Yeah! He left! Now we can post nudes of his mother!
He is right for ther most part a 96 Mustang GT makes less hp than a WRX. I can see how he got beat. He is intitled to his opinion.
It doesnt take a ton of money to make hp in an STI. A friend is making 456 awhp with his and spent less than 25k on the car and mods
My friend just bought an 05 sti with a GT35R kit already on it making about the same numbers. On the way home the turbo seized. So he replaced it and it blew the motor the same night he fixed it.
http://www.ultimate-racing.com/Produ...TurboKit.shtml Only 3600
The car was said to make 494 on c16 at 29psi. 453 on pump.
My set up and I should be around after tune 500 rwhp, 431 now at 11psi stock top end.
2799.00 MMR 900 SB
4000.00 Sc/intercooler and support mods (Maf injectors tune etc)
1300.00 cams and exhaust tb/plenum being installed next month
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8099.00 = 500rw Dependable hp. You could do it for 5700-6k if you're nuts enough to do it with out a built SB.
4000.00 more for 650+ So 12,099.00 for 650+ RW dependable hp on pump gas.
About 1/3 the price. (T-trim upgrade stage 2 heads)
So if you bought a used GT for 6k and modded it for 12k you would have a Viper stomping, Zo6 whipping, bads azz stang for 18k. Not mention you don't have to run the fack out it..
