AZSN95SNAKE Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Cobra FTW. All comments welcome! STi is a really nice car but I love my SN95 Cobra. This is a video of some races that happened in Mexico on a closed course. There seems to be a lot of STi lovers in here so I thought I'd share a video. Not hating on the STi at all, I just had some nyquil and my sentences are coming out loopy and agressive?

And when they are far away from the chase car I can't see who pulls ahead or who won so to speak.Again it might just be my shitty ass laptop, but it's the only computer I have at the moment.

Venom351R Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Its the best well rounded performance car you can get. Handles like its on rails, kicks ass in the snow, makes a ton of power with few mods. Which can also be said about the cobra except for handling like it on rails or being worth a shit in the snow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustangs cant win every race And even if it did just take it to the corners and the STI would rape it there too Take your STI to VIR and im pretty sure this lil 302 would rape it all over the track... all on how you build it...

Brian Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yeah that might be true but the STi can do it with less upgrades than that mustang. You have to purpose build a mustang to take corners like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy95GT Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Im not putting a STI down by anymeans... lol i was just saying this is a mustang site. Im sure they are awesome cars, but it will never be n my garage, A. I gots a family to feed lol and B. I would rather have a truck as my second personal car than it...

Brian Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Saying "this is a mustang forum" is pretty irrelevant though. Plus the thread is "Cobra vs STi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom351R Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Like brain said that is a purpose built Mustang. The STI is meant to do that out of the box. It takes serious upgrades to make a mustang a track car like that one. Take 5K in suspension and put it into both cars...STI still wins out.

Plus the thread is "Cobra vs STi"Your not understanding what I was saying, but its okay... I'm over it dude... But for what its worth, I was kinda being sarcastic, and u kinda took it as if I was putting down the Subaru, to be honest, I don't really care about all that, I was just making a joke...

But, I was just noting a flaw in your argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 It's not so much a flaw but more of a completely different arguement. No one said, as you know, that the STi could be had for cheaper. We were comparing the overall on both vehicles and stating that to get the fox to stay with the STi you had to drop that "5k of suspension mods" but then again you would have a more "purpose built" mustang and not the overall package that out of the box the STi has. You get a ton more options out of the STi compared to a "$2,000 foxbody with $5,000 with suspension mods". You're still my favorite though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I love you lol.I just don't agree with the argument, mostly because I'm cheap. I have to figure cost into everything. It's the business major in me ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Haha. I figured that would give ya a chuckle. I understand. Cost is always a factor we just hadn't brought it into the equation yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy95GT Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Lol cost is everything to me, except for the fact I have around 15 grand in my car... But that's over a span of several years, what does a nice sti cost anyways? 25? More or less?Sent from my phone using tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 cheapest one in the country, not even an stihttp://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?endYear=2005&zip=32828&keywordPhrases=sti&sellerTypes=b&transmissionCode=MAN&transmissionCodes=MAN&pricesOnly=true&mmt=%5BSUB%5BIMPWRX%5B%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D&modelCode1=IMPWRX&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&showcaseOwnerId=100019484&makeCode1=SUB&startYear=2000&searchRadius=0&bodyStyleCodes=HATCH%2CSEDAN&listingId=332789887&Log=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Depends. I got my FULLY BUILT 2005 STi for $22,500. When I say fully built I mean everything. 2010 Shortblock, fully forged internals, rebuilt/upgraded heads, $2,000 turbo (just the turbo not anything else), etc etc etc. And it made 420AWHP at 26lbs. I've posted the build list in other threads. There are other cars out there for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'll note on my post that it's relating to autotrader, obviously you can find good deals on occasion at Jose's chop shop, things of the like.I simply can't afford one that I would trust (at this point in time), I'd have to be buying one for 20+, and for that, I'd just get a terminator honestly. Or I'd get a few cars lol. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I was just noting a flaw in your argument.You cant count the price of the car Tew. Thats just stupid. The STI is a 30K car brand new. The Fox was how much brand new? See my point.... All I meant was stock for stock the STI will rape pretty much very mustang in the corners. Price of each car has nothing to do w/ its performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy95GT Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 My buddy who's fox that is that I posted pics of, spanks sti's in the corners... Just sayin, I have no proof at the moment, only video I have of him is just him raping a porshe on VIR.... So if u have a mustang that's dedicated to the corners, not every sti will rape a mustang... Just trying to justify what I was saying .... Brian, do u have the build thread of ur Subi on this site? I need to look at it, lol those are some clean lookin rally car lookin things...Edit.... Just finished reading... Venom did say stock for stock... He is correct...
