The stock tires are fine and drag radials might even slow the car down until you get massive HP. If they would be faster by chance it would be by a very tiny amount and would cause havoc on the drivetrain. With an AWD launch you want a tiny bit of wheelspin.

In short, it would be really stupid to change the tires on an STI for the purpose of going faster because most likely you wouldn't and would probably mess up your drivetrain.

This sounds like nonsense.

whenever I wanna look for a car's 0-60 times I just use google search with the quotes for exact phrase searches like: "mazda rx8" "0-60" seconds

By the way, great use of a Latin phrase ad nauseum.

I give you 3 out of 10 for creativity.
The man is taking about mag times(which he gets on everyone else about) then he has the audacity to talk about repeating the same insult. Which he does on a regular basis.

Advice to Ike:
1). Don't have double standards
2). Stop insulting everyone just to make yourself feel better(that's actually a 3rd grade mentality)
3). I hope the administrators catch on to this so that can ban his ***

He has done this to plenty of people on these forums. The man needs a life(I would suggest working for Subaru). He made a poll about me asking which would win, a Redneck, a Motocross Bike, a Tractor or a Horse. Funny to me because I own a Business that sells used Tractors(I guess that makes me a Redneck). But I was born in Puerto Rico. Damn that's something new, a Puerto Rican Redneck. Plus I don't know too many Rednecks that look like me(below) and have a Black wife. That would be a big !

I sure am glad politcal threads were done away with so we could have high quality discussions such as these.
