Wow, nice jump by the STI. I'm surprised the C32 came back to make it that close.

Is the C32 anyone we know?

Off the line it was a definitle kill

But the benz was just .02 off. The Sti was almost caught in the end.

The launch (and traction) is the key - once again.

Not bad at all in my opinion.

The C32 made up some serious ground by after being taken off the line. That is what AWD will do for you. If he had drag slicks and hooked up I bet the C32 would of taken that one. That race would be interesting to see from a roll.

Yes. It was me

If my reaction time didn't suck, maybe I could've take him.
From what I know from talking to some guys at the track STI has exhaust and ecu tune. They also said they saw him many times over there.

For cancelation AMG-Jerry kicked his @ss earlier !!!!!

Where is my video against this guy?

I beat him bad.... He heard my buddy talking $h!t about his car and he wanted me to race him. Needless to say, we caught up later that day.

The tool even turned the boost up in the race against me! He ran a 13.4 against Jack and a 13 flat against me. I wonder how he lost .4??

FWIW looks like your stock. So a pulley and tune and you would have taken him.

Maybe Santa has something up his sleeve??

to give you guys an idea:

I have a C32 AMG with the evosport pulley, sprintbooster, and K&Ns

My roommate has an STI with full turboback (dp and catback) and acces port...which is conisdered stage II

We run the same trap speeds. obviously he kills me from a dig though. im on street tires, no lsd.

The bad start killed you, alright. At the end you were doing 104.6 vs. his 103.1. Did I read that correctly?

I want to see the vid with Jerry handing him his head.

I seen him drag all day and imo I say that jacek had a bad start and if it were with drag radials on that race only I bet Jacek would have won....to bad I or my friend didn't get a run with him........not like I really thought that STI would have that much of a chance anyways Jacek pulled like a 13.23 that day so I definitely think he would of beat him with the proper launch and it was Jacek 1st time at the track.
