Who would win @ Castrol?

[GingeRRRBeef]

Coupe 6-6 with K&N air filter & light wheels vs 2015 STI with Rally Armor mudflaps

[GingeRRRBeef]

Looks like the STI had a shitty launch!

More reason why HP should just show up @ Castrol

[riander5]

He beat an older shittier version of my old car so he has to get my vote. If you can't beat em join em

Only problem is, he keeps saying he won/will win from a roll, Castrol doesn't do rolls, do they? That's what Meheeco is for.

[Hallowed_point]

Roll racing is so lame actually. But it's easier on the driveline. Thank you for the support. I will continue to look for tubby in his dark grey metallic 2014 STi. Please direct him to this thread if possible.

[Redlined_8000]

My vote is based on the assumption the STI driver will massively bog the launch since Calgary does not have a track therefore less experience launching. Turbo AWD cars are hard to launch.

I want the accord to win but if the Sti driver knows what hes doing the accord wont stand a chance.

[My_name_is_Rob]

The STI is my vote. Do AWD guys not do rolling clutch dumps these days, or why is the 5-60 time so slow?

[J-hop]

HP, I've seen the way you drive, you've got a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces.

Can do whatever you want if you rent the track :burnout:

You know what, fuck it. I should just race Konj. I have powertrain warranty for 2 more years. Let's do this shit. Do they do street car races at Castrol on Saturdays? No bad blood, let's burn some tires and have some fun. This is a good opportunity to learn if nothing else.

Edit. Looks like it's only on Friday nights @ 5 pm. So I'd have to book off work. :nut:

If you book a Friday off, I'll join to come make a few passes and hang out. My car would also be a good match for a STi in a straight line.

[Redlined_8000]

My car is still on winter tires but I might be able to come out that Friday too if this is happening lol. My winters are rated to 240kph and my summer wheels haven't arrived yet. AWD should still grip no problem.

A 5-60 time takes those punishing launches out of the equation and gives a more realistic time for what a spirited driver could expect with a typical launch.

[Hallowed_point]

I also did not know that konj added rally armour mud flaps. Here I was thinking I was going up against a show room stock 2015 STi...next thing it's going to be: catless dp, turbo back exhaust, Cobb tune, kart boy shifter bushings, bigger turbo , meth injection.

Time to get in touch with the mad scientist .

[RickDaTuner]

With the right driver the 60 ft times of the STi are only matched by full on dragsters, and that's two knocks against the other car; faster off the line and faster to get to speed.
Not sure about the newer STis, but mine was good for 13.9 on the 1/4 mile, and that was stock.

[Hallowed_point]

My best ever run @ race city ages ago with my SRT-4 was 15.0 @ 97 mph. Damn wheel hop. Are those times corrected or no?

That's true, the STI should 60 ft in sub 2 seconds. I have to take it easy off the line and hopefully reel him in before the lights. Vtec don't fail me now..

[RickDaTuner]

I used to see 1.6 60ft times in my ole roo, I have a time slip somewhere for a 13.9 pass, but man that would be at least 3 days work of old paper digging, lol.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Boy I miss Race City and Friday nights. I remember when I blew up the fuel pump in the 135i after running 13.3@105mph. I was so excited.

[Hallowed_point]

^ I hear you. Yes, it was a terrible run down track. But it was a lot of fun. How did that run blow your fuel pump? Boost a pump or turned up the boost?

Can't be very long. I know that my buddy with his WRX/STi hybrid went through transmissions like candy. That's going to put a lot of heat into a clutch @ that rpm and with all that power hitting 4 wheels at once.

The car was stock but it was a N54 fuel pump, it was crap to start with :P

[Hallowed_point]

Am I crazy to consider a high rpm, second gear launch?? Just to avoid any possibility of wheel spin/hop. Bad for the clutch yep. But I can't lose this race :burnout:

Especially now that the vote has swung to team STi..I've got to do it for my fellow accord enthusiasts...wait.... :dunno:

Better to break traction than something else.

I don't think a second gear launch would be that beneficial. Maybe if you had another 200hp

[Hallowed_point]

^ Thanks guys. Well, I'll slip the clutch and take it easy out of the hole. And play catch up.

If the track has been prepped, it's super sticky. And most launches tend to bog.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Oh I can also finally try launch control on my car too at Castrol!

[Hallowed_point]

I don't recall ever seeing VHT/track prep on secret street nights. Hopefully Castrol is better.

Wow I have 13 votes 25% the power of dreams pretty good guess :angel:

[ercchry]

They would prep sometimes, but usually was cause the funny cars and whatnot would take some test n tune laps before a weekend event... memory is a bit fuzzy, but they may have done this at the end of the night and already shut down the street car racing?

My clutch lasted about 80k kms before it spit a spring out!
The technique wasn't all that bad, it was more of a controlled release than a straight dump, I broke more rear sway bar links more than anything else..

I suppose when you look at top fuel dragsters 60fters they're in the .8s
I was thinking more of a drag prepped car with slicks.

[J-hop]

I seem to remember one year RC repaved the 60' but didn't do the best job smoothing the transition at the end so some of the high power guys were breaking traction at the end when their suspension unloaded.

Because most people don't know what they are doing. And back at the height of the secret street days, drag radials weren't as popular and most people were running regular tires.

Castrol street night prep is okay...but all of the cars with regular radials ruin it pretty quickly.

Depends on how fast the car is...a well setup streetcar with drag radials can 60 quicker than 1.5 sec. But usually these cars are much faster than a high 13/low 14 second car. So a 1.6 60 with your ET is pretty good.

Except that is a slip for an older , 4 cylinder Accord which is not Mr.Baruth's Accord (V6 sugarpheak approved 3 pedals.)

I was ignoring the supposed accords time. 13.6 that Benyl ran with his stock sti isn't "breaking into" the 13s that is a car that runs 13s.

From jacks err my article:

"In a freeway "40 roll" the V6 is wickedly effective at breaking the hearts of stock Evolution and STI owners."

Funny how that statement started such a peanut gallery. Seems like what I also did to an STI owner.

Don't know what breaking hearts meant in that case. Breaking their heart because they can't blow the doors off it or breaking hearts because it blows the sti away?

5-60 is on par with what those times were 15 years ago when the engine was introduced. When they introduce a new one I'm sure it will be more flexible throughout the powerband.

I wonder why they've stuck with that engine for so long. Has it changed much? I thought new STi's were 2.0 vs 2.5's of old.
