I have a question for versionJDM, you have the high HP NA S2K, do you think if you had 4.77 gears you could break 13 sec in the quarter with some decent tires, not drags but decent tires.
i run 13.5's now with the stock 4.10 gears, with 4.77's i'd think i could clear 13.0, maybe 13.1.

why does this guy keep insisting on saying a stock STi is faster than an Evo in the 1/4? How many 12-second stock Evo slips does he need before reality hits?

Would links to TV shows dragging them both bone stock be enough proof?

It doesn't matter. He'd rather believe that everyone else is lying or faking timeslips than to accept that magazine times are far from accurate.

This discussion can now end, why? Because Road & Track has finally run an EVO RS to a 13 flat, matching the STI's time.

'06 EVO RS: 13.0 @ 104.9 - Road & Track, Dec '06
'07 STI: 13.0 @ 103.5 - Motor Trend, '06

However, an MR is still a 13.3 car, the very same as an '04/'05/'06 STi.

1. I believe individuals are less accurate than professionals.

2. It doesn't matter either way really, neither car stays stock for long, and the better driver usually wins the race.

Love those trap speeds. that more than anything shows the power difference between the two. it also give me a little better understanding on why i can put a solid 1-2 cars on my buddies 04 STi.

Because individuals don't rely on the uber expensive and accurate timers at a track? Or are all the people that have claimed to broken into the 12's just lying or faking it? Again, it's down to you not wanting to believe anyone else.

Neither car stays stock, and we all know what happens then too.

I think the trap speeds on those times also shows that one is faster than the other, but wasn't driven to its full potential. FYI: The people that broke 12's all trapped almost 3mph faster than the mag times.
