Give the stage 1 a few mod's like exhaust and better filter element, and an intercooling system. Then I can see a stage 1 beating a GSX. 1gen and 2gen turbos run different times stock given the wear on the engine and miles the turbo has sustained. I think comparing a stage 1 with a few mods and a stock gs-t is a better comparision. Our 60ft times would be closer and our drivetrains (2wd vs. 2wd)If your gonna compare stock turbo mitsu vs aftermarket turbo mitsu make the comparision on this basis. The only way we can compare track times is if the same driver in consequtive runs. To many variable are present to base this arguement on "i beat this stock gs-t from a light", or "i ran a xx.x with my stage 1, and my friend ran a xx.x with his stock gs-t". We all know the variables that affect track times so im not gonna waste my time with that. Both sides make good arguements, but until all the variables are even then we cannot make an accurate comparision. Hope everyone can see where im coming from.


VW= The joy of driving
DSM= The frustration of fixing
