Not sure if i have the slip for that run. But if i recall i hit a 15.4, the Subaru hit a 14.4 or something.

That was definitely a good supercharger vs turbocharger comparison

Yeah - Not a bad comparison except I'm a few thousand pounds heavier . But in all honesty the power to weight could be close. I didn't get many details on the Subaru before racing.

I would have thought the Subaru would have beat me all around with it's AWD. But perhaps needs a driver mod?

The WRX makes an easy 300/300 without tuning so i'd say you did pretty well. Was it modded at all and did you use 4x4 to launch?

It sounded like it had a pretty loud wastegate. But who knows what was done. I tried to track the guy down afterwards for more intel since he never grabbed his timeslip.

No 4x4 launch either, just had a good jump in 2wd. The 33's and stock 3.55's help reduce wheelspin for me

Nice, 15.4 is pretty quick for a heavy *** 4x4. I think the wrx had a bad run though

Surprisingly they are very grippy. I have the Rugged terrain model which is a more streetable version of the All-Terrain T/A KO. The rubber seems slightly softer than other BFG's. I also reduced the rear tire pressure a bit too.

Not exactly a drag slick - but i thought it was a good compromise for my truck Have you dragged your Coopers?
