06 STi vs 07 STi

Are the 2007 STi's really that much faster because of the gear ratio?

 

in a straight line yes. You cant hit trap speed in 4th gear on a pre 07 STi.

 

^^The words have been stolen from my mouth^^

 

I don't really keep up with 1/4 mile stuff.. not my thing. What are 07's trapping compared to similar 06's?

From what I've read the revised heads seem to be helping a lot in the power making department.

 

....and the funny part is that these "revised" heads are the same ones on the '06-07 WRX.

It's fun pissing off some of the holier than thou 04-06 STi owners on nasioc when you tell them your engine is better than theirs.

 

whatever, our wing is good for 20hp. :laugh:

Speaking of, anyone want 20hp? :hsugh:

 

Throw in stickers that add 10 hp each and I'm sold :laugh:

 

will it bolt to the top of my wagon? :biggrin:

 

07 trap speed is ~115 mph in 4th gear. 06 is ~108 in 5th gear

 

Really? I did not know

Awesomeness, HA 04-06 sti owner, HA!
:laugh: :laugh:

 

lol another smug 06 owner. Nasioc is crawling with them now.

 

Personally, i like having the shorter gears for driving on twisty roads, i if i guess well going into a corner i never find myself low on the power band or running out of legs on the acceleration out.

my ecu isn't all fubared up and laggy and choppy

we all know the new ugly ones are gonna out power all of us anyways out of the box.

 

Yea but you'll need 17 bolts... ;o)

 

straight lines are boring

 

had we had the short 5th/6th gear and 8k revvs...we'd hit the 1320 in 4th no problem.

On the JDM STi 6spd, 4th goes to about 117mph at redline.

 

hmmm, can our engines handle 8k redline with a reflash? heck even 7.5k to get us to 110 would be nice.

 

I wouldnt reccomend doing that at all. Your motor is a short stroke big bore, it's not a Honda man :laugh:

 

compared to what? lol

bottom line is, the stock motor/heads arent designed to rev like that, so dont do it

 

Because everyone wants a hondaru, high rev = more power :laugh:

swap in jdm sti engine if you want 8k rev

VTAK!!!

 

boo. I have my shift light set at 6700 which just gives me enough time react to shift before i hit redline, except in 1st and 2nd...

off topic: where do you guys set yours?

 

Who needs shift light, a good driver just know's when to shift! ZING

 

Easy for mister gt35r to say :biggrin:

Mine is set to 6700

 

lol, ok mr straight line power who doesn't need to look at the road when he is driving i just listen for the beep personally.

 

You must not go on the fall fun runs when I do my ultra zomg mega drifto's :biggrin:

 

There's a lot of stroking going on in this thread.....

I like all types of strokes.

 

lol, i'd love to see it!! i'll be there this year dont' worry.
