smack like that. You don't see any of us headin' over to the McLaren forums talkin' 'bout how we can all smoke the F1 up an' down the highways.....

DAMN IMPORTS

I'm not the one compensating for anything!!!

I ONLY posted this in here to see how hard you guys would flame it. Some people have shown that they can appreciate it for what it is, and others have shown that they are morons. That's alright. I know that some people are thinking "wow, they did a nice job on that car" and some are thinking "I don't give a ****, that video must have been staged because nothing can beat my car." Either way, thanks for watching!

SOUNDS TO ME, YOUR A LITTLE JEALOUS YOU DONT HAVE A VETTE ,U MUST NOT GET ANY ATTENTION IN THAT IMPORT.BUY A VETTE AND THE WORLD IS YOURS

I get pleanty of attention. I even have a back seat. I'm not going for attention though. I have nothing to prove. I go for pure enjoyment.

Well, I didn't watch it. I don't need to. You went on about the speed bumps, 4x4s, and racin'.
Sorry, Boo Hoo Roo don't make a car that will do it all, nobody does! You want to do road racin', I'll bring my Vette. You want to do the dirt roads, I'll bring my F-250. You want to do speed bumps, I'll bring my skate board. You wanna drag race, I'll bring a blown, 800 hp, 454, '70 Chevelle. Get the point KID! Hopefully you'll learn. Granted, a nice car is a nice car, but when you start spoutin' off about the Boo Hoos standin'out, I'm sorry, they can be really out classed by USA HP., and performance. The right tool for the right job!!! You don't use a scewdriver to drive a nail, you get a BIG F$%&*#G. HAMMER!!!

Ok, so what i dont get Subaru4u, is that you have admitted that you ONLY posted this video on here so that you could see how we all "Flamed" about it... But, when we do say EXACTLY what you were expecting us to say, you act like its astonishing and that we shouldve been more open to the video and that everything is peachy-keen in Subaru world and that if i went on there right now and posted a video about some hooked-up Vettes (not damn near bone stock ones) beating the hell outta some STI's then nobody would get even the slightest bit upset about it! THIS IS A CORVETTE FORUM! Of course we arent going to be very welcoming to someone that just sticks his head in to stir things up and then pops in and out as he pleases just to try and stir the pot some more. I personally couldnt care less if a mo-ped beat the worlds fastest Corvette.... But i dont think anyone from mo-pedforums.com is gonna come on here and post some stupid s**t about it just to ruffle our feathers. Now, im not gonna come on here and tell you how American muscle is better than australian rice (or wherever subaru comes from - see, i dont even know where subaru is made, shows how much i really care) or how a 4-banger is a lot lighter and more streetable and reliable than a big @$$ V8 thats camming its @$$ off at a stop light... The reason for that is, i like ENGINES. I dont like cars i dont like trucks i dont like boats or motorcycles or tractors or dune buggies or ANYTHING... i like the way an engine works and produces so much power out of such a tiny space... But, even if i did have the worlds biggest hard on JUST for Corvettes, i still would be a bit more mature than coming onto you and your buddies subaru site and posting some pretty cool videos of STI's getting beat by go-karts.. Just grow up a bit. If you want to come here and talk engines with someone, do just that. If you want to come here and ask people why they like corvettes or if they like subarus more, then fine, do that. Just act your age and dont try to stir s**t up for no reason. Thats all from me unless you want to talk engines.

He even has a back seat rofl what a tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I wanted to cart people around in my car I would have kept my Mustang. Oh wait I have my 240sx to cart people around in.

I LOVE IT.YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.I MEAN YOU VETTE GUYS NOT YOU WHINEY IMPORT GUYSI DONT NO WHAT FLAG YOU FLY BUT ON THIS SITE WE FLY OLD GLORY.

Sweet Lord... moped racin'!! Now, there's a mental image!!!

Ain't this thread the exact same thing as takin' a pointy stick and pokin' a sleepin' mama bear in her cave come springtime? I just don't get it... why bother....

Oh well, at least he's got that back seat for transportin' the squirrels and the rolls of duct tape 'round in.
