Sorry i know this run doesn't involve an s2000, but subaru forums don't have a section for something like this, and I'm curious about the outcome

i have a 2000 Subaru gc coupe with 2005 STi engine and transmission. the engine is "stage 2 protuned" - catted turbo back exhaust, cold air intake, boost control solenoid, fuel pump and dyno tune...made about 285whp/320wtq on a dyno that spits out 220whp for stock STis

the GC coupe curb weight is about 2800 lbs...with the swap there's about maybe 70 lbs extra weight

i had a 100 lbs passenger and a trunk full of groceries...but i doubt any of that made much difference

ran across a 997 Carrera S not sure what year...sounded bone stock with 2 older gentlemen. started from about 35mph with me in 2nd gear, up to about 95mph he put about 3/4 car btwn me and him

i wasn't shifting particularly fast, but i wasn't pulling on him in gear. he has way longer gears so i had to shift more which lost me some ground

i'm sure post 100mph the difference would be more pronounced in his favor...

sound about right? my car even though quite a bit lighter than the GD or current generation STi on a roll i don't think the difference is much...

how much does a stock 997 CS usually trap in the 1/4?

 

Do a search.

Anyway, the outcome sounds right.

 

they trap about 110mph, if i shifted faster i'd probably trap around there too, i guess the outcome was expected

i actually found a supposedly stock CS on dragtimes that trapped 112mph...

 

stock STi's only dyno at 220 whp? I thought it was more for some reason.

 

that dyno reads a bit lower than typical dynojets

now that i thought more about the run he gained the most ground during my 3rd to 4th shift....gotta shift faster next time when im running a worthy opponent

 

awd


but from the dig...

 

On dynojets stock STIs put down anywhere from 225-240whp stock. On a dyno dynamics or mustang it is closer to 200whp. Dyno Dynamics- the ego buster. My friends 300z dynoed at 285whp on a dyno dynamic dyno, and a week later it pulled 345 on a dynojet.

 

hey christian!

lets go ride

 

Sounds right. Scooby's are awesome low end cars, while 911's are awesome top end cars. You got him where your weight and torque kept you very close. Go from a 60+ roll and it would've been ugly..

 

PM me

yeah my old evo IX had trouble accelerating at the same rate over 110mph vs. under 110mph

however for this run even when i was well into 4th gear (approaching 95mph) he still wasn't pulling me in gear...it was my slow 3rd to 4th shift that gave him some ground

but i have no doubt once i pass 100mph (5th gear) he'll walk me hard lol
