just to let u know what ur comparing. a 40k subby STI with a turbo 4, to a 100k Z06 with a 7.0L V8. FYI the z06 motor is 3 times bigger than the subbies. now watch a stock sti run down the track with a good launch they run low 13's. toss 5k in to a stage 2 with a front mount and boy would that vette me seeing tail lights all the down the track.

Actualy im comparing a drag run of 16+ seconds to an expected time in the 13's.
Fail.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
