One of my good friends owns an 07 STi and I can't go one day without having everyone asks me when I'm going to race him. Pisses me off.
Another one...This one guy who owns a pos civic talked to a friend of mine and claimed my car was "a lancer with a body kit" and then today my friend told me that the guy with the civic was saying that "turbo's can't go over 12psi or else they'll blow up" and that there was no way my evo was pushing 23psi.
I swear if I ever see this guy I'm going beat the stupid out of him

The "no more than 12psi" myth is for n/a engines that's converted into turbo. That 12psi is from the waste gate, and no ecu management. Evos have ecu management that's why we can go more than that.

U got a boost gauge? Let him ride shotgun then show him ur boost gauge. Or just race him at the track.

Just tell them when your tired of the rush of having a fast car and need to slow life down you will go out and buy a slow sti. Or have them go to the Evo/STI shootout and have them realize there is really no Sabaru's there and the ones that are aren't very fast. Or tell him when 15's are the fastest you wanna go then you will buy one.

It's painful, but explain to them what a turbo actually does (black voodoo magic?.. kidding) as far as compressing air and allowing more air/fuel to be ignited.
My car's engine would most likely "blow" at 15psi if properly tuned because that is about when power reaches 250+ft/lbs of torque, and the rods just can't take it...squish that 12psi myth, it's power related (assuming tun-ability)

This was said to me yesterday, on this forum, in response to IXs not having single stage paint:
haha u are one grumpy old man.go play with your cats you weirdo...and yes they do!they use ss paint to reduce the added weight from clear coat.clear coat adds an average of 20lbs of weight to a car.mitsubishi uses ss paint on evos to give an edge on STI's...so mister know it all finally doesnt know something.

When I had my '07 Si, I was getting ricers wanting to race me on the freeway, usually with crowded conditions. If they think that I am some kind of chump that will endanger the public to see who is faster, then they are demented people. They know that they will get walked by an Evo at a proper track, so they shoot their mouths off and make dumb statements. Take their comments with a grain of salt because they are only showing their collective lack of intelligence.

Coming from the Honda scene, this sounds pretty typical for many of the Honda owners. They are just mad because they know that even bone stock, an Evo is more than a match for most of their cars. Even an EG hatch with a K24 can be a handful to try and launch. This is why you see them only dangerously racing on public freeways with a 3 honk. Personally, I find Civic owner behavior most irritating.
When I had my '07 Si, I was getting ricers wanting to race me on the freeway, usually with crowded conditions. If they think that I am some kind of chump that will endanger the public to see who is faster, then they are demented people.
