The SRT-10 doesnt even have a chance. A 2006 STi runs to 60 in 4.7s and the 1/4 in 13.2. That's stock. A 2009 WRX has almost identical numbers. The SRT-10 does 0-60 in the mid-5s and it lags even more in the 1/4. With just a few simple mods a '06 STi or an '09 WRX can give a stock '05 - '09 vette a serious run for their money.

Don't run him for pinks or cash, cuz you will loose big time. Even if it's not an STI.

I dunno about a mega, that's a lot of extra weight to carry to be honest..i also have mad low miles for an '02 so its not like im goin at this with 130,000 miles or anything (if i were to hypothetically race a mega cab)

Thanks

You'd have to be able to trap very low 100's (101-102) to have a chance from a ricer roll...you'd probably trap low/mid 80's right now. From a dig even with 100ish traps you'd lose because of their awd...unless he bogs which happens a lot with those. If you want to beat your friend go buy a 98-02 ls1 f-body (camaro/trans am)...you can pick one up for cheap now-a-days.

i helped you out a little...
