For christmas i found out the 3sgte is officially a beast!, tangled @$$ with an sti Options

[easternpiro1]

hello kiddies, hope you had a merry christmas I went to fayetteville nc for the weekend and met a couple of guys out there at the local saturday nite spot. we decide to roll out to the strip (dont assume this was on the street) and one of the guys in a gti keeps egging me to take on the sti, i do it, and to my surprise, from 30mph im DEAD EVEN with him, with his boost to 17psi... he pulled on me after a while (6th gear?) i knew my car was quick but its kinda like that big kid in elementary school that dosent realize he's so strong

being that charlotte is a haven for those stining honda hatches, i never had any legit competition
where should i go from here?

1. leave the engine/turbo alone look for more ways to put available power to the ground

2. work suspension (already thinking about doing this anyway)

3. mess with the motor some more?

any suggestions?

Well - i will be first to say - but Guy in STi cant drive or the STi in US sucks. IMHO 3SGTE from caldina or 3gen running stock boost does not have a chance over the STi.

By the way - what year STi was?

it was a brand new sti! had to be 2005 or 06. he hit the rev limiter in one of the gears and we stayed dead even until he hit 6th. i know he wasnt jerkin me because he said my car surprised the hell out of him
