If you want to run 11's, you're going to need a new turbo at least. Probably need a new fuel pump and injectors too.

And if you do lose, call it a Neon. The owner's will usually get really pissed off.

He can win on a drag strip,(who cares) 
but do you think his neon can hang in the twisties? If you bought a subie as a drag car, you made a mistake, unless you have unlimited amounts of cash.

lets face it man, srt-4s can really move, but only in a straight line. ALso you would be amazed how much a good set of slicks helps at the track. iF you really want a more even match try to see if he'll race on street tires. Just remember, your car is nearly stock and im sure he had to do a lot of work on that SRt to get it into the 11's. just see what hes made of ,take a chance

oh, and take pleasure in knowing that your car is a hell of a lot nicer than his. You thionk guys that drive porsches and ferraris care if a supra or a boosted eclipse can beat them in the 1/4 mile? Hell no, they're too busy getting looks from really hot chicks and what not.

That and drop the ego! You can't beat every car out there!
My brother has an SRT-4 Mopar Stage 2, and beat me straight up from a rolling start. I get a good jump from a dig, but only to catch up, up top (120+ mph).

i hear you guys, street tire option sounds good to me, what is a good street turbo upgrade that can get me into the 11's, i was thinking a pe1818, or the 1820?
i really want an all around semi-supercar, stock the sti is pretty much there, but 11's in the 1/4 and ability to hang with a 911 in solo 2 or road coarse is my ultimate goal.

honestly if you want a direct bolton turbo that will make really good power(350whp - 400+whp) an fp green, sbr gt 11 or 12, sr50 or 55, avo450 or 500, 20g or deadbolt superzilla turbo is the way to go.. on race gas these turbos can do easy high 11's no problem.. my old set on my pe1820 turbo @20 psi pump gas (337whp/363wtq) = my 2 best time - 12.2@112 and 12.4@110.. it s a good turbo too.. good luck
