I'm the Dork who ran 14.9 on PassTime. :)
I know that a certain 3L turbo beat an STI last summer.
Yup that vid is on youtube:laugh: :laugh:

What stories? Stories of having a fun fast 3l turbo csvt?
so what, your 0-40 is slower... but your 40-anything is MUCH MUCH faster!!!!
Its dimensions are good and makes it a proper (functional) splitter. Besides, I doubt Mirko would have made and used it if it served no purpose. Function first... aesthetics is just a bonus.I doubt it will help with anything but looks. I have a splitter on mine but this weekend will be the first time I will take it to the track.
I think some are forgetting that traction loss comes from being firm with the throttle in those lower gears. Its not an unpreventable problem with owning/driving the 3.0T.
I have not tracked my car but have been able to modulate the throttle in 2-3 and achieve sufficient traction.
That being said, you will LOVE a turbo 3 over a turbo 2.5. I have had both and I have found the 3L to be twice as fun as the 2.5. So much acceleration and power with so little effort.
On any given day at a simple 5 psi it is a riot. Now, bump that up to 8, 10, or 12 and the whole world changes shape when you mash the gas!!!!
I would imagine the STi's AWD drivetrain loss would be closer to 20% if not slightly higher :shrug:
Turbo contours would do a lot better at the track if people used better than a $50 boost controller.
