So my buddy and I are in his auto trip-tronic G35 on the freeway and this white STi pulls up next to us trying to pace at around 70-75mph. I noticed he had the high wing, STi emblem and big hood scoop. He had exhaust and sounded mean. So my buddy tapped it down to 3rd or 4th and we were off. The STi kind of stayed with us up till 90, then we pulled harder and harder and went up to around 135 and he was around 5 cars back maybe. I told my buddy if we were at a light or if he had upgraded stage, we would have had our asses handed to us probably. But I have noticed auto G35 coupes will beat manual G35's from a dig and roll. Both my buddys have each version.

 

um....either that sti wasn't racing or...it something was wrong with it. haha.

 

i never knew the auto's were so fast... faster than STi's and manual versions of the same car!

 

not sure, could have, Im just goin by what I saw. But ya, STi's can be pretty lethal depending on how the race starts, mods and driver. For example, I have beaten STi's on slower rolls before in my S and then I have lost to them on higher/freeway rolls.

 

it's just that G35's are slow. and well, STI's, are fast.

 

Ya for some reason the auto G35's have crazy top end pulls.

 

i think he was being sarcastic... but i know my friend with a stock sti beat my friend with his stock g35 all day long in any race. sti stick g35 auto.

 

wow, I wonder if the guy we raced actually had a modded WRX with a scoop, STi wing and STi emblem, but really wasnt an STi. I heard some people do that

 

I could see a stock G35 pulling a stock STI with just a catback exhaust from a high speed roll..

 

maybe... i know my friend did that to this regular wrx.. made it look just like an STi
