They actually forgot a zero it is 2000hp. That is why it is so good at autocrossing.

It has less torque than a Tesla Model S.... at 0-100RPM.

Yeah but it has 4x the power :D Torque is nothing without RPMs! 1000ft-lbs of torque at 1rpm will be destroyed by 300ft-lbs at 20000rpm.

I know, hard to find. Particularly at college campuses.

And ESPECIALLY at Autocross events.

Besides, all of the owners are douches anyway. All stuck up towards anyone who doesn't have one themselves.

Alright, sarcasm off. That last part is fairly true. The community SUCKS. If you don't see one at a track or an autocross event, STAY AWAY. The owner is probably an asshole.


Kinja'd!!! Brian Silvestro > YSI-what can brown do for you

Well I'm sure you went in expecting that. It's an affordable sports car, so all the douches will flock in to look cool and be cheap.

I've only met ST owners at AutoX events and they're just fantastic people to talk to. Forums are all nice too.

Yeah, it is a combination of Subaru bro dudes, and your general brodude. It is not a great place to be. Although, there are still the odd enthusiast here and there. 240sx forums are almost as bad. . . almost.

Hey guys Indiana local checking in.. The 2JZ 240 in the video has been around awhile and has gotten insane over the last couple of years. I think they narrowed the rear and did all of the rear suspension work last winter (or one prior.)

I'm not friends with the owner but have been around him quite a few times. He seems like a pretty nice guy and will bullshit with anyone who wants to talk cars..

Seen it on the street a few times too... CAR GETS DOWN! There are a couple of track vids on youtube from a few years back and I think its in low 10's or something.

Wait is this car in Indiana? That is amazing! I would love to see it but I bet he is further down south. In the video description he talked about getting a billet block, don't know how true that is though.

You can gear power into whatever torque you need; a lack of torque just means you need higher revs than you'd like. All the torque in the world won't make you go faster if you're lacking power, as it's the rate of work (acceleration) you can do.

I would not want to be sitting in the trunk of a 1600hp, 50psi car. So much potential for a flying chunk of tire, wheel, half shaft, or even the car itself.

Yea he runs around on the Southside of Indy most weekends.. Take a stroll through O'Reilly Auto Parts on U.S. 31 just south of downtown Indy on a Saturday night (after 10:00) and you will usually see it out. His friends have pretty impressive cars too. A couple 1000+hp Supras, boosted Viper, Built C6, built 427 C5 FRC (on craigslist fs now actually,) and probably the most known of the bunch is a black 99-00 Civic with a boosted K20.. There are a ton of videos of it on youtube.
There is a really popular video of it when it was down in Texas @ TK13, Google "Gabe's Civic" or "Gabe's boosted K20 Civic" and check it out. They are all pretty hardcore. Wow this post got long lol.
