986 S vs. WRX Sti

Note* I do not approve any type of street racing. Furthermore the Boxster S is not designed to be a drag racing car*


F@&K that....A WRX wanted to play, so I was like, "Alright, but I'll smoke you" on the drive into work on the freeway this morning.

Dropped it into 5th and off we were. I got into 4200 RPM's and I knew my UberVTEC kicked in, so I was good. Then I noticed he was now only 6 car lengths behind, but gaining, slowly but creeping up! WTF....this was no stock WRX!


I shut it down in the 120's and he pulled up next to me and I noticed he debadged the STi and took off the wing. Pretty cool that I could keep pace with something at least 70HP more than me.

WRX Sti: 320HP (inlcudes intake and exhaust)
986 S: 250HP

to the ground:

WRX Sti: 234HP (4wd loss)
986 S: 210-219??


Are my HP a little off, or good guestimates?
