LMAO a 100k+ car and it only runs mid 12s on the 1/4 mile. I guess the saying is true. Guys that want to look fast drive sport cars, guys that want to go fast drive sport bikes

I agree with others. I've seen cars that were put together with a 3rd of that, that run 9s.

Haha... we have another real life magazine racer here, folks!

Did you notice that Edmunds did a test of the '08 STI, and got 0-60 in 4.7 seconds?

Did I also mention that my 4.3 second 0-60 is MY actual time, measured using a OBDII port performance meter... not a BS G-tech... not a BS magazine...

My car was $34K... the M3 is $60K...

With $4000 in mods, I could have an 11-second daily driver...

If I was concerned about acceleration I would have kept one of my 911 Turbo X-50s. I switched from 911Turbo Porsches because I am too old, big, and fat, to get out of and drive a 911 as easy and comfortable as one of my AMGs .

I was looking for comfort and Distronic (reactive cruise control). Mercedes Benz makes cars for the taller segment of the population and offers the Distronic option in the models that are of interest. To each their own.

I know... it's just fun replying!

Like everybody has already said... money can make ANY car fast. You don't buy an $80K BMW because it's the fastest car on the road... there's obviously much more to a car than how fast it does 0-60. There's nothing like a 5000lb car that can do a 12-second quarter mile... and still be comfortable and quiet.

Lets take our cars to the Autocross track, and then see what happens!

[quote=RJ's RZR;131222]RJ no disrespect, but your reaction is exactly what I expected (stating track times from a magazine aka bench racing). You are right to each his own and my Ford is in no way a comparison to the M5 in comfort or class, it is just way faster and a real panty dropper(at least my wife thinks so)
my pony would get high centered on an autocross track

And your reaction is just what I expected based upon when you originally told your STORY about racing an M-5. (Please note that I never stated that I had an M-5, so I did not have a dog in the fight. I just get disgusted by Forum B.S)

Quoting times from a reputable magazine, of long standing, is infinitely more objective and believable than someone just blowing wind with no proof whatsoever. Even time slips are suspect as a lot of people try to pass off modified vehicles as stock in order to attempt to fool the gullible and naive.

Call it bench racing, if you want, at least I presented some proof. Just because someone says something on a forum does not make it true. Jealously and secrete agendas cause people to do and say some pretty strange things.

I get real tired of “Forum Racers” who wish that their cars were as fast as their computer keyboards would have us believe.

If the shoe fits, wear it, if not, then no disrespect is intended.

RJ

[quote=RJ's RZR;131553][quote=jsawyer;131477]Sounds good.
I showed video of a 11.33 124.80mph so I guess I presented proof?
Here is another with some of my slow Mustang buddies (btw I am the slowest) 1:50 in is my run. Notice the Vetts, chargers and others getting the wrong end of it.

[quote=jsawyer;131560][quote=RJ's RZR;131553]The Mustang is quick, nice car!

But I was not commenting on a modified Mustang, so that clip is irrelevant and immaterial.

The subject matter was an STI and an M5. Even if the subject matter would have been a highly modified STI, it would have not sent up the red flags of doubt in my mind. But that was not what was represented.

Actually I like an STI and I think that with an STI one gets a lot of bang for the buck. But relatively speaking, a stock STI is not very quick, other than just off the line.

As stated previously, I have little patience with “Forum Racers”. So if I react with skepticism as a knee jerk response, and I am in error, I apologize.

RJ

Here's some video of me driving my old STI that I had a built engine swap in...

It's a rolling start (no clutch drop launch)... The gauge cluster (and car) was converted to Japanese-spec... so it reads in KMH as you may notice. The run was up to 185 KMH, which is about 115 MPH. You don't always need a hard launch to be fast!

[quote=RJ's RZR;131566][quote=jsawyer;131560]Thanks RJ.
I do think the STI is a fast car though. Even at the 0-60 in 5.0 it is a real fast car. I can only imagine the G force that thing launches with when you dump the clutch At 34k it is a steal IMO. Crank up the boost with a couple mods and they are crazy fast, but try and sell a car that has been modded....you get pennies on the dollar for your mods.
nice!
I love the BOV sound on a turbo!
