I'd like to have an STI, little more economical than a Porsche.

that thing is wicked fast

I despise posche...

But OMFG!!!!!!!

man he ran a chit ass light on that pass too lol

cold tires and everything!!!! That's a fast car!

r u sure its all wheel drive?

i could be wrong here but before he pulls up to the line he backs it up as if he is locking the rear diff, i have been reading a little lately about the locking diff like that and never heard of it being used on a 4 wheel drive car (not saying that it couldnt be, just havent run across one)

It seemed RWD to me as well. He didn't nail it off of the line. Definitely rolled into the boost well. That car definitely has more in it.

It's really not that impressive to me. It's an expensive fast car to begin with. And he's racing a pickup truck. I don't think it's awd Im pretty sure its rear drive, rear engine. which would explain the good hookup. It just didnt occur to me in an earlir post that porsche doesnt really make an AWD car

The fact that it is racing a pick-up should have nothing to do with it. It is obviously set up on a test and tune day where cars are set up randomly. You can end up with an alcohol car running a stock saturn. Porsche's are not drag cars by any means. What they did with that car in the short amount of time is pretty impressive. As stated before, he didn't warm up the tires, and he basically rolled off of the line so he didn't have to worry about traction. That car has a LOT more in it.

Well I was just saying it was an expensive fast car to begin with. It hooks up because the weight of the engine is ON the wheels. If all you did for a 2 weeks straight with a crew of like 3-4 guys is build a race car it doesnt seem like such a fantastic feat. The engine was already out of the car when they shipped it. So that being said it reduces the swap time by over half. It hooks because the engine is in the rear. Thats my opinion

aren't the 996's all wheel drive? which is what that was..... I could be wrong, I'm just going off memory....

Weight transfer helps, but I have seen STOCK Porsche's spin hell out of the hole. His 60' time had to be terrible. As I said, he rolled out..... Granted it is an expensive and fast car to begin with, but it is tuned to do something completely different. (It is a German car..... think high speed for long amounts of time and damn stable.) There is always nicer and faster out there, but that car moves.

And as I said, I thought it was RWD, but I have been wrong before. In either sense, it moves and for an AWD car it's even more impressive in my mind. Drive train loss can be a bitch in those things.

RWD or AWD for that model.
