It took 150 shot, and other things for that one guy to rip off a high 12. So yes with all the listed above and a 150 direct port or wet shot, the crossfire could run low 13's, even high 12's. But for how long is the question? But off the bottle it is lucky to be a low 14 second car. And the STi still handles better, and that is assuming I stay stock. Which it won't be for long. When I am done I should be running low-mid 12's at around 110-112, with no nitrous. If I added nitrous to the amount that the crossfire needs to hang with a stock STi, the STi would be with ease an 11 second car.
With out some heavy modifications or n02 the regular crossfire is leagues away from the STi in terms of performance. Granted if you do beat on in a drag race I do think it is possible. Bad drivers still lose races. I beat an sti with my crossfire, he messed up the launch hit the rev limiter twice and missed two gears and I was only about a half a car ahead, and I hit each shift perfectly. I posted it on the board.
