I think the STI comments were mentioned around post #16.
On that note:
I have a good friend with a tuned 400hp STI.
Stock, we would launch about the same. STI with AWD vs SLK55 with more torque made them fairly equal off the line then the SLK55 would start pulling. On a roll, SLK hands down.
400HP STI is a different story. He gets me off the line everytime. I usually stay about a car length behind until around 95-100mph. Then I reel him and and start pulling hard. Our 1/4 times are probably fairly close, I would bet I'm just a little quicker (time). However, I'm probably quite a bit faster trap speed. STI's are not geared for top speed. |
