My buddy and I were riding around in his K4 E55 yesterday, just minding our own business.

Along side of us comes this young kid driving in a brand new WRX STI, still had the paper temp plate.

He comes up along side of us, and gets our attention.

Then he starts weaving thru traffic, and we follow him for a little ways, and then the traffic cleared up, and he was in the left lane, and we were to his right.

We were going about 70.

Then the kid hits it, and we weren't quite sure that he hit it.. But, anyway, my buddy just kept along side of him up to about 110 or so, then we realize that he was on it as much as he had, so my buddy down shifted and hammered it.

We pulled him bad.

At 150 we had him by about 4 lengths.

Added a little excitement to an otherwise mundane day...

Mr. AMG 20

The k4 e55 should have about 640hp if it is tuned right. You shouldve killed him by 10 car lengths. Those 4 bangers are garbage after 100mph.

Karlson

Thought the same thing Mr.AMG. k4 kit itself cost about the same as couple years old sti..

Timeless

Sounds like he let the STI get a couple car lengths before deciding on taking him out. Four car lengths from 110-150 is quite impressive if you just think about how quickly he got to 150.

oldgixxer

nice...some of those subbies are very very quick

I dunno...Around here we have some 4 bangers Evo's that will leave my V12 standing...lol!! Definitely have to put a lot of money to make it fast though.

I met this guy 2 days ago with a CLS55 and he told me had the K4 on it. He said he had 730hp. He had 20' HRE, TV's, custom system. He said he put $50,000 into it.

red60R

4 lengths....you might want to check the E55 and make sure somethings not wrong with your car---- as the others pointed out you should have murdered him. If he had temp tags I doubt he was modded. I owned an sti and my E55 (stock) would destroy it in any configuration so I'd think a K4 (especially on the highway) would crush it. His drivetrain loss due to the awd should also play against him. And the new one's are slower than the 04 I owned. (shaking my head in disbelief)

ProjectC55

You're killin me!

Nowhere near as much as you'd have to spend to make an AMG fast! 3k or less is about all you will need to make them run 11's.

ECU flash
Exhaust
Bigger FMIC

That's it. Total= 3k or less.

V12Godspeed

Let me guess...was it white? I think I know who you may be talking about....

V12Godspeed

I was talking about the ones that run 9's or even low 10's. If it is the ones that run 11's than I don't see them leaving me standing or even winning agaisnt me especially after the quarter mile, that's where the monster V12 comes in...

You can not put so much stress on a stock bottom end. At least that is what I have been told.

ProjectC55

It would cost a fortune just to make a benz run that fast or run 11's.
There are quite a bit of EVO's that run low 11's and have trapped 125+ mph in the 1/4 mile. If you can trap high 120's almost 130mph in the 1/4 then I'll to you.These motors 4g63's ,Jeffrey's 4 cyl Porsche included have been known to handle ,with a built bottom end over 30 to 40psi of boost putting out 600+whp. Stock mitsu 4g63 bottom end is limited upto 550whp.


PS Rogers STi ran circles around Jidex M6 in the mile in Mexico I'm told and also gave Omars yellow modded Porsche GT2 a good scare there early
Sunday morning as well. Vid:

V12Godspeed

Well start to my friend, I haven't done jack to my car and it ran 11.5 at 120.XX with the exception of a cooling mod...the driver was jayson of course but with a bit more practice I see myself running these types of numbers. Weather was 92 Derees that day.

What do you think will happen when I add airbox, ECU and TCU and some low 50's to 60's weather..., I definitely see 125+ trap speeds maybe even a bit higher with some Ice

Mr. AMG 20

How the hell does a k4 make 730hp. I never saw that before.

ProjectC55

Ah you did do something then! Conradictory. Oh, you'll spend alot more $$$

With all of your ideal conditions posted that you need,weather,mods,driver /LOL,couple thousand more $$$'s not to mention the price of that beauty you bought , I hope you do run over 125+mph bro.

Pt. is with the Sh@tbox Mitsu EVO's and DSM's it's been done already and old news running 11's and 10's at over 125+mph for 1000's of dollars less. B4 you knew what a CL65 was it's been done yrs ago already for far cheaper.

Don't sleep!

ProjectC55

Another sleeper!

V12Godspeed

Don't need no ideal conditions to run.., if they come even better. When we ran at MIR, if anything I would call those the worst conditions yet the car put the smack down.

I definitely agree with you in terms of the money it takes to mod an AMG as opposed to a 4Cyl banger, lol! But to play you have to pay.

Sleep!...me.., never lol! if anything you should have seen the mouths of the 4 cyl bangers when she was on a dyno an everyone thought she was going to lay down 300 RWHP, to their surprise she put down 500+....So she is a perfect sleeper and all stock,

Let me know when you get the talon ready...we could do some roll ons to show you what I mean...

ProjectC55

Save that cliche for Benz owners. Certainly won't apply nowhere as much here.

I'd love to see the mouth's of the E55 and 65 owners when they see a 4 cyl put down 550+whp.

We will absolutely do roll on's and a run from a dig!!

Better lose some weight too and I aint talkin about your barega!

V12Godspeed

Hahaha, bring it on!!

Don't worry I got a pair of brand new radials to smoke the all wheel drive from the Hole!!, loL!! Rolling or standing won't save you...., I love to work you up carl..., I am out.

Don't sleep Jodeth on the 2.0L 4 cyl!!!!!!!!!

dsb

I've run several times against a friends modded STI. Correct me if I'm wrong but those things just aren't geared for 100+ speeds.

V12Godspeed

3 questions:

1. Is it a daily driver?
2. can you drive it down the track with the A/c on and still pick up the chic at the corner?
3. can you say you have somewhat of an "exotic"?

You are comparing apples to oranges mang...if you will be getting a car that will get into the 9's wait a second while I build me an 8 Sec supra. If I was to put those fan size turbos that talon is running into this V12 along with some tuning and half the stuff it has on it, that talon wont see my tailights even if its stripped down.

Let me know when your talon is ready so you could prove me wrong.

ProjectC55

0.What does having a depriciating exotic,have to do with running my ****box 4 cyl car in the 1/4 mile?

1. You mean you need your car to bag chic's? My car has nothing to do with my "members" to put it cleanly.

2.Yes I can show you some 10 sec and high 9 sec daily driver's if you want.

3.Especially where the person has spent 1000.00's less.

4. We are talking about your car and my mitsu ****box running the 1/4 mile regardless of whether it is a lux car or not.

5. I, like Jeffrey and Ralston am building it MYSELF and not paying anyne else 1000's to touch it and do it.

6.Bring and build the 8 second Supra because you will not know how to drive it. There are DSM's and EVO's even faster than that.

7. While you have a nice car you r still new to the game.

8.The day you could fit some big turbo's on your 65 ,please let me know.Not my fault if you can't. Just like I can't fit a 12 cyl TT engine in my car.

9. As a matter of fact we can try to set something up with you racing Gavins 4 cyl Audi 2.0L turbo till I finish my car.

10. Enuff of the talk,we'll just do it ,my 4cyl vs your 12 cyl TT.

Now show me a 9 or 10 sec Benz. And we are not talking about Albert's or Stephan's and you know why.

ProjectC55

You have not run every modded STi obviously. Not good to generalize these cars.
