Round 2: Bone Stock '06 WRX TR 1/4 mile times

Some of you might remember my first thread with the results from my initial trip back in mid March:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...t=191722<br />

I went to Richmond Dragway in Sandston, VA for round 2 today! The track is ~100ft above sea level and according to the National Weather Service conditions were as follows:

Temp: 55 deg F (at time of 1st run), 60 deg F (at time of my 2nd run)
Relative Humidity: 24 %
Barometer: 30.14 in. Hg
Dewpoint: 20°F (-7°C)

My car is 100% bone stock with 6,800 miles on the odometer. I'm running a 'true' factory stock set-up (nothing from the intake, intake resonator, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, engine management, etc has been changed). I used Shell 93 octane gas (had just over a 1/4 tank) and my tire pressures were set at 40psi all around. Only weight reduction I did was remove my spare tire (left jack in the trunk). I weigh 170lbs.

I got to the track early and my engine was able to cool for 1.5 hours before my first pass. I made 2 passes and launched at 5,000rpms w/ clutch slip. I'm car #22:

Run 1 (I bogged the launch)
60ft: 2.0688
330ft: 5.8446
1/8th: 8.9866
MPH: 79.44
1/4: 13.9679
MPH: 98.53

Run 2 (decent launch)
60ft: 1.9433
330ft: 5.6327
1/8th: 8.7650
MPH: 79.31
1/4: 13.7468
MPH: 98.25



Here are a few pics from the day:

Yeah, the TMIC is tiny! Heat soaks pretty quickly if you get on the throttle a lot in warm temps...

Not exactly sure. The shortblock is the same, but the STI has different heads, larger TMIC, larger turbo (VF-39 vs TD04) and more boost (14.5psi vs 11.6psi).

Thanks. I paid 23K + tax & tag for my WRX TR. I'm very happy with my stock times when the only upgrade I've done are the floor mats!
