And the lowest Stage 2 STI i've seen is like 12.5-12.6 which would be Mid-12's :-P

Faster on the highway though... stupid gear ratios...not to mention bigger engine and turbo.. cheater.



The lowest out-of-the-box Stage 2 STi I've seen ran a 12.5 uncorrected. Considering that I picked up another 20 hp and 45 ft-lbs when it was pro-tuned, the tuner was estimating that if I can drive it well, it should gain .1-.2 seconds in the quarter. 'Course, it's all just supposition. The proof will be on a timeslip, if I can drive the bloody thing well enough. Remember those taller gears we were talking about...?

Hey, I can do smokey launches with the best of 'em. Only, MY smoke comes from the clutch.
