Nice race. Corvette should've been on a 150-175 shot. Those Subaru's are hideous

What shot was the vette running? Must have been an LS2.
I rarely see subarus win, maybe because most races posted on here are from a roll. Nice change with a win for the STI.

That Subaru was probably making 500-600whp. The STi (3300lb stock) also isn't much heavier than a C6 Vette. Maybe right there depending what parts they remove/change out.

That Subaru must run pretty good because my ls3 Vette runs high tens with just a few bolt ons and no nitrous. That Vette should be a mid 10 second car.

Auto in the C6 = FTL

You can hear his gearing cost him the race (literally) at the end.

BTW, you can tell it's an LS3 by the color. Jet stream Blue didn't replace Lemans Blue until 2008. There are no JSB LS2 C6's

Fast WRX, the Vette was an automatic had no chance.

im sure that auto transmission on LS3 C6 is much better platform for drag racing than a very short gear ratio STi transmission

on 4th gear the STi is 114mph @ 7200rpm on factory tire height
you have to shift into 5th gear with that power level to finish a 1/4mile race
