Raced an STI, LOST!!!! Should've known better. Then again I'm completely stock with the exception of a CAI. Anyways, STI will probably be my next car if not, then probably the Legacy. Maybe with an H22A motor, I would be able to keep up if not beat him. But if the STI is COBB Tuned with Turbo back exhaust, I'm sorry to say but I dont think I'd be able to keep up.

I've hung with an STi over 60mph. They're quick as hell off the line, but that AWD system is a drag at high speeds. Still amazing cars, but the H22 WILL make things a little more even. You'd need some better mods on the H22 to really have a chance though. The CB7 with an H22 is a great start, but certainly not anything extraordinary. ANY stock motor in a car that is fairly close to the original home of that motor weight wise (meaning that the CB7 isn't THAT much lighter than the Prelude) makes that car not much better than the Prelude.
My H22 is lightly modified. Intake, exhaust, crank pulley... I still don't have much of a chance against many bone stock "performace" cars (V8 Domestics, turbo imports, etc...)

P.S.
srt-4's are not that great, they sound like shit unmodified . they are cheap cars and cheap to modify that's all. i, me-myself, beat an srt-4 from the light...after 2nd, i walked him with no effort...shifted early even (7200 rpm), he pressumed to be stock. we got on the freeway and he wanted no part of me on the freeway, as a matter of fact raceboy, it was in san bernardino, i was getting onto the 30 to go to barstow, right passed the chevron on waterman (i was coming from my aunt's house on del rosa).VQ35 POWAH!

whoa i live right off del rosa...anyways i'm not saying you didn't smoke on an srt-4 but you got your opinion and i have mine i DON'T think SRT's are cheap msrp 26,000 for a car that can get to 160 no prob my brother boosts 18 lbs of boost. i'm not talking shit but if you have a cb that can smoke a turbo SRT i would love to see it i'm not saying it can't be done i'm just saying your shit must be krazy fast!.....hit me up next time your at your aunt'sCiRcuS kiNgZ

The SRT-4 is fast period. They have been proven to hold boost and take some beatings. Where the hell are you finding a SRT-4 at 26K you are getting ripped. MSRP is 21,295. However, a FWD car that makes more then 250 is going to have problems with drivability. Tq steer would be insane. So no matter how much power a FWD car will get crushed off the line. But STIs are killer fast and SRT-4s are just killer. and CB7s are Killer Sleepers

plain and simple:
The STi, was never entirely designed to run fast in a STRAIGHT line, it is generally inspired from and for rally, THUS not the requirement for max power output in a straight line or top end, cuz you rarely will have a stretch you'll like to go 100+mph, so when racing an STi, its given that its not much of a top end monster, much like the EVO's, they're meant for rally, and thats what they do best....Happiness is CR-X shaped
