Mezza,

Grow up dude, I am asking a simple question. You know the answer, then state it. Otherwise... put 2 and 2 together...

Thank you. Appreciate the answer.

Enlighten me. What section would you suggest???

Folks - I don't understand all the ball busting here. I came here with a valid question. After all you all are the experts.

I happen to have come across a pristine S2K and bought it - this is not my forte so I figured I'd ask you all (experts) in the matter. Instead, I get a bunch of really asinine replies. I have thanked those who answered my question and then I get this "wrong section" crap.

Give me a break. I keep reading how great the S2K is and how we are all members of a "brotherhood". I figured this would be the place to ask questions and then I get this kind of crap.

Don't bother to race a WRX. Anyone who owns one that has half a brain has installed a cobb accessport and exhaust, enough to leave an s2k far behind

Bolt on wrx is not really that fast either. They take a bit to start making them quick. Anyways a stock wrx is definitely fairly slow. At least the older models. Newer ones are getting a little quicker.

I recently ran my ap2 with an intake and test pipe against my friend's Lexus IS350 from a 40 roll. He ended up about a car length and a half ahead of me by 100. I am okay with that given his huge power bump and super fast shifting auto.

Two days ago I got another roll race against a Mazdaspeed3 with an exhaust and I don't know what else. I had him by almost a car length from 20~80. Kinda surprising.

Neither is my car, but i've had a fi s2000 and now have a gtr and all i can say is Traction plays a big part. Race starts at :40. Poor s2000 had only one run in it.
