STI kills ferrari

Sour ass Ferrari owners

funny! Bunch of rich S!!! Can't wait till someone in a really modified 240 owns one of those Ferraris... oh chit Johnny, an old $1,000 car just whooped my 100k bad ass mobile


....yeah yeah, Ferrari is still Ferrari, but I'm not talking about that, (bling factor) just performance...that's the reason for their lineage right?

also, go to the last page and download the FerrariSubaru highlight video.

i just skimmed thru it, but it seemed like they were on canyon roads.
ferrari's, lambo's are not meant for carving down really twisty roads, so yes, i can see how they could lose, but like some others have said, once it's on a real big open track...

ahh, the video, it's at the very last page of the thread,
it's most definitely a kick ass car, but i would think the top end speed advantage has to go with these high end cars, i know the sti is limited at around 150 mph, but how strong can it pull past that range, i think the 360 modena goes to around 190 mph...

but in either case, real world day to day performance, advantage goes to the sti!!!

"I hate that car so much I'm gonna go to the Subaru dealer this weekend to check one out." Hahahah , they're just using every single excuse to defend their "Ferrari heritage". I would take a Ferrari over my car or the Subaru anytime, but those guys just can't handle the fact that their "Ferrari heritage" just got smoked.

For what its worth, the Ferrari driver was really bad.. I didnt think he was driving the car like a real man would.

As for the folks on the Ferrari forum, they are just two-faced. One minute they think they are king of the hill because they own (rent, or lease) a fairly expensive sports car -- the next minute, they get butt-hurt when they get beaten by another car (or even worse, a less expensive or even less powerful car).

I've got a lot of stories, from pouncing on Ferraris and sport-bikes, to getting my ass handed to me by modified Sentra SE-Rs. While its fun to tinker around and mess with people, there are just SO many variables that people never look at. What if the person isnt driving super hard? What if he doesnt have an understanding for the cars limitations yet and is less of a driver? What if his brakes and tires suck? What if the OTHER drivers tires are extremely high quality race slicks? What if one person doesnt know the road and the other person does?

No one ever thinks about any of the above, they just race.. and when one person wins he's happy and of course, most losers are sad.. especially if they are insecure. When I lose, I am happy.. because I know I had some fun and I dont care.. if I really did care, I'de stop.. go back home, and start upgrading with my GOAL being to attempt to win. But anyone with a rational head on their shoulders will realize that you're spending money on your own car for what, to be the BEST? You cannot be the best forever, your tires and brakes will eventually wear and someone else with a more maintained or upgraded car will come along and smoke you. Unless you make a specific goal and start following your maintanance EVERY time you take your car out, you'll just never be on top.

It doesnt matter how much you spend on your car or how expensive it is, it just comes down to being in touch with your car, a good driver, understanding the road, and of course.. good car maintanance.

If only I can tell you guys the expression I left on the driver when I beat a F355 convertible.. this beverly hills YUTS did a 8 second burnout in fury after getting his ass handed to him by a old crappy S13. Maybe I should've made a video and posted it online just to make these guys tear..

Serious man, you would think people would grow up.. but some of these high-dollar car enthusiasts just have no sense of reality or practical limits. There are just some things you cannot attain when you spend your day making big bank to afford this high-dollar lifestyle, and driving skills are not something you get sitting behind a desk.

Imprezas can be modded for a lot of horsepower, I don't think you can mod a ferrari that well, so it is possible for a scooby to smoke a ferrari

interesting read... i didn't think the majority of the ferrari owners were all that bad though. alot of them accepted the fact that their car just wasn't as fast for the $$$ they spent; and they gave props to the soob.

no matter if the sub beats it or not, a ferrari is a ferrari, it is a 3.6 liter v8 that screams like a banshee, a slick bright red paint job, and 2 seats to be imprinted when you step the gas, they are a racing marque, thats whet its all about, but still many probs to sub for beating it, must have been a good driver, but we all know alot of the pretintious rich aholes that have ferraris got it aas a status symbol, not to enjoy the purity of one of the worlds best sports cars

Ferrari's are for rich assholes. All those guys are talking about is heritage and mystique. This guy said it the best. As Sean Connery said in "The Rock": losers talk about [heritage]. Winners go home and F^&* the prom queen. Ferrari's are cool and everything, but why buy one when you can have a car that can do everything better for cheaper. STI's are badass.

1998cc> Ferrari's are for rich assholes.

NO. Ferraris are for people who appreciate FERRARIS.

Actually, CARS are for people who appreciate CARS. If you dont appreciate a car, shut the fuck up and dont own one. I am not saying this directly to you, I am saying this to everyone.

If I bought a Ferrari I would buy it because I wanted a Ferrari. I dont have to race it, I dont even have to fucking drive the thing. If I had money and I wanted a Ferrari to park in my living room and use it as a coffee table.. I would buy it and appreciate it as a really fucking nice coffee table.

The point of this post? Enjoy the shit you buy and own, regardless of what you do with it. Buying a Ferrari doesnt make you all of a sudden embrace racing heritage, if you sucked driving a Honda Accord, you're going to suck 10-fold driving a faster and more expensive car. SO, be humble because there's always going to be someone badassed (like myself) who will hand your ass to you.

sure both cars in the video are fast, but look at how they both got owned by the Radical SR3 (the yellow thing that flys through them on the straight), and that thing's only powered by a 1300cc suzuki motorcycle engine and costs about $50k. someone's always faster

SR motor set/clip $2500+, FMIC kit $700+, Downpipe $100+, 3" exhaust $500+, Misc install parts $100+, Shop labor for install $1000+ and you still only make 220rwhp for $5000
so what's so CHEAP about the SR swap again?
