"d00d, my car runs 12 flat on a stock turbo" is ore ignoreable than "d00d, youre a POS blah blah blah blah"

I agree it is stupid, but if he wants to lie about it, thats fine, as long as he doesnt start talking crap that his car is better than everyone else's

heh, I ran 13.0 on a stock vf39, and I've got the vid to prove it...what's yer point?

Not trying to back anyone up here, but 12s on a vf39 is very possible.

A completely stock car like sinister was trying to say...that's a different story, but I've seen low 12s and even one person with 11s on a vf39...

I'd love to see a flat 12.000 on a stock vf39...not just a story, but a slip.

it is very possible for a stock vf39 to run 12s or 11s on a stock turbo, go look at aps.com I am pretty sure that there is a Wrx with a vf39 running 11.66

Car Info: I is not STiYLIN n e moar
I have beat a lot of vettes. Not going to read this whole thread but I will chuck in my .02. Every vette I have raced has been a QM race at the dragstrip not on the street. Last kill was the c5 Z06. I have just a catted dp +tune on an '05 STi. The reason I win, launch. We win at the start, they just try to play catchup. Long story short, I got traction he didn't. Beat him 2/3 times(1st to 2nd grindage ). He sure are came up on me like a bat outta hell at the end of the track though. The VF39 only breaths so much

btw when I got timed I did a 12.9 on this slow uphill dragstrip here in Humby.
