You do stand a chance. I smoked one before... by luck of course. The guy misshifted and I ran a perfect run and we were already going about 30 MPH when we started so I didn't have to worry about suck ass first gear. You will get your ass kicked if the WRX Sti's driver knows how to drive and your car is stock. Get him to run you from 30 MPH and you may stand a chance. If you start from 0 then you will certainly die.

And another thing, take out your spare tire, don't eat anything all day, take out the tool kit and only have one bar of gas in your tank... and don't bring your CD case either... and empty out everything in your middle compartment, and keep your top up and windows up for better aerodynamics, and keep the air conditioner off. Hey... it helps.

Everything but 0 - 60, which is 4.9 seconds, btw.

S2000 has trouble beating the Evo8, with exceptions. The STi has more hp, more torque with a wider power band than the Evo. Your chances are not very good.

I own both and you will get murdered if your stock. From the line or from a roll. Better through on FI if you want to pull on one of those.
