Dear CTR Owners,
I am kind of disappointed with my expected performance for my FD2 CTR lastnight launching a 1/2mile with a Subaru impreza WRX (Not Sti) version 8. This is the first time i feel hopeless against a junior turbo charged car. With the review i have from the website my CTR do stand a chance to win or at least cope up with the power of WRX Version 8. Below is my review for my race lastnight and i hope there are some experienced CTR Owner who can give me some value advice to gain back my courage of pride for my CTR.
My FD2 CTR (225hp)
Stock most, only installed a Blitz Drop In Air Filter
Subaru impreza WRX 2.0 Version 8 (227hp)
HKS Full catback exhaust system
Air Cleaner
Greddy Blow off valve
I started with 4-5k RPM launching for 3 rounds and non of the round can manage to cope up with the WRX. During the last Rev (6-7.5RPM) of his 2nd gear, he is already 1/4 a body ahead of me and when he reached his 3rd gear full power i feel like my CTR had stopped and he shooted like an arrow. That is the first time i feel hopless with my CTR.
At our second set 3 rounds try, i got an advice from one of my honda mate suggesting using 3k RPM for launching and once the tire burned release the acceleration in a split sec and rev 1st gear to 7k, 2nd gear to 7.5k and 3rd gear to 8.5k. I admit that i did not manage to do exactly like he said but i do have it close to what he said. Anyway the result is the same, i lost about twice the lenght of 2 WRX body frame.
The only thing i can say is when i am reving in my 3rd gear the hopeless feeling is getting very obvious.
Please chip in some comments and value suggestion. I love honda and driving my CTR i do feel like a representative of honda on the street but if i cant catch up with a WRX i will start to feel like i am drive a family car...
my Doubt:
Is my Blitz cleaner decrease my VTR power?
Did anyone of you ever race with a WRX?
Is it really no chance in winning a turbo car in a 1/4mile?
Plzzz help me... i got another try arranged this saturday..
Thanks CTR...
