I had my first little traffic light drag race today against a stock looking 2010ish wrx. We both had a slight rolling start and went up to 70km/h. With over 200kg of passengers in my car he just edged ahead of me by a couple feet. I was very happy with how my h6 went

If you haven't already, get your car tuned. The increase in acceleration will blow your socks off

Yep got it tuned almost straight after I got it saving up for my holiday spending money at the moment, but planning on getting e85 next year once I have my funds back up!

If you're able to, time the before and after 0-100 times. I'd be curious to see how much of a difference it makes

I shall try, I have never done a hard launch before, hence the slow rolling start at the lights, but I'll give it a go before I get the tune.

Before tune 0-100 6 seconds give or take
After tune....high 5 ...
After E85 ,raptor headers ,high flow cats and E85 tune ...easy 5 seconds with good gear changes

On an auto I got 7.2 before tune, 6.5 after and still around 6.3ish on e85 and headers. However 0-100 isn't the be all end all. Automatics tend to struggle on launches because of our lack of stall. But mid range and overtaking is so effortless!
