    '04 STi, Cobb Stg2, how fast will it go, top end? I ask because I will never, ever, ever attempt to try it out. But who knows or knows where to find out (as in, website maybe)? I have just been curious for awhile. :)

    Where to find out, as in a web site that lists that sort of stuff maybe, NOT where to drive that fast. Oops! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

    I assume you talking cobb stage 2? I believe they take the speed limiter off so who knows...probably north of 155, but not much. The aerodynamics work against the car at that point. I think once you bury the speedo it's just a guessing game unless you use something like a gps unit to track speed.

    besides, sti...not a race car for top end speed, it's a rally bred car made to shine around corners and over various terrain.

    as scuba steve said, i think you would hit the cross roads of Coefficiency of drag and frontal pressure on the car before you could really peg out the gearset.

    I was just waiting for the silly comments to begin ;). And yes, I know that it is built to shine in corners and low-end grunt, which is why I bought it. Those traits are a little more useful and legal-ish.

    Well, I smeared butter all over it before slow roasting it while almost constantly basting with the butter that had melted off so yeah... I am pretty sure the chicken is capable of some kinda land speed record :nana:

    Luckily this is in Off topic so somehow I know this fits but anyone ever used the Ronco Rotisserie? Ya know, the classic "Set it & Forget it". My roommates brought one down from there place in NY and I gotta say that that thing is AWSOME. We should have a foot eating contest when the state fair starts up, anyone down?
