Where'd you get the idea that the STi was the fastest in the Quick 16? It wasn't even close...

I read that Al trapped in the 150mph range a couple of times, if this true that's great I wonder what the E.T. was.
I also read that very few Subarus even cracked the 11s. If this is true, then the event between the EVOs and Subarus is getting worse and worse. I'll wait to see how the event at E-town turns out, but if it is more of the same, my personal opinion, we should move onto bigger and better fishes, one competitive Subaru in 5 or 6 events is just not enough competition.

this is what i said, " the STi was the fastest in the quick 16."
the fastest evo in the whole quick 16 race was Al with a 10.618, the Big valley STi was faster with a 10.564 run. nobody ran faster than the BV STi.

But it's ok evokiller ( or perhaps a better name would be evoloser), I can understand why your kind doesn't show up, I too would be afraid of a superior performance vehicle.

You and your kind have a foolish interpretation of doing well in an event, winning first is great, but getting swept in everything else really isn't. And according to info coming now, you guys did even worse, wow how pathetic.
i have my facts straight. i was in fact straightening yours. i have the whole Quick 16 results in my hand in Turbo mag issue 180 (Jan 06). did you attend the event? yea exactly.
no evo ran quicker than BV in the quick 16. none. zero. zip. nada. it didn't have to be heads up. NAME ME ONE EVO THAT RAN FASTER THAN BV'S 10.5 IN THE QUICK 16. go ahead.
who AMS? nope. their fastest in the quick 16 was 11.17sec. who Buschur? nope. their fastest was 10.9secs. who TTrix? nope. their fastest in the quick 16 was 11.5secs.
another myth...."but the EVOs swept everything" HAHAHA....yeah, everything except for the quick 16.
get your head out of your ***. with your stupid point of view, running the fastest 100yd dash in qualifying guarantees you the gold medal in the olympics.

Uh, I _was_ there. I don't rely on a magazine to tell me results. You didn't know the Evos were running 9s that day? Just because they broke during their Quick 16 runs doesn't mean they weren't as fast. You'd have to be a moron to go by the magazine as your only "facts" when people like me were there AND RACING. I was running 12.4s with a few bolt-ons and was faster than some of the STI's in the Quick 16. However, I was not even close to the top 8 Evos...
You do realize that the Gadiel STi got to go against the slow non-shop Evos, right? And that the big Evos knocked each other out? You were there and saw it, right????

What this meant was that after round 1, only 1 STi was left!!! That meant that 3 of the 4 races had Evo vs Evo. The STi had a cakewalk to the finals then got lucky that Al broke. Not saying Gadiel wouldn't have won if Al DIDN'T break, but there was never an actual race for Gadiel to win. Luck of the draw...
also, BV's crew was helping Al fix his car. it was struggling all day.

What the hell does that matter? That doesn't mean anything. What someone does in one run has nothing to do with the next. YOu're completely clueless if that's how you gauge an event. The TT and AMS cars were absolutely obliterating every time put down by Gadiel before the Quick 16. Things happen, fast cars break...big deal. It doesn't mean the STi was faster. You're really reaching...

i said, and i quote this for the second time for the people who have reading disorders...."the STi was the fastest in the quick 16."
if you want a competition were the car than ran the fastest ET of the day wins, then maybe you should change the competition's format.
